feminism
At its core, feminism is the simple conviction that women are equal to men in every regard, and should be treated as such.
To the Woman Who Ever Felt Less Than Amazing
Honestly, when I started this article, I had no idea what I was going to write about. I just knew that it needed to be something inspirational. I’ve seen too many posts by women lately who are struggling or fighting against life.

How Is This My Fault?
This is a constant battle back and forth; one neither side can win. At the moment, it's just women yelling at a brick wall as men don't really have a decent argument. But, we actually do. Women want to be heard, which is understandable. They want change and a way to tip the scales to be equal. I mean, this is my pure, unadulterated non-rage version. I don't like what feminism has become so I'm going to focus on the message it was supposed to have. Here is my defence for all the men out there constantly in a battle to the death with a dragon that doesn't understand four words. Four simple words. ITS NOT OUR FAULT.

Am I a Feminist?
I’ve been struggling a lot lately with the idea of feminism. How do I, as a female that truly embraces my own femininity, identify with this movement? More feminist movements begin to surface themselves in my day-to-day life within my city and cities around the nation. Information, both fair and biased, is made easily accessible by various websites and social media platforms. And yet, the more I see regarding the current state of the feminist movement, the more hesitant I become to connect on a personal level.

Play Our Way or Get Out: Hollywood’s Persistent Message to Women
I have a problem with female reboots. I have a problem with reboots and remakes and adaptations anyway—especially in the video game category, where quality is compromised for dollar signs—but I particularly find issue with female-led reboots. They fundamentally send the wrong message to women in Hollywood, and to girls the world over.

Requirements
Being a woman comes with a certain amount of "requirements" in a way. You're required to spend a lot of time making sure your make-up is perfect for every occasion, you're required to wear nice dresses and heels for every occasion to make sure you look good to everybody there, but probably most importantly, you're required to be a feminist and make sure the rest of the world is too.

Finding Feminism in Film
It is easy to find feminist characters in everything, but even though this is the twenty-first century, the movies are hardly ever centered around them, and when they are, the messages often go unnoticed or shamed and criticized. This made choosing a movie hard because I could spend hours writing about a real-life story that would most likely bore most of you. So instead, I am going to take one of the most popular series, Pitch Perfect, and strip all jokes, music, and drama away to really look at the characters that many of us have been watching since 2012.

Why Feminism Is Still Important to Me in 2018
Allow me to paint you a picture—you walk down endless aisles of children's toys, shelves laden with white Barbie dolls, fake pastel makeup, and toy kitchens, tell me—what might your young daughter consider about herself? What would a WOC and her child consider about themselves? I imagine the interpretations would be entirely different, and it's that perception of difference between us which is why I need modern feminism.

Things Women Should Stop Saying to Each Other IMMEDIATELY. Top Story - April 2018.
OK, I’m just going to put this out there, I am guilty of most of these at some point or another in my life, and I’m pretty sure most of the girls I know are too, but that doesn’t make it OK. I noticed a couple of years ago how toxic some of my friendships with my girlfriends were. We compete, we compare, we bitch, we moan, we attention seek.

12 Things a Woman Doesn't Have to Be
A woman doesn’t have to be a lady. Cuss. Uncross your legs if it’s uncomfortable. Wear what you want, when you want. Your clothes don't determine your worth, your mouth doesn't reflect your grace, and your posture doesn't determine your mindset.
