Being a Woman
One day we will rule this world
Being a woman sucks, plain and fucking simple. Times have changed but not enough. Women are still the minority in this world. It goes men, children, the elderly, animals and then women. We come fucking last always, no matter what. This world is cruel and not made to have women in power.
Women can't go anywhere without having some type of fear in their hearts. In constant fear that some man is going to grab us and hurts us. Some animal is gonna jump out and attack us. We walk around with pepper spray, tasers and fucking tape whistles. Do you ever see any man with a cute fucking pepper spray key chain, no the fuck you don't and you wanna know why? Because men don't fear shit. They walk around like they own this world, why because society and history proves that they're in charge.
Let's face it men are more powerful than us, they're physically stronger, they're more respected in any aspect of this world. They're above us no matter how you look at it we always come after them. Men aren't walking around scared that some female is gonna grab them and rape them. They're not afraid if some dog comes at them and tries to bit them. They don't fear shit like us women do.
When a woman gets put into a high position she's constantly wondering if someone better will come along and take it. Men don't fear to lose their jobs. Less than 5% of CEOs are women, only 5 fucking percent, a few years ago it was 8%. You see women have to worry about losing their powerful jobs because society says men can do it better. We as women have to work 10 times as hard as men to just prove we can stand in the same league as them. Not play but stand on the sidelines, and once they're desperate or feel like making a change that's when they decide to give us a try.
We still live in a world where men want their women cooking and cleaning even though they work just as many hours if not more than their spouses. I work 70 hours a week and people make fun saying I'll never keep a man because I'm not up making his lunch before he heads off to his 8 hour job. While my ass goes and works 12 hours I'm still looked at to doing the fucking cooking. I'm not considered a good woman because I'm not at home cooking and cleaning up after my man. I get talked down to and called a lesbian because I have short hair and wear gym clothes on the regular and a lot of the time I don't wear make up so I'm not womanly. Yet men are allowed to grow their hair super long and wear jeans tighter than ours. They can sing super sad love songs and talk about crying and heartbreak but I say fuck too many times and I'm considered unladylike.
Men can do whatever the fuck they want but we still have to follow some unspoken, 1800th century guidelines that make absolutely no fucking sense and nobody bats an eyelash about it. They say "it is what it is" as if that makes it ok.
Women can't talk about farting or taking a shit but men can belch right in your face and everyone acts like its fucking normal. Men can talk about their sex lives as if it's normal dinner talk but god forbid a woman speak on sex she's a whore stay away from her. Men can have an opinion on anything and everything but if we chime in, it's just silly banter.
Men control whether or not we can have abortions. They control how much money we make and whether or not we're allowed to fight on the front lines. It'd be a nightmare if a woman outshined a man on the battle field.
If women would stop being so fucking afraid of men we would be the ones controlling this world. If we stood up to the mass majority we could take over everything. But women shut their brains off, they turn their thinking caps off because they're afraid if they open their mouths and spoke the truth they'd be punished for it. Who the fuck is going to punish us, the men, not if we banned together. All it fucking takes is for every women to swear off sex for an entire week and the whole world would go to shit. They'd fucking bow down to us. Pussy is fucking power but most women don't believe it because it's a woman saying it not a man.
I pray for the day women start to realize how fucking amazing and powerful we really are. Without us men wouldn't survive and they know that, that's why they say and do the shit they do to keep us down. They're afraid of us they'll just never admit it. One day we won't leave the house terrified for our safety. One day we'll walk past a group of men and they'll smile out of respect not out of lust. One day we will take over, I just pray its during my life time so I get to see it all unfold. One day my beautiful queens, we will rise up!

