Christina the Egalitarian

 In a world where equality is championed and pressure to conform to traditional gender roles is increasingly questioned, why do we still cling to outdated traditions when it comes to marriage proposals? The stereotype is that men traditionally propose to women, but that Leap Day, once every four years, is when the women can propose to the men... but really, is that not an extremely outdated tradition? It's 2024- us ladies can propose to a man any day we like.... why should female proposals be limited to one day every 4 years? It's ridiculous that leap days are supposedly the one time women can propose to men. Let's break free from that limited thinking- we can propose any day we want. It shouldn't be a 'taboo' for a woman to propose to a man outside of a Leap Day. Likewise, a man can still propose to a woman if he wishes to on a leap day (even though that's viewed as *the* day for a woman to propose).... by treating Leap Days as 'role reversal' days,

Hello all- this is an egalitarian blog where I try to advocate for equality, so what I want to discuss today is something that often gets overlooked, sometimes people flippantly dismiss it and say that it doesn't exist. Misandry (this will be an ongoing blog post where I'll constantly be updating it with new examples regularly) People deny that it exists, but it does. If you call out this misandry, people may label you as a misogynist. Calling out misandry doesn't make you a misogynist- both misandry and misogyny are issues worth tackling. This will be a controversial one I know, but it shouldn't be- this is just being against sexism, no matter what direction it comes from. Sexism isn't a one-way street- it happens both ways. For those who don't know what misandry is, it's being prejudiced towards or hating on men, so a misandrist is somebody who (like a misogynist) demonises a whole subset of people on the basis of their gender. And just like how us ladies

Hi all, I'm Christina and welcome to this blog! This is my first post that I'm going to making here and it's something of a critical post, about the societal pressures/expectations that women face, especially within the beauty industry. This is an ongoing blog post- even once I've finished and posted the first draft, I'll be constantly adding new examples if I can find them. Semantics  We live in a world where beauty standards have been ingrained into society for years, especially within the beauty/cosmetics industries, so much so that when a woman doesn’t wear makeup, it’s viewed as “brave”…simply for being barefaced.  As a woman who isn’t drawn to makeup at all and never has been, the use of the word “brave” in this context frustrates me to no end. Being bare-faced shouldn’t automatically qualify as an act of bravery, because that’s just somebody’s natural face…. I really don’t understand how somebody choosing not to add extra chemicals to their face is brave. Mos
