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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
