These HPV vaccine commercials are haunting me. I’m all for preventive health measures, but something about this vaccine doesn’t sit well with me.
Probably because as soon as it came out there was so much push for every parent to “do it, do it, get your daughter vaccinated, hey we should make this mandatory.”
It’s just unsettling.

About 6 or 7 years ago I was shopping at a store and I noticed a man following me. I turned around and could see that he was trying to get my attention.
“Yes” I asked him, and he proceeded to give me the old “whats your name, what’s your number” song and dance.
I told him “no thank you” and went about my business.
“Oh, you are one of them“, he shouted.
“Excuse me?” I said.
“You are those women huh? You think you are too good. I hate women like you. UGLY, just UGLY” he shouted.
I was so shocked that I could do was laugh. I couldn’t believe that saying no could make someone so angry.

“Men are depressed and it’s their own fault because men are allowing women to take over the world.” - Marc Rudov, Talk Radio Host
Imagine replacing “men” and “women” with different racial groups and having that quote air on TV. I wonder how that would fly.
Is sexism the last publicly acceptable form of discrimination?
This video has me seriously thinking the answer is yes.
It’s sad then even women are dishing out the sexist remarks. There’s no other group in the world that gets points for partaking in their own marginalization.

I hope that I’m not one of those parents who pushes their dreams onto their children. I don’t want to be one of those parents who says, “be like me, only better”. Unfortunately, when the time comes, that will probably be my motto.
I imagine my children growing up to start their own businesses or managing one that I already own. I imagine that they’ll be independent, assertive, and free thinking entrepreneurs.
But what if they aren’t? What if they have no entrepreneurial spirit whatsoever and decide their dream is to rule corporate America.
If that’s the case, then my job will be to prepare them for a life in the corporate world.
Things surely will have changed by then, but will they have changed so much that instead of preparing them for interviews, internships, and networking; I’ll be preparing them for plastic surgery, teeth whitening, and fashion trends?
I’m not trying to criticize, but honestly, this is one of the strangest things I’ve ever read.

I’ve been doing a lot of religious reading lately, but I always have to put it on hold when I come across materials that imply that women who want to be treated with respect are the reason that the world has gone crazy.
They say that feminism has ruined society because it takes women out of their natural roles, and thus there has been a domino effect that has caused the world to be doomed. If you really want to follow God’s will, you must dismiss all these sinful ideas.
Oh really?
Here’s how I see it.
