I thought that I had this whole feminism thing out of my system, but apparently I don’t. There are still things cropping up that are bothering me. Shortly before I made the first post live, I realized that I hadn’t talked about the feminist double-standard I’ve been seeing regarding beauty.…
I woke up this morning and for some reason, my first thoughts were of anger towards feminism. I’m not sure if my anger is correctly directed, if it’s a few bad apples spoiling the bunch, or what it is, but no matter what it is, I feel a serious need…
I was happy to see the news that gay marriage became legal. I think that’s a great thing. If human beings who are of legal age and love each other want to get connected by paperwork, they should have the right to do it. I have never understood why it…
The recently revamped Etsy rules have made national news, and many of the articles reference a post on the forums that now has over 1100 comments in it. What’s sad is that what started out as people being worried about what they could and couldn’t sell, and trying to get…
Okay, so there’s a whole lot of controversy rising up about Etsy’s rule regarding claims on products. It’s gotten so much attention that there are articles on sites from Patheos Pagan to The Washington Post to Gizmodo. If you haven’t heard anything about it yet, I’d be surprised. In a…
The absolute bombing of Kirk Cameron’s film “Saving Christmas” is such big news that even I heard about it. I went and watched the trailer for it. Actually, I couldn’t even watch the whole thing. It was pretty apparent why this movie was such a failure. After seeing the…
I was watching an episode of Supernatural, and it started off with a person who’d just been in an eating contest. It got me to thinking about all the eating contests that take place all over the US, and in other places around the world. I have a huge problem…
We live in an unprecedented time in history, where we have the ability to connect to more people than ever, but, at the same time, we are also more disconnected from each other than we have ever been. Even when people thousands of miles away are as near as an…
Take a look around, ad you’ll quickly see that there’s a lot of hate and fighting in the world. There’s a war on drugs, gangs, terrorism, and women. There’s hate and fighting between races, religions, genders and people in general. We’re tearing each other and our society apart. We need…
There seem to be a million organizations out there fighting for equality. Equal rights for gays, for women, for Latinos, for the disabled, for trans-people, for the learning impaired, and the list goes on. I have to say, I’m 100% all for equality. I believe there should be equal rights…
Abortion is one of those things that I have a serious problem with. I don’t like the idea of eliminating a life before it has a chance, and on the other hand I have seen plenty of cases where it’s a necessary medical treatment. I don’t think that it should…
I can’t remember where or when, but I read a story once about true strength. A young boy, his older brother and their father went to a video game store. The little boy wanted a pink controller and a “girly” video game. The father immediately said that he couldn’t have…
Extremists come in many colors, flavors (mmm .. chocolate), creeds, origins and types but they all have many things in common. Whether their particular type of extremist view is vegan, atheism, christianity, islam, wicca, pro-life, or whatever ignorant hate spewing view is popular this week, they all do the same…
So, by now I’m sure everyone is aware that the stories about Robin Williams’ death aren’t a hoax, he really is gone from this world. It seems that he was suffering deep depression and committed suicide. Not surprisingly, there are a lot of feelings from people about this issue. It’s…
