I say “Be Yourself”
*** TRIGGER WARNING *** Stereotypes on the max, objectification of men and women, judgement, anorexia, alcoholism, rape, physical appearance, sexual orientation, plastic surgery, criticizing etc
I know there are a lot of trigger warnings and it’s a bit risky to upload something like this because people might be hurt but I felt the need to write down the words of two very important youtube videos. You can go watch them too if you haven’t already. They’re called “Be a lady they said” and “Be a gentleman they said”.
“BE A LADY”, they said.
“Your skirt is too short,
Your shirt is too low.
Don’t show so much skin,
Cover up,
Leave something to the imagination.
Don’t be a temptress,
Men can’t control themselves,
Men have needs.
Look sexy,
Look hoy.
Don’t be so provocative,
You’re asking for it.
Wear black,
Wear heels.
You’re too dressed-up,
You’re too dressed-down.
You look like you’ve let yourself go.”
“BE A LADY”, they said.
“Don’t be too fat,
Don’t be too thin.
Eat up,
Slim down.
Stop eating so much,
Order a salad,
Don’t eat carbs,
Skip desert,
Go on a diet.
God, you look like a skeleton,
Why don’t you just eat?
You look ametiated,
You look sick.
Men like women with some meat on their bones.
Be a size zero,
Be a double zero,
Be nothing,
Be less that nothing.”
“BE A LADY”, they said.
“Remove your body hair,
Bleach this,
Bleach that.
Eradicate your scars,
Cover your stretch marks,
Plump your lips,
Botox your wrinkles,
Lift your face,
Top your tummy,
Perk up your boobs.
Look natural.
You’re trying too hard,
You look over-done,
Men don’t like girls who try too hard.”
“BE A LADY”, they said.
“Wear make-up,
High-light your cheekbones,
Line your leads,
Fill in your brows,
Lengthen your lashes,
Color your lips,
Powder, blush, bronze, highlight.
Your hair is too short.
Dye your hair.
Not blue, that’s unnatural.
Look young,
Old is ugly,
Men don’t like ugly.”
“BE A LADY”, they said.
“Save yourself,
Be pure.
Don’t be a whore,
Don’t sleep around,
Men don’t like sluts.
Don’t be a prude,
Don’t be so up-tight,
Smile more.
Pleasure men,
Be experienced,
Be sexual,
Be innocent,
Be dirty.
Be the cool girl,
Don’t be like other girls.”
“BE A LADY”, they said.
“Don’t talk too loud,
Don’t talk too much,
Don’t be intimidating.
Why are you so miserable?
Don’t be a bitch,
Don’t be so bossy,
Don’t be so emotional,
Don’t cry,
Don’t yell,
Don’t swear.
Endure the pain,
Don’t complain.
Fold his clothes,
Cook his dinner,
Keep him happy,
That’s a woman’s job.
You’ll make a good wife someday.
Take his last name.
You have conated your name?
Crazy feminist.
Give him children.
You don’t want children?
You will someday,
You’ll change your mind.”
“BE A LADY “, they said.
“Don’t get raped,
Don’t drink too much,
Don’t walk alone,
Don’t go out too late,
Don’t dress like that,
Don’t get drunk,
Don’t smile at strangers,
Don’t go out at night,
Don’t trust anyone,
Don’t say ‘yes’,
Don’t say ‘no’.”
JUST BE A LADY”, they said…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
“BE A GENTLEMAN”, they said.
“You don’t earn enough,
You’re too weak,
You’re not ambitious.
Don’t reveal yourself,
Don’t show your emotions,
Don’t cry,
Man up!
Talk about your feelings,
Be sweet,
Be gentle.
Women like bad boys,
Women have needs.
Don’t flirt too much,
You’re pushy.
Look sexy,
But not too much.
Ladies like mystery”
“BE A GENTLEMAN”, they said.
“Find a better job,
Find the best job,
Be successful,
Be rich.
You need to support your family,
That’s what real men do.
Women don’t like men who buy them drinks.
Gosh! You’re always working,
You should find a hobby.
Do you even know how to cook?
You should learn that,
Invite her out to a restaurant,
Pay the bill!
Learn how to dress well,
Learn how to speak well,
Learn how to treat a woman,
Learn how to be a man,
Stop following social norms.
Be a good father.”
“BE A GENTLEMAN”, they said.
“Don’t be fat.
What are those tiny biceps?
Do you even lift?
You have man boobs.
Shave yourself,
You look gross!
You’re so obsessed with your body!
Women don’t like men who care too much about their bodies.
Take it easy,
Care about her,
Spend more time at home.
Go out with the boys,
Drink a glass of wine,
Drink whiskey,
Those cocktails are for women,
Drink expensive whiskey!
Cheers!
You’re an alcoholic,
Just like your father.
Why don’t you drink?”
“BE A GENTLEMAN”, they said.
“Hold the door for her.
She’s a big girl,
She can open it for herself.
Be understanding,
Be a feminist.
Don’t be afraid of aging.
You’re twice her age!
Are you her father?”
