The (NOT SO) Skinny Girl

And the author then follows that headline with "Ladies, before you angrily dismiss me, hear me out...You don’t have to have a brain, drive or special skill set to get married. You just have to have a willing partner." 1st of all, I just want to note that an equal amount of MEN commented on this article as women did.  Here's my thoughts.... "You just have to have a willing partner"... sounds like what they say about sex now-a-days...  Getting married IS an accomplishment, it means you accomplished putting aside all of your selfishness and insecurities to be really real with someone - to care about them as much as (or more than) you care about yourself.  It means you've learned to work together on all things, you've learned to share secrets with them, you've learned there are no more secrets, you've learned to make JOINT everything- life goals, decisions, plans, accounts.  You have bettered yourself and another by being together ...

There's a birth control company who is giving discounts on birth control with the promo code DONALDTRUMP. That is true- I went to their site and put it in and they accepted it. Funny part about that is the site only sells CA, NY, DC and WA , and they are the states with the most affordable healthcare and birth control. They also all voted for Hillary. Coincidence? So I gave my 2 cents. And I will post every retort I had to give to the internet trolls who don't seem to understand my stance on this. HERE WE GO: ORIGINAL POST: If people don't have access to healthcare (including birth control) it's because of the current state of the healthcare system, and the government not making big pharmaceutical companies charge affordable prices for products. that being said. Reproduct ive rights start with your right to make a decision way before another life is involved. another life meaning a sex partner, and also a fetus. Such as your decision to have or not to have unprotecte...

Headlines: Arkansas just took a giant leap backward with LGBTQ rights: same-sex parents will no longer be able to be listed on their kids' birth certificates. My opinion- THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LGBTQ RIGHTS.  LGBTQ are making mountains out of mole hills again. **SIDE NOTE- Take a look at Italy's laws about adopion, surrogacy, in vitro, etc. WAY stricter than here.** What rights are being violated here? Really- the rights of the unknowing child (if anyone's) are being violated because they are being lied to from the moment they are born.  From my point of view- this should be supported as a scientifically backed move for informational purposes.  How are we supposed to track things like genetic defects, genetically linked diseases, hereditary issues, cancers??  I had to go through all sorts of cancer screenings because my adoptive mother had breast cancer and its hereditary, and in turn they missed screening me for all the issues my biological ...

If you didn't know... I have all of the above....piercings, tattoos, and dyed hair. I have been told multiple times over the years that your employers do not have to hire you for ANY reason and that can fire you at will. For anything. Literally, anything. it's called "being willfully employed". This post is based on a statement made in a video labeled " It's time to end the stigma around body piercings (via ATTN:)."  https://socialfeed.info/it-s-time-to-end-the-stigma-around-body-piercings-via-attn-12560740 The general gist of the statement that I got is that "Employees should be judged on performance, not appearance" and at the same time that "piercings reflect individuality, not professionalism". Wait, what?! I find this pieced together statement to be contradictory. And it proves what is wrong with this narrative. So, let me get this straight- don't judge me by how I look, go out on a limb and pay me for a few weeks and t...

So the trigger meme: "Millenials pay all the bills people in 1995 did- plus cell/internet, plus rent/food costs x2, plus student loans, with no increase in wages." #the struggle is real  #millenial problems Here we go again. #1 comment that pissed me off:  If I had a dime for every time a baby boomer said millennials are lazy, I could buy a house in the economy they ruined for us. My response... True millennials are lazy. The ones that mooch off their parents- don't pay for their own rent and health insurance and food- while working one menial job post graduation and whining that they don't have all the things the world has to offer. And then you have the ones who happen to fall into the age group pf "Millennial" who work 2 or 3 jobs, rent a modest place, go without internet in their home and use free WiFi when they need it, shop around to get the best deal on a cell phone carrier, buy a second hand car for half the payment of a brand new lease. Al...

It's kind of funny when people tell you not to complain or worry or have an opinion or -worst of all- do something I hate the phrase "you wouldn't understand....". It's usually followed by something generalized or judgemental that the person has no clue how it affects you (and truthfully probably doesn't care). You wouldn't understand, you're white. You wouldn't understand, you're skinny. You wouldn't understand, you have a college degree. You wouldn't understand, you have money. You wouldn't understand you're not a wife/parent/or any other designation. And ya know it's actually hurtful... Because you're assuming I'm not HUMAN- that I don't CARE. That I don't have that basic human compassion for others in me. You assume I don't have feelings or can't understand complex human interactions or thoughts. All sorts of assuming. And after assuming how I think or feel, what I am or am not... You th...
