All Women are Real Women

I'm sure we've all heard the phrase "real women" somewhere, it's been claimed by so many different kinds of women and if you asked different people their definitions of it I'm sure it would change drastically. There is no one type of woman that qualifies as a "real woman" because all women are real women! How cool is that!! Thin women, chubby women, women who wear makeup and dress up, women who go natural and wear really casual clothes, women who are trans*!!! THEY'RE ALL WOMEN. Don't call out women on not being real women, that's called being a jerk. (The same rules also apply to men for anyone who might comment about "real men").

Duck Dynasty Controversy

This is so stupid everyone calm down. This whole Duck Dynasty thing is so stupid from so many angles. Phil Robertson, the man who started it all, shouldn't have said something so stupid. Granted he was stating his beliefs, he really should've thought through it first! Also GQ shouldn't have even published the quote, they had to have known this whole thing would create some stupid huge controversy. The fact that he got fired from the show is also A&E really trying to say "Oh we're cool with gay people!!!! We're so cool with gay people!!! Look at how excepting we are!!!" As a Queer person myself, I don't think I've ever seen a show on A&E that had anything even in the remotest thing to do with the Queer community in general. And now it's just become another case of the "gay agenda" shutting down the rights of "red-blooded god-fearing Americans". (The gay agenda is actually that we want to make pizza and flannel shirts openly accessible to all LGBTQ people)((that was a joke haha)). Again eVERYONE NEEDS TO JUST GET ALONG CALM DOWN. This whole controversy is so dumb.

Holiday Time of Year

This is my favorite time of the year, because the holidays are so much fun and so cheerful! Everything is so warm and I feel like everyone's in better spirits this time of year (maybe it's because we get two weeks off of school). However there is one thing I reeeeeally dislike about this time of year, is that some people believe Christmas is under attack. My dad "watches" fox news (he really just turns it on and no one really watches it) and around this time of year everyone on there starts getting super worked up about how their christianity and faith are being tested because when they leave Target the cashier says happy holidays. My view on the issue is that these whiny fox news reporters really need to get over themselves. It's not that you're being oppressed, it's that other religions/holidays are being accepted and are being recognized. Because god forbid anyone dare try to become equal with straight white christian men, god those minorities are so oppressive. (I hope you can feel the amount of sarcasm I put into that sentence). Really, everyone needs to just get along. If we all would just take a second and remember that we're all people, everything would be okay.