“BE A GENTLEMAN”, they said.
“Light up a cigar,
Play football,
Don’t be afraid of wearing pink.
Do you even like women?
Be a player,
She would never date a virgin,
Be her daddy,
Women like to be dominated.
Chase her!
She really wants to see your nudes,
It’s not big enough…”
“BE A GENTLEMAN”, they said.
“Be brave,
Be tall,
Be smart,
Be compassionate,
Be handsome,
Be tough,
Be calm,
Be aggressive,
Be funny,
Be strong.
Just be yourself!”
“BE A GENTLEMAN”, they said.
“Start your own company”, they said.
“Be a fireman”, they said.
“Get a degree”, they said.
“Beat the status quo,
Be a surgeon,
Join the army,
Be a stay-at-home dad.”
“JUST BE A GENTLEMAN”, they said.
“Be a millionaire,
Be a billionaire,
Be a trillionaire.
Be humble,
Be great,
Make history,
Leave your mark,
Be amazing,
Be spectacular,
Be outstanding,
Be extraordinary,
One of a kind,
Remarkable,
Exceptional,
Astonishing,
Be anything!
Be everything!”

Don’t be ladies.
Don’t be gentlemen.
Be human.
the various reasons why i despise society and what needs to change in order to be more acceptable:
i come to the conclusion that although it’s 2017, after so many decades of wars, fights, revolutions, conflicts, human race hasn’t learned a thing. so here are some of the topics i came to conclusion that we need to urgently address and change for the better:
longer penalties for animal abusers, human abusers, or similar treatments equaled to the crime committed. therefore if a person is killed they must undergo penalties fearful enough not to make them commit them again, if they mistreat a child or animal, make them undergo a painful punishment just as painful as their crime- otherwise from how bland we are with our justice systems, they will never learn. and the victims certainly dont recover so soon from psychological damages, they get scarred for a life.
have verbal , emotional, mental or psychological abuse be recognized as forms of crime and taken seriously by the society and authorities - no matter how you see it, this affects someone who’s a victim seriously and undermines their beliefs, as well as creating a sense of insecurity and lack of safeness in their whole lives. some become paranoid, but almost all will have traumas and trust issues, even on themselves for the rest of their lives. this needs to be addressed more.
teach children as well as remaining citizens and members of the society to not be afraid to be themselves , regardless of gender or sexuality as well as incult people that they are humans just like anyone else, and not some ‘monster with human skin’. they have legs, arms, eyes, mouths, and eat, drink, walk, run or laugh like all of us do.
homosexual marriage as well as adoption is not a sin . no matter how you say it is, you religious fanatics. that is the truth - and im not saying it out of my ass, i read the bible at least thrice and so far no passage whatsoever mentioned anything against such topics. they are all humans like us, enough with this.
promote equal rights for both men and women -enough of having women be paid less, not being recognized, being seen as a piece of meat, and never recognized of their opinion, called worthless, being seen as meaningless, or judged by their race, religion, culture or even the way they dress. the clothing does not define anything, enough with harassment, a mini skirt is not inviting you to assault her, a low cut top is not inviting you to comment on her chest. being a woman does not give you the right to catcall or diminish anyone in your presence, or use slurs or diminishing actions such as saying ‘ go back to the kitchen’. women are not your slaves, your piece of meat, your bone, your personal maid, or anything demeaning you might make them seen as. as well as women are not weaklings, and we do handle things men will never have a taste of. which brings me to my next topic
enough with making period talking a tabboo word. it’s a natural process in a woman’s life, just stop being a weaboo and accept it. - we wear pads, tampons or diva cups to contain it inside our clothes instead of dispersing it all around outside; enough with the immature, stupid looking expressions whenever a woman is seen to possess hygienic items with her. enough with being disgusted by a woman complaining about her period pain or speaking overall about her experiences with it. it’s a natural process, what the heck did you expect? that we keep our mouths shut about it for our whole life? it’s a NATURAL PROCESS. it’s nothing out of the normal or a monster with 6 legs. it’s just a natural. process. and instead of being a douche about it, try to help or empathize and get knowledged on it. when we say that it feels like 20 punchs all at the same time going through our stomach or a knife in our back, we are not kidding, and instead of trying to deny it that it happens and calling us crybabies, try being nice and compassionate, because after all you never probably will go through that. not, not even if you try what the buzzfeed guys did in that video of childbirth pain. you will never have a fucking idea about it, stop trying to act so almighty.
everyone’s body is their own choice and territory, we are not government’s property to have our rights of choice over how we take care of it taken from us - we have the right to voice out our opinions and defend ourselves from criticism, and diminishing or changing views. we don’t care if you think these jeans look too tight, or if we gained weight or we look too thin . we never even asked you anything about it, did we? it’s our matter, our businesses. our body our choice
abortion is not a sin, if you are not mentally/emotionally/psychologically/physically/financially available or have time or energy to invest on having a child, we have the right to say ‘no’ to childbirth and ‘yes’ to abortion. if one does not feel 100% capable of making such an accomplishment they should not have it and that0′s final. raising children takes a lot of attention and time, and patience and costs - they are not dolls with blood ties, they have feelings and physical needs. better not have it than neglect for the whole of their lives because you’re either too tired, without patience, not enough financial stability for their needs, or can’t control your mood swings. enough´
same logic applies with animals. why the hell do you go to that pet shop or shelter, take the animal with you only to have no time or energy or compassion for it, and abandon it later on, or make up an excuse for it? stop . they are animals, but they have feelings like us and needs, they are family the moment they are with you, stepping inside their new home.
