What is GIRL POWER??

DEAR MEN,

An amazing woman once said, "Some leaders are born women" and then she dropped the mic.

ANSWERS:

If you guessed "C" for all of the above, than you are one smart cookie and are already on your way to making this world a better place.

If you said anything other than C...

Then you still have a lot to learn and should probably practice being more knowledgeable and less ignorant.

LETS GIVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO PAST THIS TEST!!!

 

  

  
  








I hoped you learned something, but most importantly, I hope you teach something to those who still don't know about these kind of things.

So proud of you of what you've been able to learn so far through these blogs, keep being amazing and outspoken against all this hate, intolerance and injustice in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Feel free to keep the conversation going, I'll be waiting to hear it.

Planned Parenthood

DEAR MEN,

It's funny how some of you are quick to criticize girls who take birth control pills but...

SO THEY DE-FUNDED PLANNED PARENTHOOD.

THEY (MEN) DE-FUNDED (Took away money for) PLANNED PARENTHOOD (A safe way for women to abort their children)




THEY WHO HAVE NO VAGINAS AND DON'T HAVE A CLUE OF HALF THE SHIT THE FEMALE BODY GOES THROUGH, DECIDED TO GET RID OF SOMETHING THAT PREVENTED THE DEATH OF MILLIONS OF WOMEN A YEAR...

I just broke that down in extreme detail and still don't understand it myself.



No that's ridiculous!

BUT DON'T WORRY AMERICA! GUNS ARE STILL REGULATED SO YOU CAN KILL MORE PEOPLE AFTER THEY ARE BORN!!!

Literally.

They keep guns in circulation everywhere, like it won't be too long before you can buy soap, deodorant, toothpaste and a gun at CVS.

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH, and speaking of protecting the future children. They might as well put real guns on stock instead of the plastic ones. Most children often get their hands on a real gun anyway because there is one left within their reach at home.



but God forbid we give women the freedom over their own bodies and possibly prevent a child from being put in extremely dangerous conditions.

That's even worse than losing 20 kids at one time.


This is yet another achievement that will go down in the great American textbooks.

The next chapter should be interesting...

Got Hair? Don't Care

DEAR MEN,

If body hair on a woman bothers you, then don't look at it. We all went through puberty, so it shouldn't be such a surprise to discover a female with hair everywhere. 

Just shut up and be grateful that you don't bleed from your crotch every month.

Sincerely,
Sandra Ware

It's extremely irritating to inhale such ignorance on a daily basis and extremely bad for your health. It's one thing not to like something, it's another thing to say that it is completely wrong.



Um...Question.

Tell me, when did women having body hair make them less of a woman?

Since when was womanhood evaluated by the lack of body hair you have?

Why is it taboo not to shave/ remove body hair?

Why do people put so much emphasis on being bald everywhere?

Why do people care about what people do with their own bodies?

Why did the Christopher Columbus have to sail the ocean blue in 1492?

Why is the sky blue?

And other concerns...


Anyway, I recently had to idea to make this quick little post because of a little story that got more attention than it needed to on social media.

SO MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ, one of the most notable bad-ass women in action film history is loved and admired by men and women. Some call her a tomboy but she overall just liked to be herself. Sometimes you'll see her in a fancy dress, other times you'll see her in basketball shorts.

She has made it clear on multiple occasions that she doesn't care what people think about her. That's
why she wouldn't hesitate to go without shaving for a while and be seen with body hair in public. What seemed like just another awesome day in the life of M.R suddenly turned into a giant debate over whether women should keep their bodies hairless or cover up in public.

REALLY?

No, REALLY???

This woman does amazing things on a daily basis and you want to say that her value depends on whether she has hair underneath her arms?

REALLLLYYYYY???????


Well she's not the only celeb who doesn't care if shows a little hair.

Oh, what's good Miley?

Julia Roberts is still a Pretty Woman whether or not she shaves.

Mo'nique can still rock a stage even with hairy legs.

It's already sad enough that the beauty standard of this country does not represent a majority of women and girls, but on top of that, they have to face ridicule for looking like...a human?

A LIST OF THINGS TO STOP DOING:

1. Telling women what to do with their bodies

2. Telling women what to do with their bodies

3. Telling women what to do with their bodies

4. See #1-3

There is a real maturity in being able to see the real beauty of a woman's body beyond her appearance, not many people have it obviously. 

On that note, I'm going to leave you with some stunning portraits taken by Ben Hooper who started a photography series in London called "Natural Beauty." He took photos of a group of models and actresses, highlighting their unshaven armpits. The images play on the fact that body hair has been stigmatized here in the U.S and abroad and that most women are overly conscious to been seen in public with even the tiniest bit of body hair showing. 

It compares and contrasts fashionable female people with raw and unconventional female beauty. The point was not to make a statement about what women should and should not do with their body hair. He mentioned that this campaign was not to get more women to leave that hair on their bodies but to overall have more people be open minded to various perceptions of beauty in the many forms it comes in. He encourage people to question the current beauty standards and not to dismiss what isn't typically seen as attractive or beautiful.

To shave or not to shave... that is the question.

The answer is to do whatever feels right to you.
