10 Things I Hate About You – Feminist Commentary and Review

Yes spoilers. Deal with it. First and foremost, I have to acknowledge that I'm biased. Incredibly biased. This film oozes nostalgia for me, and all I wanted to be growing up was Cat (does anyone actually want to be Bianca? lol). Anyway, I watched this film on a big screen for the first time last [...]

Little Women Book Review

Admittedly, I saw the recent movie first. I know, I know. I shouldn’t have. But be that as it may, here we are. I wanted to like this book. I really did. I think my problem though is that it literally feels like two separate books to me from parts one to two. Like... what [...]

Walk Update

See this is the bind shit like this puts women in. On the one hand I don’t want to feel like I have to change my route. He’s the one out of line, not me, and I like my near exact three mile loop. But if I don’t change it up then that man (and [...]

“Sexy as Shit and Delicious”

So, I went on my normal approximately 3 mile walk today because it was 55°F out, overcast, and quite lovely. Along this normal route I sometimes see people in their yards—sometimes the same people sometimes not. Today a man decided to call me “sexy as shit and delicious.” I was wearing a baggy sweatshirt and [...]

Little Women Movie Review [Yes Spoilers]

So overall, this movie was entertaining, but I did feel myself thinking it saccharine at times. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the relationship between Joe and Lauri/Teddy develop. I appreciated the statements about women's place in society, but sometimes I felt like they could have been more subtle. It grated me that Joe's family complained of [...]

I can’t sleep

I've been getting back in touch with myself and it's a good thing. It has involved changing how I dress, act, speak, wear my makeup--- everything. so as to be more authentic. I know there's a time to be professional but I'm becoming much more comfortable expressing myself and not hiding who I really am--- [...]

Mansplaining Explained by a Woman

Ah, being man-splained. Read this post only if you understand what male privilege is ... if not, you'll have to do your own research or wait until I make a male privilege post. lol I was asked recently to explain what I think man-splaining is... and here you go. Mansplaining is something men do to [...]

Choosing not to have children

It's a choice. A free choice. I've seen so much garbage floating around the internet lately about women's choices, particularly regarding children. This here is one such article that spews garbage, focusing on how people who love their pets are showing their "indifference" to man. On the contrary, I think if you show indifference to [...]

Imposter Syndrome

I received an award today, and at the dinner right before I was about to go up, I felt a bout of imposter syndrome take over me.  Do I really deserve this? The award recognized me for mentoring other women and promoting gender equality.  I believe that I do these things, but in my moment [...]
