Feminism in a blog post.

Okay okay okay. So the other day my little sister recommended that I watch this documentary called Miss Representation. (PS it swears and there's some graphic images.) You can see the trailer here. And I don't want this to be a boring feminist rant, but I just think it's really sad that women are having a hard time being taken seriously. And when you get sad about that, it's hard not to want to punch boys in the face. (And I encourage it if he's being abusive or just down right stupid.) 

As a college student, I've experienced times where I've felt men put me into stereotypes; whether it's in a classroom debate, talking to my friend, or an idiotic stranger who has yet to understand exactly what a woman is capable of. And i don't mean to sound rude towards men--I have a really wonderful fiancé who accepts and applauds my feminist moods (even if it scares him sometimes.) I just wish that every single man who has ever been born would celebrate women and their greatness haha. 

But in all seriousness, I do think women should celebrate themselves. Not only have they mastered stiletto heels, curling irons, and remarkable beauty; they give birth, they are excellent mothers and incredibly strong--mentally, physically, and emotionally. So give yourself a pat on the back. And wake up everyday for the rest of your life patting yourself on the back, because we will never see the day where men are capable of all that. 

Which is why you should chase your dreams and be confident with who you are. You should be a doctor if you want to, or an engineer, or the president of the United States, or a mechanic, or a receptionist, nurse, teacher, or a stay at home mother. Any great thing you do in life should be celebrated by you and others, because you're a really cool, complex gender and you're just a really great human that's capable of so much. So don't be afraid to call out the hypocrites, the idiots, the liars, and stand up for yourself and all that you are. A woman.
