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…
I was reading an article about how women typically pay more for products even though they’re often absolutely identical to the male versions. It’s true, I’ve seen it myself, and a lot of people don’t think about it, but they probably should. I have noticed more times than I can…
There’s been a lot of talk lately about the gender inequality in toys that are currently on the market. parents want better toys for their daughters with less stereotyping, and they want toys for their sons that go beyond typical gender roles. I’m all for that, but it seems that…
In another email I got today they were talking about how Ugandan newspapers are now outing gay, bi and trans people. This is horrible to begin with, but what’s worse is that in Uganda and other places in the world it’s actually illegal to not be heterosexual and you can…
I can vaguely remember when the whole “gay thing” became an issue. Everyone knew that homosexuality had been around probably as long as people had, but it started to be something that was in the news as people decided that they were tired of being “in the closet” and started…
I have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that in this day and age people still haven’t learned to accept the LGBT community. Gay and differently oriented people have always existed and always will. We know now that it’s not a matter of “sin”, it’s either how…
I get emails for all sorts of causes that I’m involved in, and the one I just read concerning equal rights for girls made me once again wonder, how can gender equality still be an issue? People have been on this planet for thousands of years. We have learned and…
Someone just commented on my article about gender stereotypes in toys and it got me to thinking about how ridiculous the whole idea is anyway. It has always been strange to me that there are “woman things” and “man things”. Let me try to explain. “Cooking is woman’s work!” “Hair…
After finding out that the Human Rights Campaign doesn’t actually fight for human rights, I started thinking more about the things that I’ve been supporting. In case you didn’t catch it, there has been a lot of anger among people after realizing that the HRC, while flaunting it’s pro-gay agenda,…
The last couple of years have been quite disturbing to me. The current war on women has got me feeling like the country, and maybe the world, is going backwards instead of forwards. I don’t understand it. Why is there this war on women? The government and large corporations are…
*Be forewarned, this is going to be a long piece.* I’ve been doing a lot of soul-searching in the last year, and a great deal more in the last few weeks. I’ve been making leaps and bounds in my personal development too, but there’s something that has been a major…
I can’t count the number of times that I have seen or heard stupidity over colors being related to specific genders “blue is for boys, pink is for girls”, and the nonsense that color choices have anything to do with your sexuality. The really stupid thing is that if a…
The current war on women has got me thinking about a lot of the issues that women face. One that has been a problem for a long time is the idea that a woman’s prime purpose in life is to bear children. Men can do and be anything, but any…
