No Woman Should Feel Objectified

Women are people too.

No Woman Should Feel Objectified

There are men that completely respectful, but there are still so many men that are not. To men, women should be much more than sexual objects. Men should never look us up and down. Men should not stare down our shirts. Pertain to brush up against us as if it was an accident. Catcalls and whistle like we are animals at a zoo. Strange men should not think it is fine to grab our ass.

I can't even count how many times a guy "accidentally" touch my butt. I have even been in situations where I have bent down to pick something up and guys pretend to slap my ass as friends laugh. I am not Kim Kardashian by any means. I am just a woman with a larger butt and D cup breast. I should not have to feel objectified. I should never have to stand in a line with one foot awkwardly placed behind me to ward off guys from touching me.

To all the man out there who hate the Gillette commercial, you are this guy. You are the guy who does not view women as people. Instead, women are just objects you desire. Save all us women the time and do not participate in society until you get your act together. No one has to respect something with no feeling, do they? Oh, that something is a 22-year-old girl who can physically feel your hand touching her body and mentally wants to escape the situation. How uncomfortable would you feel if a stranger grabbed your dick as you were waiting in line at a supermarket? -Probably, quite uncomfortable

Maybe tomorrow you impregnate one of those girls you view as an object or ten years from now you are settling down and have a daughter. You would never want anyone to hurt your daughter in the way you hurt all the women you felt were objects. I truly do not know how men who objectify women as sexual objects live with themselves. Women have sexual desires too, but somehow we are the stronger ones who manage to keep our pants on.

Sometimes I need to be reminded I am indeed a person who should not stand for the poor behavior some males exhibit. After years of guys "accidentally" touching my ass I called the last guy out on it and felt badass. To all the ladies out there who are objectified, you should speak up for yourself. Never let a guy degrade you. Remember you are indeed a person who deserves respect.

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.