Not that girl
Have you ever felt less than a woman, like you're not holding up to the standard society sets for us as women? No matter what you do you'll never be good enough, you'll never be one of those girls. You know the type they portray in movies and tv shows and plaster all over magazines and billboards? I feel like this daily. I'm constantly battling myself on what I should be doing to be considered a woman. Always doubting myself and wondering where I went wrong and how I can live up to the unachievable standards this world has set for women. As women we have come a long way from not having any rights to being in control of our lives. From being second class citizens to being just as equal as men (or so they say). But one thing hasn't changed and that's the way we see women, as far as appearance goes. We still set the standard as thin, tons of make up, long hair, nails done, tight dresses and heels. Even women they depict as the girl next door is thin and wears heels! It's like we move forward as women but in television we still see women as that type, the type we can't seem to get away from. A guy recently did an article on what a womans nails says about her but not once did he mention women who don't have their nails done, as if we don't exist. As if it's impossible for a female to be considered a woman if her nails aren't long and painted. There's other articles on what a womans heel height says about her and what her clothing says about her. In all these articles it never mentions the ones who don't wear dresses or jewelry or only wears sneakers because in society's eyes we are not considered women if we don't fit the standard, cookie cutter image they have set for us. I'm sorry but society is wrong, majority of the time society is wrong yet we still look to magazines and tv shows to tell us how we are supposed to be as women. I hate it, it drives me insane. I hate feeling like I'm less of a woman because I prefer to wear chucks over heels, or gym clothes over dresses. My kind of dressing up is a character tshirt, jeans and sneakers. I'm not a jewelry type of girl, my ears are stretched and I'm covered in tattoos so that's my jewelry, my "decoration" so to speak. Don't get me wrong I wear makeup but its very minimal and I would die before spending more than $12 on makeup. My $8 foundation works just as good as your $40 mac coverup. My $3 eyeshadow pallet from wish is just as pigmented as your $70 urban decay pallet. The fact that women think it's ok to spend that amount of money on something because they think it's what makes them more of a woman is fucking ridiculous. Such stupidity in my eyes and to be honest nobody, not women or men, can tell the difference. No one can tell that you're wearing $80 makeup or $3 makeup. No one can tell and honestly nobody gives a fuck either. Women spend thousands of dollars a year on getting their hair done, their nails done and all the makeup they purchase, all for what to prove to the world that they're womanly? Its bullshit that we think this is normal and that everyone is ok with it. We fight with ourselves and get depressed when we gain weight, we think its unnatural to have any fat on our bodies. But women were designed to have more fat on their bodies than men, because that's what helps us to carry a child and protect it while we're pregnant. It's ok to have some fat on your body, you don't have to be a fucking skeleton to be considered a real woman. In my eyes, and most mens eyes, a real woman has curves and they come in all shapes and sizes! I shouldn't have to feel like I'm a less of a woman just because I enjoy sports and would rather have a new basketball than go get my nails done. I like playing sports and being physical so if I got my nails done I'd be too scared to ruin them so I'd give up the things I like. I shouldn't have to feel bad about myself because I would rather go to a concert and rock out to a band as opposed to wearing 5 inch heels I can't even walk in and go out to a fancy restaurant where I'll only order a salad because I'm too insecure to eat anything with the fear I'll gain weight and not be able to fit in the skin tight dress I'm wearing. Trying to be a woman in today's society is just un-fucking-bearable and I refuse to conform to these standards. Society can go fuck themselves because no matter what anyone says I'm a real woman. I have a vagina between my legs, I've carried 4 babies in my stomach, I've given birth, I'm a loving mother and I'll be damned if I allow a bunch of rich dickless assholes tell me otherwise. As women we should be fighting for each other and not following these undesirable rules. We have fought too hard to still be looked at as only sex symbols. We have done too much and overcame years of oppression to still be held down by unrealistic standards. We are stronger than ever but the only way to beat society is to come together as women and remove the stigma that has been set by men. This is not the time to be using "can't beat them so might as well join them" instead we need to be setting our own standards as women. We have the power to do it, we just have to come together and push for it the same way we pushed for our rights back in the 70s. Men set their own standards so why can't we do the same?

Thank You Female Product Companies For Normalizing Human
I was born in 1990. In May, smack dab early mid-year. I am quite LITERALLY the definition of a '90's' kid. I don't remember a lot of commercials from when I was younger, but I do know that growing up women in media were photoshopped, sculpted, and molded to be Barbie perfect.
