"A Women's Job Shouldn't Include Leaving The Kitchen."

I Am Sick Of Listening To Idiot Male Chauvinists.

"A Women's Job Shouldn't Include Leaving The Kitchen."

By no means am I a feminist. However, there are some ignorant comments that I just can't get past.

For instance, "A woman should learn their trade and start working in the kitchen at a young age."

First of all, no. "A woman" should do whatever their heart desires. Yes, at one point in our history women mostly resided in the kitchen. The difference with that comment today, is that there have been tremendous milestones in fighting for equal rights of women. These milestones may not even be directly correlated to the idealisms of extreme feminists, but merely day-to-day activities or lifestyles that a woman can feel comfortable participating in rather than being constricted to the kitchen.

"If women don't have skills in the kitchen, they will have problems finding a husband because it's unattractive."

A woman speaking out for her own personal desires and dreams is unattractive? If that's the case, then I don't want to get married. We've gotten to a point in society where it is acceptable for a man to be in charge of the kitchen, while the woman has not a clue how to even toast a bagel. If there is a man who is specifically looking for a woman to cook for him, then he would be more successful in creating a time machine so that he can find a woman who doesn't mind being treated so poorly.

There is a major difference between looking for a woman who is a good cook and looking for a woman for the sole purpose of cooking for you.

The sad part is, some people actually believe in all of that. They believe that women should not have any part of functioning at a level remotely close to the men. They believe that a constantly evolving society is wrong.

Those people, in which I am referring to as "they" are ignorant male chauvinists who see nothing but black and white. Again, I am not a feminist, but I am also not an idiot.

I'm not an idiot and I am also not afraid to call someone out when they're dead wrong.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
