Without Sexist Men, My Life Would Suck

Where would women be without sexism?

Without Sexist Men, My Life Would Suck

Sexists men are every woman's dream. Without the lovely misogynistic attitudes that woman put up with all the time, we would just be too darn empowered. We need men, who are definitely superior to our fragile emotional beings, to remind us of lots of important things. Here are some of them:

Without sexist men mansplaining simplistic pieces of the world, women would be walking around blind. Without a man making us feel inferior by explaining something we learned in grade school, we would be very confused, so thank you.

Without sexist men telling us what we can and cannot do with our bodies, we would not know how to handle ourselves or even how to get ourselves dressed. My mother once had a boss who was quite good at this; we'll call him Richard (his friends call him Dick). Richard felt women belonged in skirts, and as any wise, insecure sexist would, he made sure my mother knew she was not allowed to wear pants in his workplace.

Richard was quite pleased to see my mother in her gauchos, which he mistook for a maxi skirt. He made sure to compliment her outfit, as it was very proper of a woman. His large ego (perhaps there to over-compensate) was deeply hurt when she lifted her leg to reveal - HA - she was still wearing pants.

Without sexist men like Richard, my mother would have been actually allowed to teach the training programs SHE wrote and created. But she was "too cute," so no one would take her seriously anyway.

Without sexist men, we would have no one to judge us purely on our looks. Like the teenage boy who turned in his seat to tell me he was surprised I was in a high-level English class because I "look stupid". I will make sure to wear my glasses next time to fulfill your stereotype.

Without sexist men, we would have no one to give us confidence by cat-calling as we walk down the street. That is a daily boost we could not live without.

Without sexist men, feminists would cease to be considered feminazis. But we all hate men anyway, so that's fine.

Without sexist men, we would move up quicker in the work place without our capabilities being doubted, which would be too harmful to companies.

Without sexist men, we would forget our place is in the kitchen. We do make a pretty mean sandwich.

Without sexist men, we wouldn't get called a bitch for being opinionated. I mean, that is the only reason we speak our mind, to be bitchy.

Without sexist men, our periods would not be blamed for the literally everything. But women are always menstruating so that has to be it.

Without sexist men, I wouldn't be writing a satirical piece about the jerks who impede women's rights. Women aren't funny though anyway, so I guess this may turn out to be as useful as their outdated opinions.

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.
