Celebrate a New Week with Gender Equality

          Happy Monday, everyone! Pride month is drawing to a close, but it's been a pretty great one this year. I know that Mondays are kinda rough for some people, so I'm cheering you all up with a cool comic that perfectly embodies the true spirit of gender equality. 
          Here's the link to the original imgur page, but I'm also including the image below. It's kinda big, but it's worth the read.
          Remember, sexism isn't a "men's issue" or a "women's issue". Sexism affects everyone negatively, although I do have to admit that women have it kinda worse. (Femicide, anyone?) However, the stereotypes that claim that men always have to be interested in the same things, act the same way, and not express emotion are ridiculous and incredibly harmful. All in all, I agree with the message of this image- Sexism will not be overcome until both women and men can recognize it as a serious issue that hurts both groups, and work together.
          Have a great and world-improving week!

 

Update: I can't seem to get the image to be at a good size for reading that doesn't fall out of my post, so you can either zoom in your browser to view it here, or view the original on imgur. If anyone knows how to fix the issue, please shoot me a comment to let me know! Blogger needs to add some more features...

The Three most Damaging Words to a Little Boy

          Hello, readers!
          Today I have something directed at the guys out there... Have you ever been told anything like "man up!", "grow some balls," or "boys don't cry"? Chances are, the answer is yes. Sadly, society at large has decided that masculinity means being buff, tough, and never showing emotion. I can't imagine having to go through life like that. Guys should be allowed to be sensitive or emotional as they see fit, and the gender stereotypes in our world are extraordinarily limiting. Most people view females as the most oppressed by society and the media, but here is a great video about how our culture and its screwed up standards of masculinity can damage guys so much.
