What's the point of more social media to "connect" us all when people can't even respond to text messages within the same day? Like I sent you a text for a reason, I didn't send you a letter in the post hoping for a response within two fortnights!
Hey, can I borrow some money? I'll pay you back right away. *Doesn't pay you back until you bring it up* Hey, can I borrow this shirt? Careful, with it, I really like that shirt. Yea of course! I'll give it back right away. *Doesn't give it back until you ask for it* -This is why I have trust issues.
I love Asian women
“Hey, how are you beautiful?”
“I hope I can get to know you better. I love Asian women.”
Went from rolling my eyes to throwing my phone (well not really because my phone is worth more than your ignorance).
THIS. IS. NOT. A. COMPLIMENT. I REPEAT: THIS IS NOT A COMPLIMENT!! So stop saying it guys!
So my race fit your criteria? I fit the description, so....we’re good? You know I love being objectified by strangers, right? So if I wasn’t Asian you wouldn’t want to get to know me better?
Important questions. You probably are not a malicious person, But you are ignorant. If you had said that to me in person I would have maybe tried to school you a little bit so you would know better. But alas, over text I did not want to confirm my number so you can continue to bother me. Can you really convince someone over text only anyway? Meh.
Geisha House
I was sitting with a group of my friends (who all happen to be female, of various Asian ethnicities) outside a bar. A group of guys walk past us quickly and one bright guy decides to yell at us, “Ey, it looks like we got a geisha house up in here!”
First of all, rude. Second of all, highly inaccurate to call the group of us wearing skirts/tanks/shorts a group of highly trained Japanese performers who wear traditional kimonos. Third of all, fuck you!
This is the type of racist cat-calling that I’ve experienced. I would imagine that women of other races have experienced something similar, but I can only speak for my experiences as an Asian woman. Never mind already having to deal with harassment as a woman alone, but now there are ignorant racial comments thrown into the picture as well.
I also feel that some might feel it’s ok to say things about Asian women because it’s not as lashed out as much. It is, but not as much. Asian women are over-sexualized and fetishized. It’s frustrating to always have to experience this whenever I go out.
Race
Never have I had a night out with my friends (bars, clubs, etc) where I didn’t get a comment about my race. Either in conversation or in passing.
Some questions:
1) Do you even know how to hold a conversation?
2) Do you think this flatters me?
3) What the fuck?
Some demands:
1) Stop being ignorant and thinking this is ok and funny.
2) I don’t like playing the “WHAT ARE YOU?” game with you.
3) LEAVE.
"In Australia, we had the biggest massacre on Earth, and the Australian government went: 'That's it! NO MORE GUNS.' And we all went, 'Yeah, all right then, that seems fair enough, really.'"
Seriously, is it that important for you to own a gun?? Those gun laws were applicable in a DIFFERENT TIME--like colonial times--and are not as relevant as they are today. People might have felt more of a need to have guns back then, but really, now?? Guns are wayyy more capable of killing a mass group of people now. You can’t predict people that will snap and kill others in a mass shooting, but you CAN do something about the laws that govern guns.
Work work work
This whole company hiring practices thing is a really wonky system. Can everyone, well at least the big agencies/companies, be required to hire a certain number of new grads instead of it all working against the people that are most eager to get working? It really shouldn’t be this tricky to get your first job.
Only the young and childless can keep up.
Work vs. Care. Great article about the overworking culture that will run out of steam.
Responsibility
Can everyone in the world just choose to do the right thing and not be so mean please. Please.
From huge corporations to the individual, I truly believe that it’s possible for people to just choose to do the right thing/higher ground. Don’t be so greedy. Don’t be so hateful. Don’t be so mean. Really think about what’s most important and what will matter at the end of your life to you. If we all felt responsible for one another and tried to take care of those around us, just think of the possibilities!
As women, we need to stop apologizing for taking up space and time.
When a recruiter seeks YOU out, you apply, and then get rejected.
Really? Really? K BYE.
Bama Alpha Phi Recruitment Video
No news here. Move on.
Stop shaming them. It’s a short recruitment clip in a larger recruitment process.
My friend was wearing shorts and a shirt and some guy tells her to “put some clothes on”......
IT’S OVER 90 DEGREES OUTSIDE!!!
Um um um ‘cuse me? Who are you? Or better yet, who do you ACTUALLY think you are? Did she ask for your opinion? What’s the temperature outside? Did you see what everyone else here is wearing? A fur coat and thick trousers?? Does her showing her knees bother you? Half her thigh? What about her arms? Oh no! She’s also showing her elbows!!
Kindness
Like someone somewhere once said sometime, imagine what would happen if we all tried to “out-kind” each other? Well, things might get really annoying because we’re all trying to be super considerate and maybe not get anywhere. No you go first, no YOU, no YOU, no I INSIST! No YOUUUU.
But if we did it RATIONALLY...imagine the possibilities!
It’s really not that hard to be kind. It’s a LOT easier than being mean to someone. Being kind and being nice are two different things. Being nice can be a surface, shallow thing--the appearance of being kind. Kindness radiates from within, I feel. Is that too cheesy? Kindness is a lifestyle. Not a fad. Not a juice cleanse. Although those are kinda good.
Settling
Why should anyone be in a relationship if they’re not really happy? Because the fear of loneliness can really make you hold on to something that meets your basic qualifications but doesn’t rise up to your standards. Invest in your friendships, because I’ve never felt lonely with the friends I have. Do you ever settle on friends? Like, oh I guess I’ll be best friends with this person. Maybe in grade school. But no, most people don’t settle on a really close friend. Most people become great friends with someone because they truly believe they and their friend(s) really click and they love to hang out with them all the time. Why should you settle in romantic relationships?
How can we accept ourselves for who we are if most of the time we don’t even know who we are?? Ah help identity crisis.
Damn, girl!
The other day I was walking down a busy street during weekend festivities with a friend of mine on our way to a bar. A group of guys passes by us and start hollering something. One of them walks back to us, cause we were waiting at the stoplight, leans back, hand on mouth, and says something along the lines of, “Daaaaammnn!” Then goes running back to his guys and starts yelling something else. My friend turns to me and says, “Did you hear that? He said something about Asians.” I was just like........of course. It always has to be about my race. It’s not one incident that pisses me off, it’s having that repeated every time when I go out. Or having someone use my race as an opener to talk to me. Like, really? “So you must be (insert race here).” Like that quote from Grey’s Anatomy, if you wanna compliment me, compliment my brain. Let’s not even get into how race really is just so arbitrary and it really is a social construct. This post would get too long.
A lot of guys really just. don’t. get. it. Why cat calls are not considered compliments and why women don’t like them. I mean how could you fully understand if you haven’t been a woman your whole life right? Well, try. And just take our word for it that we don’t like it and don’t do it.
