Tomi Lahren Is A Pro-Choice Anti-Feminist?

I bet you never heard those two phrases put together in one sentence before.

Tomi Lahren Is A Pro-Choice Anti-Feminist?
TheBlaze.com

Everyone knows who Tomi Lahren is, along with her conservative viewpoints all across their Facebook feed, but what some may not know is she is pro-choice. Now this may come as a shock to many--liberals and conservatives--but I couldn't grasp how she could be against feminism and call herself pro-choice all at once.

If you don't believe me, check this out: (Skip to 7:38)

Now she believes in having a choice as a woman all while saying this: (Skip to 1:37)

If those "final thoughts" didn't convince you she is anti-feminist, maybe this article will.

So, can Tomi Lahren be both pro-choice and anti-feminist?

I understand going against stereotypes--in fact I am a pro-life feminist myself--but Tomi's quote on why she is pro-choice was said just like a feminist would say it. She said, "Stay out of my guns, and you can stay out of my body as well."

She sees the problems happening with women today, but she isn't hesitant to criticize when someone tries to do something about it. In this video, she even pointed out specific problems that women have today, but she claims that feminists aren't "preaching" about those issues but rather different ones. The feminist movement today is about all issues women face, including the examples Tomi Lahren gave in the video. An issue is the image women are in a the eyes of others based on stereotypes. My favorite part was when she tried to make women feel empowered.

What is the movement of feminism really about? It's still the same today as it was years ago. We want to both keep the progress we've made so far and continue to make progress.

Feminism today is about empowering women.

Feminists can in a wide variety and range of different types of feminists. Pro-choice feminists believe in equality--including the images of women today and to keep the government "out of my body as well." Pro-life feminists believe in equality--including images of women today, but the only difference is pro-lifers see abortion as killing a baby.

Tomi Lahren is the exact definition of a pro-choice feminist. Then again, maybe she's to lazy to do something about the issues she sees. If this were the case, she would not be a feminist in any way.

Feminists with such a big following would use their platform as a voice to help change the issues at hand. Anti-feminists with such a big following would complain about the feminists who are trying to do something about the issues at hand.

So maybe someone can be both pro-choice and anti-feminist.

I still wonder why she can call herself this. Could she be scared to use her voice? As a feminist, I would tell Tomi to not be scared; instead, take courage and go change the world. Many feminists across the globe could only wish to have the voice Tomi has.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself.
