Introduction

Welcome to my crazy feminist blog! This is just a thing that I really think we're in need of right now. Feminism had some big milestones in 2016. We got some more Rey toys for Star Wars, there was a Ghostbuster's reboot starring women... ohhh yeah and it was the first time a woman actually ran for president in a major political party! And no matter who you voted for and what the outcome of the election was... it was still a really big deal!

I decided to start this blog because I wasn't happy with the outcome of the election. This is probably the most I will talk about politics on this blog... unless I think it is absolutely relevant. Okay... might be kind of a lie... I'll probably discuss Meryl Streep's acceptance speech at the Golden Globes because I think that is a powerful example of something women can be doing... and I will probably do a news segment. Basically... if there is something important to talk about that I feel well qualified to talk about, I will talk about it.

This will probably mostly be Pop Culture based feminism because that is kind of what I like and where I think I can help the most. I think I'll have a news segment, book reviews... maybe some history lessons. I have a post on why women shouldn't be catcalled coming up that was actually the first thing I wrote for this blog. I'll have a Thank You letter to iconic women... there's going to be a lot of stuff. Also it's not just about women, equality in general is a major win so... that will probably be included in here. And if I just think something is worth mentioning that a woman did or that I think women could relate to maybe better than men... I'll write that too. It's not just going to be all rants, all reviews or all one thing in general... it's going to be about a lot of things... so feel free to read and not read any parts you want!

This won't be a daily post either... this will likely be 2-3 times a week. I can't do a 3rd daily blog... just can't do it!

May the Force Be With all of the nasty women out there! And maybe some nasty men? If you're a guy reading this comment "I'm a Nasty Man" if you're nice and like the blog. If you don't like the blog, explain to me why my rights are not equal to yours!

Peace!

Why Catcalling Isn't Okay, and Why It's Okay Not To Like It

Today I went to the grocery store with my mom and grandmother and while we were checking out, some older man says “Ohhhh, Nice! Young Lady! Have Mercy," to me! I was really pissed!  The thing about catcalling though is that a lot of people kind of make it seem like its less of a big deal than it is and that women should be okay with it… And no one should have to be okay with being catcalled. Here are my reasons:   I wasn’t asking for it  A lot of times people shrug it off and say something like “Well if you dress like that you’re just asking for it.” Nope… I was wearing a sweater… a mock turtleneck actually, jeans, and a large peacoat. This isn’t any different than how I normally dress. I shouldn’t have to modify my dress for my safety… also I’m not sure how I could exactly be wearing anything more reserved. It’s a striped sweater with a slouchy turtleneck… I definitely wasn’t asking for it.  I was wearing makeup… but that’s another thing I do every da...

Feminish Reviews- 13 Reasons Why (TV Show) *Spoilers*

I thought that the Netflix series based on the book 13 Reasons Why did a great job of showing a lot of different problems that are hard to deal with for girls or for parents... and there were some very disturbing scenes that I believe critics have been insulted by...but I thought it was a good series with a lot of good character development and multi-layered characters... which is a word I think I just made up- but that's something refreshing to see in a teen drama. I've never been through a lot of the stuff that Hannah has been through in the show... but they still made her very relatable. The feeling she has that no one likes her- that is a very real thing that I've thought of often... the paranoia that everyone is looking at her and laughing at her... that is very real. All of her little joys but then in the end no one was listening to her and she couldn't get the help that she needed... that's upsetting and although I haven't really been through anything l...

Feminsit Movie Review- Amelie

So in March I think I'm going to try to watch a different movie every night... and if I think there's a feminist message in it- or if it was important to pop culture for women... I'll write about it! I'll start off with Amelie. I didn't really know what this movie was about... I just knew that it was in French, I thought it looked like a love story... and from the previews it looked beautiful and interesting. And I was right... kinda. What I thought was powerful about this movie from a feminist standpoint was that, even though it was a love story... that wasn't the focus of the movie at all. The focus was mostly on a strange girl that kept to herself most of the time and had a vivid imagination... even as an adult. Although she was quiet and didn't really interact with people... Amelie is quite a strong character. If she doesn't like someone, she'll do something about it right away and create a certain sense of justice. In contrast- if she does...
