I dare you to read all of this. Double dare you.

Response to some guys on fb complaining about feminist issues: We need to realize that it isn't male rights vs female rights, they go hand in hand. Feminism at its core, though obviously most views on what feminism is completely will vary from person to person, but at its core, it's about equality. Not favoring a female victim over a male victim, not girl power over men. It's about taking the playing field and leveling it and giving everyone a chance at life that isn't determined by the sex you are born as or choose to be. I could see where some men may see feminism as something that advocates women over men or gives women more credibility as victims, I could see how that could even come off as threatening to an illusion of current equality, or as unnecessarily extreme and uncalled for. That makes sense in some cases. Honestly though, I can't claim to fully understand the anti-feminist side of an argument. All that I have experienced has been experienced as a girl who got to grow up with the subtle yet life shaping expectations of an unequal society where I faced struggle, albeit minor manageable things since I've been privileged to stay in relatively progressive areas, that are a direct result of sexism. But I've seen worse, not just in the news but in person in friends and family, cases where friends were raped and the rapist got away (an unfortunately common story for men and women), cases where depending on location rape of women is a justifiable fact of life like natural disaster and rape of men is mistakenly unheard of, cases where people who worked hard were overlooked or disrespected and rejected for being female. A few times, major cases where I was treated as less because of my gender and I knew it was because of my gender (and worst of all the entire incident was disregarded because you can't just call out sexism where it isn't understood or recognized, where it's a myth that went extinct sometime in the 70's). Worst of all I know that it'll be worse as time goes on, when I go to college (where the major college search criteria in my parent's eyes and mine isn't just average acceptance GPA but also the number of reported sexual assault cases and the way these cases are handled), when I enter the job market where of course women are commonly paid less, promoted less, and given less opportunity in certain career paths than men and often don't even know it, when I have to get my own health insurance where my medical needs may not be covered because a woman's body is simply seen by many lawmakers as made for making kids and where those same lawmakers feel that it's not necessary to know much about women's bodies before they get to make laws controlling what women can and can't do medically (not just talking about birth control and abortion, believe it or not), when I have kids or get married and my role in my family is defined by those who do not know my family and assumptions are made about me by those who don't understand me. I know that the world is more progressive now and that these instances needn't apply to every case, but there is an extraordinarily high probability that they will. Just remember that the world we live in isn't equal and that equality isn't black and white. Remember that when you respond to a feminist's comments, especially a female feminist, you are speaking to an experience you don't know or will ever have to know, you are speaking to the anxiety that all women get to face (some more than others) and to a life that is more complicated than you know. Remember that these things matter to us for a reason and that we aren't shouting because we want to. And our experiences, anxieties, and complicated lives dot devalue yours or make yours any less complicated with their own unique set of complications. And most of all remember that both men and women suffer from the gender roles and expectations of an unequal society whether they see it or not. Bonus: To a feminist friend, about people who choose to devalue the views of feminists or to mock feminism as a whole because of their particular experiences with or limited view "some don't see this as something important but rather as something to troll about or reject as unnecessarily overblown. Idk but arguing back isn't really going to make the point you want to make or help anyone who doesn't already to see that a bigger issue like this isn't something to mess around about? Or that it's personally disrespectful/often even deeply offensive to those passionate or personally connected to this to belittle the overall purpose of the issue by pointing out inconsequential flaws or by invalidating the entire issue/opinion over a single person's views or perspective on it? Like you can't hope to change someone's perspective or respect for something if they have no personal experience with it or sentiment for it... Just a warning about picking battles, it's sometimes stuff like this unfortunately that creates the whole devaluing/misreading of feminism/stereotype of the "feminazi" thing. I get that it's disrespectful and can feel deeply inconsiderate when people devalue important things like this, it's just that no amount of convincing using fact or sentiment or passion can change someone else's mind if they don't want to change it themselves or already have a preset view of everything you are going to say before you get to say it... and often people who feel strongly about issues like equality and feminism etc. (I.e. me) want to keep pushing on every single argument because it matters and affects us and the people we care about, and basically it defines the way we experience things. But that pushing can be counterproductive if you get what I mean, sorry this probable doesn't make sense. Idk, just don't take stuff like this too hard, it's the big picture that matters most and the places where people actually can compromise to make society better for everyone, right? I'm not saying to be any less passionate or not to speak up or to silence your opinions at all. Just, as he saying goes, don't waste your time shouting in deaf ears."

FRIEND-O'S

WOW OKAY SO I WAs in a very loving mood today, and because of that I decided to write mini letters to some of my good friends.

Slapping it under a 'Read More' because who needs to read this sappy shit? Only people who want to, that's who.

