Ladies, Stop The Double Standards With The 'Sexiest Man Alive'

You don’t have to be a Hemsworth brother or a Channing Tatum to make the cut.

We know that men and women are judged by society differently,but it’s rare that an example comes along that highlights a double standard, recently Blake Shelton has been named sexiest man alive and most aren't happy with the choice.

Many have vented on social media that numerous other males should have won the title and that they “messed up” picking Blake and proceed to name other celebrities they deem hotter due to their sculpted abs and chiseled jawlines.

My question is why is this okay?

Why is it okay to tear into this man but when it comes to talking badly about a woman it's a whole issue and how dare we say she's not beautiful or its misogyny.

I'm sorry to say this, but there is far more to sex appeal than physical traits and the ability to break box-office records.You don’t have to be a Hemsworth brother or a channing tatum to make the cut.

Personally, I think that it's great that they went a different route,mainly because NEWS FLASH men have body issues too and for those who aren't happy in their own skin they can admire the fact that a guy with an average build has been nominated “sexy” and that it then makes them more confident with themselves so why take that away from them?.

This is a first for any country singer to win this title and it's even getting blake himself to shake off his own insecurities about his looks. it would be nice for a change if people could just stop hating and being so immature.

If you aren't happy with the choice you shouldn't rip someone else apart to voice your opinion and you shouldn't read about it in the first place if you are just going to pout about who has been nominated.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
