Guys, it's definitely tough to be a girl (or WOMAN), but it's also something to be celebrated. I don't want to be corny, but I feel like women need to also take time to reflect on their positive qualities--we can do anything anyone else can do! We're alive! We're smart and beautiful! We have the capacity to overcome gendered oppression and are starting to do that! Yay!

 

The media scrutiny is definitely a pain, but as more women write for newspapers and mainstream magazines, make movie scripts, and produce documentaries (Miss Representation!!!) gender representations are beginning to change. Although, we're far from gender equity. It's amazing that media missteps are now being more frequently discussed though! Do you guys feel like the glass ceiling is cracking?

 

I will say that I think the biggest difficulty of being a woman is that there's practically a tax levied on us for having vaginas. I mean really. Waxing. Tampons/pads. Birth control. Even things like make-up and frequently changing fashion - men's clothes can be classic, but that's harder to pull off as women. And we're still being paid less, while to be a woman is more expensive. Do you guys agree?