In this thing, I wrote to Marie, Brianna, Jordan, Trudy, Ara, Michael, Ana, Sebastian, Kristene, Kevin, Brian, Rynn, and Aaron. I wrote a bunch more for other people, but I'll just post these for now. If your name is in here, you should click on the thing, because I mean like who doesn't enjoy reading nice things about themselves??? ? ? ?

Marie: Baby boo, we’ve been through so much, haven’t we? You always know how to make me laugh and smile no matter what kind of day I’m having, and you’re one of the few people who can do that. Most people don’t understand how deep and thoughtful you really are. I think it’s something that you don’t really share with others. Well, I’m sure glad you’re sharing that with me, because hearing you passionately talk about something is inspiring. Those days where we’re goofing around in English or loudly criticizing movies and TV shows will always be my favorite days. That’s why I always love being around you; we’re constantly having more fun than everyone else.

Brianna: Oh no, here we go. Brianna, Brianna, Brianna. Where do I even start? We’ve been stuck together since day one. It’s been a long time, hasn’t it? About three years now? It’s been a roller coaster, Bri, it really has, and I’ve really enjoyed riding with you. We’re basically opposites, you know? You enjoy rap, I like Japanese rock. You watch Vampire Diaries, while I’m busy streaming Boys Over Flowers. We’re two different people, but at the end of the day, I still find myself being able to keep up a conversation with you. I find that somehow, we are the same, in a couple ways. With you, I can be my crazy, dorky self, and not have to worry about your opinion of me. You accept me for who I am, because you’re even more goofy and silly than me. I find it so amazing that I’ve found a friend who can accept all of my weirdness and not love me any less.

Jordan: Jordie-poo, you and I have grown so much since we first met back in 6th grade. Hell, you were shorter than me back then, and now look at you! You haven’t even hit your growth spurt yet, and you’re already almost a full head taller than I am. A lot of time has passed, hasn’t it? Even though it’s only been three years, I feel like I’ve known you for at least six. It’s probably because I feel so relaxed and comfortable around you. Usually, I’m somewhat self-conscious around most guys. But with you, I don’t have to act a certain way to get your approval, because I already know you like me just how I am. You’re a total dork and you’re almost never serious, but that isn’t such a bad thing. Seeing you laugh and smile makes me feel all light and happy; it just proves that your happiness is contagious. I like how you and I always tell each other dumb jokes so we can laugh at how stupid we are afterward. It’s fun when we make faces at each other from different sides of the classroom and how we have a new tradition of constantly playing footsies during English. When I’m around you, I feel like a little kid again, something that I really need to experience every once in a while. It’s almost as if we’re both elementary schoolers when we’re together, and there’s nothing more fun than that.

 Trudy: God, we’ve known each other for such a long time. It’s been six years, man! Time has just flown by, but it’s good to see that you haven’t changed that much. I know I’ve changed a shit ton over these past six years, and you are a tenacious one by being able to put up with my constant personality flux all this time. I remember we used to fight a lot in 5th and 6th grade. I guess we were huge brats, huh? However, I like to think that all of our fights just deepened our friendship even more. It feels good to know that I have another friend I can share my interests with, because let’s face it—I’d probably be talking about anime 24/7 whether you knew what I was talking about or not. Our annual sleepovers for your birthday have always been a ton of fun, and I swear it’ll be something we’ll still be doing when we’re in college. When I think about how scary the future is sometimes, I gain confidence in knowing I have friends like you who will be jumping in with me.

Ara: Aw man, it’s been more than a year since we’ve met, but those months felt so long. I cherish those nights where we were up talking about nothing, and I cherish those nights where we were up talking about the world. I feel like I can tell you anything, and you won’t judge me for it. You’re the type of person everyone needs in their life, because you’re that much fun to be around. Our JeanMarco picture wars, anime/movie marathons, and dumb jokes/puns will always be something that I treasure. It’s only been a month or so, but I still find myself missing you so much. I just hope that wherever you are out there and whatever you’re doing, you’re smiling while you’re doing it. Because you deserve to smile. Your smile is beautiful.

Michael: Mickey, you will always and forever be my onii-chan. We started off hating each other, but I find it rather amazing how quickly that turned into the exact opposite. Our relationship is unique. We don’t talk as often as we used to, but we can still come back every once in a while and speak to each other as if our last conversation was just yesterday. Is that how it really feels like to have a brother? I’ll never know, but I do know that I’m glad I still have you to call family.

