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.

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.
