Hurro my Interwebs,

This is kind of a heavy topic that I want to talk about today but it is really close to my heart, and that is: Feminism. Now there are a lot of issues around this topic, and so I’m here to clear some things up for those who might be against feminism for certain reasons or for those who might want to know my outlook on it. Disclaimer: if you don’t agree, that’s okay, I still respect your choices/decisions regarding this topic :3

The first and foremost biggest myth is that feminist hate men, we hate men because we think that they think they’re above us and we’re fighting for a single gender world. WRONG, many wrongs, I don’t hate men, in fact I know many guys who are for feminism. I think it’s unrealistic to fight for a world where men are our “slaves” and end up “beneath” us women. I’m not correct in saying that all feminist out there love men, there are some who regard sex or even having a relationship with a guy as a “non-feminist” behaviour. Some even believe that sex is a form of rape where the guy dominates the girl, which I personally believe is completely untrue.

However a lot of men ask: Well how about you pay for the bills the next time we go out? Open doors for us and make the first move? My response: Fucking fine, I’ll pay your bills, open your doors and make the bloody first move? Why not? Feminism is about diminishing these “cultural rules” that society has set up for us genders. When a 14-year-old boy was raped at knifepoint by a 20-year-old lady, it was feminists to supported him, rather than the men who all told him that he should have “enjoyed” it. Feminism is for the minority (which in this case is women) however it supports anyone who is feeling suppressed by society, gender and cultural values.

So why do we need feminism? We need feminism so that men aren’t constantly told to “grow a pair” and hide their emotions. We need feminism so that women aren’t told to “shut up” and “stay in the kitchen”. We need feminism so that rape culture can be demolished. We need feminism so that I can walk down the road at 2am in the morning and not have some creep cat call me and for my mother to anxiously worry about me getting attacked. We need feminism because society has found a system that is wrong, not only for women but for anyone who doesn’t fit under a “category”

Hello Interweb!

I hate Mondays, not just because they mean a start of another week of uni, not just because I like to sleep until 2pm and I’m not allowed to do so and not because I normally miss breakfast 99% of the time because I am late.

Well… actually it is because of those reasons, but this isn’t the basis of this post today.

Today was different, apart from the usual horrid Monday rituals, for some reason it decides to throw some other bullshit in my face:

1. I thought that my first lecture started at 11:30 in which was I was horrendously wrong and instead it began at 10:30, which wouldn’t have been a big issue if that hadn’t of been the only lecture for that particular subject. LAMÈ.

2. When I went shopping in the weekend I decided to put all my cash in my pocket… which I never took up to place in my wallet… Therefore I only have the money on my card which isn’t too bad but I’d prefer not to touch it.

3. I was fired.
Yes my children, I was fired from my job, which I’m more annoyed than upset about. The issue was that I needed to work full time, however I can only muster a casual/part time amount of hours within a week and so my manager had already found enough workers to work full time that he decided that me working those small hours was not worth it. Which I understood. The issue with this was that I gave up my previous job when I found out that I had gained a new one, only to be “let go” about a month later, which leaves me jobless.

4. A new job opening has been found… except for the first time since the stone age I decided to wear something more casual and less formal, so that’s what I’ll be wearing to hand in my resume. Balls.

I hate Mondays.