Ana: I’m going to start off by saying this: You are one of the nicest and most care free people I will ever meet. It doesn’t even feel like we met a year ago.. it feels like much longer. Having Skype parties and goofing around on Google Hangouts will always be the memories that I treasure most regarding us. I think back to when we first got to know each other, and I find it almost amazing how much our relationship has grown and changed since then. It’s too good to be true, really. There are times where we don’t talk as much as I’d like to because the both of us are busy with school and life in general, but it’s good knowing that you’ll always be there for me to come back to. Your art is just amazing, and I know you’re bound to go places with it someday. I’m so glad I’m able to work with you on this project, and I’m confident that we’ll end up making something amazing, no matter how long it may take.

Sebastian: Sebby! I remember that we always used to meet up in the library during the first semester of the school year and just laugh and talk about nothing at all. You make me laugh so much whenever you’re threatening to throw bricks at your math teacher or drawing goats all over my papers in Biology, so much so that any of my previous worries just drift away. You’re always so lively, even at 7 in the morning, and it’s just really fun to watch you bounce around the room. I honestly can’t imagine what I would do if I hadn’t met you this year, and I’m so thankful I did.

Kristene: You’re the most angelic person I know, okay? I’m not exaggerating when I say that, either. You’re so nice that sometimes I sit and wonder how such a kind person could ever exist. Before I met you, I would’ve believed it to be untrue. However, here you are, and I’m so blown away that you’re even here. You pretty much welcomed me to anime club with open arms and have treated me like I was someone so dear to you ever since. Your Mikasa cosplays are so amazing that it makes me jealous, but it also makes me want to try cosplaying too (because you make it seem that much fun). I remember that I hadn’t even known you for more than three months, but we were already sitting in the town library talking about anime for hours. To me, friendships like that don’t come around too often, so I’m glad I was able to have one of those friendships with an amazing gal like you.

Kevin: You, me, and Trudy are always having the most fun in math every single day. We don’t even have to say anything to each other; a set of exchanged looks is all it takes to send us into fits of laughter. Those moments are one of the few things that get me out of bed each morning, to be honest. Lunch would probably be pretty boring if you weren’t there making jokes or excitedly updating me on what’s going on in Naruto every Wednesday. When I’m with you, I laugh so much that my stomach starts to hurt and I can hardly breathe. I truly cherish the friends I have who make me laugh that much, because there’s nothing better than having friends who always know how to make you happy.

Brian: Hey, loser. Remember how we first met? It was over Facebook, during the summer before we first started middle school. When I was chatting you at that time, I had no idea how close we’d be three years later. We always act like idiots when we’re together, and we don’t care who thinks what about us. That’s why I like chilling with you; your carefree attitude is almost contagious. I think that I’d be much more timid and shy without you practically pushing me out from the shadows all the time, and I’m really thankful for that.

Rynn: Well hello there, beautiful. You already know how much I value you as well as our friendship. You were there to soothe me all those times where I was crying in the middle of the night. You were there to listen to me rant all those times where I was pissed off at everything that even breathed. You were there to pull me away from all of the fights I would’ve gotten into with people who were pushing me over the edge. You can get as angry and fired up as I do, yet you’re more in control over your actions. You say I’m the wise one out of the two of us, but I wonder just which one is the most mature. Without you being there to calm me down every time I get so riled up, I’d probably end up getting suspended a couple of times.. I don’t doubt that for a second. You and I just balance each other out like that; that’s the way it has been for years now. It’s good that we have that kind of friendship, and to me, it says that you’re like my other half. No, not in the romantic way you’re thinking of.. you have your boyfriend-o for that. I mean that you’re my moirail, kid. You complete me, in a sense, and I know that I’d probably be really lost without you here.

Aaron: Oh gosh, here we go. Time to embarrass myself in front of you for like the millionth time now. Well, Aaron, it’s been a great three months knowing you. I remember that when we first met, I was so nervous to talk to you. I still am, occasionally! However, the way you speak to me makes me feel like we’ve known each other for ages, and sometimes, I almost find myself believing that we actually have. You’ve always been there for me during the times where I thought I had absolutely no one, which I used to find kind of strange, considering how we haven’t known each other for too long. Even so, I’ve been more than thankful for all the times where you went out of your way to make me realize that I wasn’t as bad of a person as I thought I was, despite knowing that I wouldn’t be able to offer much in return. You’re one of the main people who have helped me get back on my feet these past few months, and it’s because of that fact that I feel a certain closeness to you. In other news, you’re also one of the biggest dorks I’ve ever met. Whether it’s rambling about random stuff in your audio posts or saying “cheese pizza” in a robotic voice, I always find myself smiling when I hear your voice. Even though we still have a long way to go on the road of “getting to know each other”, that’s a road I’ll gladly continue to walk down, especially if I know that you’re the one who’s at the other end.