combat hate groups and movements and help terminate them - no matter how much you say people are allowed to have free will and speech, if those same rights are in conflict with the security of others, then they are not rights but instead violations of other humans sense of security as well as a menace to democratic systems. laws exist so peace can exist, otherwise we would have a catastrophe in various levels. these groups should and need to be eradicated at all costs and be hunted down like the plague. after the nazis in the 40′s has human race not learnt anything at all?!!!
to make people understand the problem is not the muslims but the criminals, and inhumane monsters who try to dirt their image. to understand people are not just about race, and spotting the differences but accept them as equal human beings with feelings and needs. we already had 2 world wars based on this matter, enough is enough, when will people learn ?! the same applies to afro-american, latinos, hispanic, asian ... stop being xenophobic. you don’t know what rich culture, and knowledge and fun you′re losing from putting interesting people with such enriching experiences and marvelous stories away from you. human race won′t be contributed with anything from racism . enough.
Social Justic vs. Divine Justice
“That biblical vision of a world-for-all did not come from our modern ideas of democratic power or our contemporary claims about human or civil rights. It did not come from liberalism, socialism, or communism. In recognizing its challenge we are not retrojecting any of that modernity back onto antiquity. A world-for-all came, if one needs an -ism, from Godism. That means, of course, that the biblical tradition does not proclaim “social justice” but “divine justice” — which is something like social justice on steroids.”
Great article here by biblical scholar, John Dominic Crossan, over at Huff Po Religion about how and why the Bible promotes equity.
Social Justic vs. Divine Justice was originally published on TURRI
Equality
I believe everyone should be equal and their should be no special favoritism to any race. Companies have e a specific racial ratio and it should be based on experience and talent. Many government and corporate offices are required to have a percentage of specific ethnic groups, but some of these people just are not qualified for the position. An example would be, a Community College employing a person that hardly speaks English, causing a education barrier with the students. Also, special government programs for ethnic groups/races, ALL this would stop because everyone would be equal.
Thank you @ccplibrary @ccpedu for inviting #racismisasickness to be a part of #diversityweekccp. I hope this work in some small way inspires more #communityengagement #communitybuilding #communitydialogue around #racialjustice #inclusion #tolerance #euqality for all.

My resolution for 2016 was to stand up for the things I believe in, and one of those things is feminism *misogynists everywhere start screaming*
I'm not into the whole extreme "women are better than men" thing because that IS NOT feminism. I think women and men are equal. Now of course we're different. That's common sense. But our differences don't make anybody the weaker. For example, one person can be good at math, and another can be good at writing. Is one person better than the other? Of course not. They're different, but that doesn't mean anything. Difference is not a basis for establishing the strength of any person or of any sex. That's just stupid. Yes, immature choice of words, but really, it can only be qualified as stupid. Instead of deciding that, oh, women should stay in the kitchen because they're weak, why not, let's say, embrace the fact that because women and men are different, they have different things to offer, AND THAT IS GOOD. It's great that men and women are different because then a bunch of different ideas and points of view can work TOGETHER and contribute EQUALLY to accomplish very great things as a team. Don't just dismiss women as "weak" and "less intelligent" and only good for having babies and raising them. What you perceive as a so-called "weakness" can actually just be a simple DIFFERENCE that would allow the other person to contribute something different to workplace, world, or whatever, and allow for proper innovation and progress because DIFFENT IDEAS ARE NEEDED FOR THINGS TO MOVE FORWARD. YOU CAN'T HAVE BIG PROGRESS IF YOUR THINKING IS BACKWARDS AND YOU ARE CLOSE-MINDED. So, dudes (and gals who hate men. You're not special), SUCK IT UP and realize that people need to be treated as PEOPLE and not men/women. We need to work together and be treated as equals because nobody is better or worse or weak or strong. All you need to do is treat people as PEOPLE. Respect them. Don't shut them down. You may learn something. You may realize it's better to work together as equals than to go around pissing each other off because you think the other person is wrong just because their chromosomes are different from yours.
Dear all Paris dp changers... With all due respect. N I repeat with all due respect ... I don't remember one single time you changed your dp in solidarity with #Palestine with their flag, nor did you change it for anything that happened in #Iraq, #Syria , #Afghanistan, #Pakistan or even #India, then howcome today the blood of #Paris has become more valuable than that of all these... Yes I may sound heartless here and I know to some liberals I may sound sick minded too .... But just a piece of thought... Is the value of human blood determined by how developed a country do they belong to ?? Or is there a different criteria all together ??
