IT'S OUR WORLD

"Those shoes are certainly beautiful and match with the bag. But they must have cost a fortune." I say this kind of thing to myself probably every Sunday. By the way, I attend a very elite church, one that you'll have no need for a catalogue to get fashion ideas once you step into. That aside, back to my thought. Maybe because I envision a lot and I'm constantly always engaging my mind in several conversations, I have such thoughts about fashion and being girly, which I'm struggling to be so good at. But every time I look at the shoes and the bags and the jumpsuits and the human hair and the flawless makeup, I always ask myself again "Do you know the source?" "Can you afford it now ?"         Alright, let's get started with the essence of writing this blogpost that has been on my mind for weeks now. First, I am not lazy. Second, I am hardworking. I know they mean basically the same thing, but yea, let's pretend they a...

#WeShouldAllBeFeminists  This is a sequel to the first post on  #WeShouldAllBeFeminists . I was criticized after I wrote the post, it went online first on Facebook, and then I brought it here. I had to overcome procrastination to write a sequel.

However, lots of women are overdoing FEMINISM. The same set of women who are advocating for feminism as extremists, are also the very same set that believe women should be treated with preference. Sounds familiar? Of course. Many women want to be preferentially treated, yet...

I had always kicked against the word ‘feminism’ and always liked to dissociate myself from the conversation. I just couldn’t draw the margin between a misandrist (a person who dislikes, despises, or is strongly prejudiced against men) and a feminist (someone who believes in feminism - the advocacy of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes). Recently, I had a conversation with my project supervisor and he asked what I would like to do after school. I told him and he was quick to call me a feminist. Now, that wasn’t quite complimentary to me. I mean, I felt he did not understand me. I hated to be called a feminist. I argued with him and told him how I quite understand men (I’m not sure I do) and why I think calling myself a feminist wouldn’t be representative of by my repertoire (a stock of skills or types of behavior that a person habitually uses). I even went on to tell him about what I think should be done by couples and so on. It got me thinking. It ...
