Yes I Am A Woman But I Shouldn't Be Treated Any Differently

I may have different body parts but that doesn't mean I'm any less capable of a (wo)man.

It's 2019 and it's a shame we have to continue to deal with the problems of discrimination and sexism. As a woman, I find it disrespectful that I can't walk anywhere or just be without getting scrutinized or judge on how I look or act. We get treated differently because of the way we look and I find that ridiculous. If I want to wear a short skirt or shorts, I can. If I want to wear something revealing, I should be able to.

I shouldn't have to worry that someone is going to hurt me or rape me because of what I wear. Stop telling women that they'll get hurt if they are wearing revealing clothing. Start telling men what the word consent means. No means no. Start teaching your children what is wrong and what is right. Don't let them think that they can do whatever they want to whoever they want. If men are able to walk around without having to be cautious of what they are wearing, then women should be too. Treat us equally.

And that's not the only problem women have to deal with. We have to deal with different salaries and being reated differently in workplace settings. Often women are told that we belong in the kitchen. We're told that men can only do certain things while women are supposed to wait on their hands for a guy. Well, that's not the case. Women are just as capable as men. We can do a lot. I'm tired of women being treated differently just because we have different body parts. We are all capable of doing the same things. Stop treating women like crap. Stop discriminating against people because they seem different than you. We're all the same. Human beings.

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.
