If You Think Wearing Camo Is More Manly Than Marrying A Strong Woman, It's Time To Grow Up

He knows who he is and that confidence is what we should really be talking about.

Yes, we know that Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan Markle are leaving the royal life and going on their own. They have decided to choose one another and no one is in any position to judge them. Especially when someone is going after Harry's masculinity, which might I add, has nothing to do with anything.

But of course, American blogger Michelle Malkin had a lot to say about Harry's so-called emasculation.

Prince Harry identifies as a man, this makes him manly. Period. Done. Conversation over.

Participating in the army or anything that has to do with the military does not make a person an alpha male. Sorry, but I'm not buying it. After 10 years of dedicated service, Prince Harry is no longer serving in the military, so it makes sense that he isn't rocking any camo. I would be concerned if he was walking around in camo head-to-toe 24/7. Would that not set off an alarm?

However, I think it's incredibly telling of his personality that "He continues to honor his service and promotes support for wounded men and women as they adapt to life post-injury." Now that's a man if I ever saw one.

Prince Harry finally found the woman of his dreams and decided to settle down. This isn't emasculation, this is maturity. He wanted to enter this new chapter in his life and guess what? He's just as alpha as he ever was **eye-roll**

I'd like to rid our patriarchal, misogynistic society of these harmful ideas of an "alpha male." As if this alpha is so much better than everyone else. There is no hierarchy of people, personalities, and behavior. We are all-powerful humans in our own way and our life decisions shouldn't influence how another views our masculinity or feminity.

I am not in Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's relationship to really share any insight, but, from what I can tell, he loves a strong, sexy lady. He isn't afraid to give her some spotlight and stand by her.

He doesn't have a fragile ego that, pardon my french, most "alpha males" have.

He knows who he is and that confidence is what we should really be talking about.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
