If Men Were Treated Like Women

They wouldn't know what to do

If Men Were Treated Like Women
Huffington Post

It's something that's often disregarded in day-to-day life because men and women are, simply put, different. So naturally, they're treated differently. But if you spend more time one the matter, you see how over-sexualized and belittled women are in today's society just for being women.

I mean could you imagine if:

A man didn't get hired for the job because he wasn't pretty enough.
A guy's significant other made comments about his weight that eventually led to an eating disorder.
A man was asked if he was on his period because he was acting slightly emotional.
A man walking home by himself got cat-called by a group of women.
A guy was told to "stop being such a bitch" because he stood up for himself.
Female coworkers made sexual remarks about the male secretary and suffered no repercussions because "girls will be girls."
A man was blamed for his own rape because he was wearing a revealing v-neck.
Men were pressured to look like the men on magazine covers.
A male athlete was told to "stop playing like a man."
A girl came up behind a boy at a party and started dancing on him without even asking his name.
Some sexist comments were made about "a man's place being in the home."
A boy was offered something for free as long as he flashed the girls his tits.
A male worker is told he is making less than his female partner...for the same job.
And so on...

And the worst part is, most men don't know any other way to act because most women in our society have learned to accept being treated this way. But if the roles were reversed, we know men wouldn't take any crap from sexist women. So why should women take any crap from sexist men?

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.
