I Am A Millenial Woman And A Feminist

It's time we stop tearing others down for how they live their own life.

I Am A Millenial Woman And A Feminist

As I read through your article, I was truly taking in everything you had to write and tried to understand your point of view on why you are not a feminist. First I would like to say that I myself am a feminist because I believe that women deserve to have their own mindset on anything they do. I myself like to have the car door opened for me but doesn't mean I get to dictate how others feel. I don't get to tell others how they want to be treated because it is none of my business.

Maybe it's my California heritage that allowed me to decide how I wanted to view the world and how I wanted to create my own rules, but I truly understood that being a feminist allows women to be treated THE WAY they have always wanted to be treated.

I understand how you want to be there for your husband and kids, I do too!! But I am also a feminist because many women don't get the simplicity of being a stay-at-home Mother. There are women currently being human trafficked all around the world, children are being married into at age 9 and impregnated by age 13, there's STILL no equal pay and women in the Democratic society we are in are discouraged to have the CHOICE of their own bodies (like it's a mans opinion to dictate how women should take care of their bodies).

I am not a feminist because I hate men. I am a feminist because I believe that every woman deserves the chance to decide their life like me and you have the opportunity to do.

I also cannot wait for my future, but I also am supporting the future of others. I want my daughter to feel like she can do anything she sets her mind to. If she wants to be a stay-at-home mother go for it! But if she wants to be a CEO of a company who am I to stand in her way? We all are searching for the end goal of happiness, so why are we not helping each other?

Feminism is not hate. Feminism is not tearing down those who want to be a mom. Feminism is allowing yourself the ability to have individuality. Feminism is opening the eyes of others that we do deserve better rights. I am a feminist because it is none of my business what a woman wants to do. It is time to support each other more than ever.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
