Perhaps, sir, I work so hard so that I could be recognized as a hard working woman to my fellow peers, and not just a pretty fucking thing.

People say “Happy Holidays” because there are other holidays in December than just Christmas, and we like to practice a little thing I like to call respect.

However, It pisses me off that people pity me for not going.
Ditto only minus prom. I’m not going to walk at any of my graduations. It’s just a ceremony. Just give me the piece of paper and don’t waste my time or money.

morning-glories:
We were having a debate in class about women and gender roles and society. I said that there are more expectations and standards put on women than on men, and everyone is so used to them we don’t even question them anymore. We don’t realize that we have choices. We just do what’s expected of us, no questions asked. My teacher asked me for an example. I showed my armpits. I...

A despicable perpetuation (whether its intentional or not) of rape culture. Rapist are enabled by a society in which the blame of the situation is transferred from the perpetrator to the victim. Victim shaming and blaming is never acceptable. No one has to rape anyone or take advantage of anyone when they are in an altered state of consciousness. Too often are the victims disregarded because...
Hiya!
I’ve taken a looooooonnnnngggg hiatus from this blog, and that’s truly unfortunate. I have been feminist blogging on my personal blog the entire duration of my absence, but never really took the time to update this blog with posts.
I’m back in action and I’m glad to see that I’ve gained some followers in my absence. So, I’ll just take a moment to...

National Young Feminist Leadership Conference:...
So, this Saturday I attended the National Young Feminist Leadership Conference at GWU in DC. The conference was Saturday-Monday, but the last two days I fell ill. Even though I didn’t get to go the other days, Saturday was still an amazing experience. There were so many great speakers and workshops. I attended a “Fake Clinic” workshop which exposed the “Crisis Pregnancy...
National Young Feminist Leadership Conference
The National Young Feminist Leadership Conference will be held in Washington D.C. this weekend and I will be attending. In my school, it was invitation only and the pre-requisite was to have taken a women’s studies course with my sociology teacher. I wrote about my blog in a paper for my sociology class, and my teacher extended an invitation to me even though I haven’t taken...

“You don’t have to be anti-man to be pro-woman.”

Note from Intergirlactic: It seems these days that many women are labeled “feminazis” for pushing for equality and exposing social injustices. So, this is just a reminder, that although there may be radical groups out there (as there are for any cause) being a...
