5 Songs To Listen To While Smashing The Patriarchy



As an unknown author once wrote, "To feel like a queen is as simple as believing you are one."

In the year 2018, we are closer now than ever to gender equality, even if we aren't completely there just yet. Nevertheless, every woman deserves to feel like a queen and every queen needs a cool playlist to listen to while smashing the Patriarchy.

1. "Most Girls" - Hailee Steinfeld

One of the biggest misconceptions in complimenting women is that you have to tear other women down in order to do it. You don't have to tear down other queens' crowns to lift ours up. Real queens help straighten each others' crowns.

2. "Woman" - Kesha

You already knew this was a given.
In this song, Kesha gives credit to women for being independent and bada** all on their own without any help from anyone else.

3. "Flawless" Remix- Beyoncé ft Nicki Minaj

Okay but the video literally opens up with the definition for feminism. COME ON.
Proclaim with Queen Bey and Nicki that you woke up like this and show off your crown.

4,. "I'm Legit"- Nicki Minaj

This song is almost as good for when you're feelin' yourself as the previous in this list. Almost any Nicki song could fill this spot, but this one definitely is a shout out to the independent queens.

5. "Run The World (Girls)"- Beyoncé

Once again, you already knew this would be on the list. Who run the world? GIRLS! (obvs)

Take these songs and play them with your girlfriends with the windows down singing with huge smiles on your faces. Or while you smash the patriarchy and bypass every stereotypically male idea in our society. Or both. You be the judge, queen.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
