feminism
At its core, feminism is the simple conviction that women are equal to men in every regard, and should be treated as such.

Remember Who You Are. "We build our own garden. We sow the seeds and nourish the leaves. Plant yourself within the soil, rooted in your authenticity. Shower yourself with praise, love and adoration. See your worth. Know your value. And know that any who try to take your voice are not doing it for your own good but for theirs. Never make it easy for them, rage against their tyranny. They fear us, you see. They fear the power of the feminine."
LOVE IS SERIES . 🌹Published 3 years ago in VivaHas Feminism Become Toxic?
The short answer is yes. Over the years feminism, which once was a righteous fight for basic opportunities and rights for women. Has become an excuse to both demoralize women and demonize men. Yet mainstream media bends over backwards in order to portray this new feminism as a righteous fight that needs to be pushed even further because women are becoming more and more oppressed by the evil men who have all the power and privilege. You see so much news coverage and social media comments gushing over our woman this and that in our government, but only in the Democratic party. Any woman this or that within the Republican party is undermined and ignored, but that is a completely different topic altogether. The fact is the media acts like women need to continue to persevere in a society that only rewards men. On top of that women are pressured by music, art, and social media to show off their bodies and do provocative things in order to persevere against men. Basically women should be free to show everything without fear of being shamed. And if you dare to shame them you are a misogynist. Misogyny is a word that is being thrown around to the point where the meaning have become soft. Less severe. Less meaningful. When a word that should hold weight has become weightless that should be a red flag. Yet if you say something you risk being shunned. This problem I am seeing with feminism matters to me because I am a woman who cares about people of all walks of life. Another reason why this issue that I am seeing matters to me is because I bought into a lot of it.

The days of women sufferings have come to last few laps in our society but it's always the last stains that are the most stubborn. 19th century saw the rise of feminism from the french word "féminisme" but it was the 20th century this word gained traction in the global liberal world.

About six months ago, I wrote a short confessional article about a friend I drove to the grocery store, and I missed the point of that entire experience. Recently, I've started reading Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot by Mikki Kendall, and I achieved some clarity about where the feminist movement really needs to divert its attention.

I think it's time to talk about this. Primarily because of April 24th. I know it's passed but, the fact that people have considered that particular "national day" to be a joke, it's time we bring out statistics and discuss the nitty-gritty.

About two years ago, I won a short-story contest in my city. They gave me some cash, a nice diploma, and they included my story in an anthology. In it, in big, bold letters, you can read my name and, right under it, the words “First Place.”
I Just Wanted a Glass of Wine, Hold the Stalker Vibes
It was a Friday night in September, and I was just getting off a long day of work, at the barber shop. I was covered in other people's hair, and exhausted in every way, shape and form from standing on my feet and listening to strangers problems for eight hours straight. All I wanted to do was put on some sweats, open a bottle of wine, and snuggle up on the couch with my pup, while watching The Golden Girls.

Retail manager may seem menial to most but to me it is a career in the making. I have not necessarily suffered hardships and oppression but I have suffered from ageism and sexism in regards to my title. This post is meant to shed some light on the thoughts and feelings of one young woman in a leadership role; myself.

Dear All Women, I know you have spent your whole life in a society that tells you that you are less. You are vain for being pretty, and wasting all that time yet you are disgusting for not altering your body so that it pleases their eyes. You’re stuck up for your intelligence and dumb for not thinking it through. You’re prudish for your modesty and slutty for revealing your flesh. It really doesn’t matter what you do, we are always less.

Dear Button, It’s funny, knowing how close we are now, to look back at the first words I ever said to you—or rather, about you. Mom had just brought you home from the hospital and set you on the couch in your carrier next to me. The moment she left the room, I pushed you—carrier and all—off the couch. When she rushed in, wondering why the baby was now on the ground crying, I angrily replied, “I don’t like it. Take it back.”
