How To Win At Feminism

How to Win at Feminism: The Definitive Guide To Having It All-And Then Some, presented by Reductress is a satirical view on the realism of feminism. The views in this book are unnerving, borderline vulgar and downright hilarious. Geared more towards the heterosexual woman (although they love their lesbians) is a gruesome look at how feminism really works.

This book is done in a comical undertone, but the point-of-views and ideology behind the words speak (or read) volumes. How To Win At Feminism informs its readers on:

  • How to Do More with 33 Cents Less
  • How to Be Sex-Positive Even When You’re Bloated
  • How to Love Your Body Even Though Hers Is Better
  • The 9 Circles of Hell for Women Who Don’t Help Other Women
  • Designer Handbags to Hold All Your Feminism
  • How to Get Catcalled For Your Personality

And many other realistic views from influential women in comedy and journalism. Feminism is a way of life for some and this book takes that way of life to another level. Showing the reader how to take Feminism seriously, but not too seriously. This book makes sure you don't take things too literal, if you do, then this book may give you a heart attack.

With quirky interludes throughout the text, this book tells how the world views feminism: they know it's there, and that it should be a force to be reckoned with, but not so much that a man would lose out or exchange his status for that of a woman's. Don't be the prettier girl either, if you don't support other women, well then you are getting a foot right up the bum with this book.

Reductress.com is an excellent site, well put together, that has a little bit of everything: news, sports, podcasts, ETC, as long and you're an innovative woman then you will benefit from it. If you're not, well then I can't help you. Reading the book, then visiting the site made all the sense in the world. These ladies are awesome.

If you don't mind the "straight-talk" about sex and other male-driven paradigms, then How To Win At Feminism is just the book you're looking for to spark your curiosity in feminism. This book shares how you can really have it all.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
