OMG babies!!!
I am pretty sure I am a bad feminist because all I want is a baby. Seriously. That’s it. All I want in the world is to be a mommy. I know there are other things I have to do to get to that point, but what I want is a baby. A mommy is the only thing I have ever consistently wanted to be since I was a little girl.
It was comical how much I wanted babies as a kid. My grandma’s...

Yuck
I’m currently looking for a job and have been looking on monster, careerbuilder, and even craigslist. I know craigslist is sometimes used by scam artists, but I know smaller companies often used it because posting is cheap. Well, evidently it is also used by perverts.
I sent my resume to an ad asking for a personal assistant and asked for more information about the job. I thought the...

Thoughts on "Home" and Glee's Treatment of Eating...
I have a friend who once said that Glee’s writing was awful and that the script only served to showcase the actors’ talent. He said that the only reason it was even a scripted show was because it wasn’t 1970 and variety shows just weren’t hip anymore. He needs to watch “Home.”
Normally, I’m not very big on over-analyzing TV shows, but sometimes it just...

"The Problem With Ugliness"--An Incredible Piece →
I was on Jezebel this afternoon and ran across a piece called “The Problem with Ugliness.” I was intrigued because it touched on an issue I so often ponder. Who decides who’s pretty? Do ugly people know they’re ugly? Are some people just gross? I loved it. I think everyone should read it. Seriously. Everyone.

Love & Marriage (Gushing About My New Life)
It has been forever since I posted anything because I just moved into my first ever house with my husband! I am married! I am in a cute little house with my husband! Well, not right this second because I am at school for exam week. In three days, I will be back at home though. In my entire life, I have never felt this incredibly happy before. Ever. I spent every day from Friday to Tuesday...

Who deserves to be slut-shamed?
In an ideal world, no one would talk about other people’s sexual mores. I have tried so many times to stop talking shit about other people because I know it is a negative habit. Every time I tried to stop, I couldn’t though. So I’ve decided to come up with a new goal for myself. I will only slut-shame people who REALLY deserve it. Totally brilliant right? So…now I...

Lady Gaga's "Telephone" Video
I am a huge, huge fan of Lady Gaga. In my admiration, I do not go to the lengths that some do in calling her a genius, but I love her music simply because it’s so catchy and makes me want to dance. I also thought she was a wonderful role model in a skanky, Christina Aguilera during her “Dirrrty” phase kind of way. Quotes like this made me love her: “The last thing a young woman needs is another...

Good Girlfriends Are OK With Sexism Evidently
I visited my fiance’s home in Indiana over my spring break and met his family for the first time. It was a fun and interesting experience—as well as thought-provoking. My fiance’s father has a bar in his basement; he and my fiance built the whole thing together, and it’s really very impressive. Something immediately struck me as soon as I came downstairs though: several very large pictures of...

Pink
I forgot to mention this in my list of reasons I am a bad feminist, but I think this is a pretty good one. I LOVE PINK. Love it. I am sitting in my room, and within a foot of me, there are six or seven pink things. I’m writing this in pink flannel pajamas (with zebra print to sex up my flannel—nice try, Victoria’s Secret, but flannel is kind of like the anti-sexy!).* Most of my clothes, in...

My Confession
I am not a good feminist, and quite frankly, I don’t know if anyone really is. My vision of a perfect feminist is pretty unattainable. She or he (because men can and should be feminists too!) is totally comfortable in her/his skin, is in a perfect relationship, thinks before she/he says insensitive things, actually does something to promote gender equality, and NEVER EVER consumes...
