There is a secret little term that is sneaking up on boys, and men. Its only three words but these words are probably the worst three words in all of the english language. Be A Man You might say why are these words so bad? It is not the three words necessarily that are bad but what follows them. Be a man is telling men and boys to be Violent, in charge, smart, and have not to many emotions. If a boy is at all like a girl they are teased for it, shamed into hiding there emotions and hobbys if they have to do with anything that a stereotypically girly. But then you ask what does girly mean. I am not actually sure. Check an older post to find my thinking on that question. Everyday boys see they have to be muscular and have control, and be this dashing hero. They eat up and process all of these feelings and thoughts but aren't aloud to show them for the fear of being called emotional or dorky. The strongest lessons we teach are the ones we don't tell. In a class i take this girl was showering a boy with comments saying that he was so girly and that in the play he would be a girl cause of how he dressed and talked. I just didn't get it, kids started to join saying he had to man up. The teachers never said anything! I guess they agreed that he was to girly and needed to "Man Up"
Most people i think don't actually process that boys also need saving in the patriarchy. Of course girls need saving, but what people don't understand is that while woman are supposed to be cooking and cleaning, men are supposed to be playing football, picking up chicks, and being the boss. And the boys and men who don't live up to that are weak, wimpy, geeky, annoying, and un attractive. Where did all of these stereotypes come from? There is a great film that has just came out called "The mask you live in" by the Miss Representation. It is a documentary about a teacher that asked all of the boys in his class feelings they wish they could show or something they never told anyone. The results were interesting. You should check it out. -Lulu OK. Let's make this clear, and get it out of the way. Being a Feminist does not, I repeat DOES NOT make you a man hater, ugly, hysterical, or a lesbian. Being a Feminist just means that you believe in gender equality. The other day, my friend said something like this....... I'm not a feminist, but everyone should have equal rights. And I was like, that is feminism! You are a feminist, and she got all offended and walked away. Feminism sounds like it's only for females, but that's because mainly girls and women are affected by sexism, but boys and men can be affected by sexism too. That means that feminism is for girls AND boys. Now, doesn't feminism sound much better? Comment down below and say if you're a feminist or not. Anyway, hope you all have a wonderful day.
Until next time, Mar-Mar 1. Buffy The Vampire SlayerThis great 1990's show is the perfect TV show to curl up on a snowy/rainy day. Buffy is a teenage-young adult, she was born with the burden of being the vampire slayer. Only one is born after each die... Don't worry this is not like twilight or any mooshy vampire love story. Its action packed, and filled with demons, vampires, monsters, and un normal activity. Its just the perfect amount of creepy, funny, and just lovable. Watch yourself fall in love with the characters.2. Malcom in the MiddleThis great early 2000's show is like the show you watched when you were 12 years old, but it is really a family show. You can laugh and smile at this beautifully hilarious show. Malcom and his crazy brothers always seem to find their self getting into some kind of trouble. He has a crazy controlling mother and a funky embarrassing dad. Its just the kind of show you have to love. 3. The librariansIts every sunday night at 8:00, so you might not be able to watch it on your snow day, But it is a good show to watch. There is a library that can hold all the magical beings from books and what not like the holly grail. It is all about the librarians and gardians of this magical library. They go on adventures and find them selfs in sticky situations. This sounds like you would find this on Disney or PBS Kids, but it is on TNT and actually can focus on very important issues going on in the world. Yes it is Fantasy but perfect to watch sipping hot cocoa, and watching the snow/rain fall.

There are many different kinds of people in the world but when it comes to teenagers, there should be more diversity than just cliques. If you are lucky than you do not have the so called cliques in your school. But i did. Wait i am going off topic So back to the subject, My normal working habitat is messy. My room in general is messy but my desk in my opinion is probably the most. My working space is also pretty much all me. My desk i spray painted, the collage i made, and everything else is junk i use... sometimes. I believe a lot of girls my age have messy rooms. Don't lie you know its true. I am sorry boys i don't know if your rooms are messy or not. My Bedroom/Habitat/Work space A slide show so click the bottom pics Whoops there is my finger :)
Hey every one,
I was just wondering if you would like me to make a weekly comic or illustration? If you do please state in the comments. If this gets at least 5 comments saying yes then on valentines day (Tomorrow) I will post a comic or illustration. Please remember to comment for that post every week. Since we are getting into the valentines day spirit i decided to speak about 1 billion rising. You might be thinking what is 1 billion rising and why is it so important? For a start 1 billion rising is a corporation that stands up for women's rights. 1 billion rising every valentines day will set up flash mobs all over the world. At schools, parks, outside of train stations, everywhere possible. The dance is supposed to bring awareness to women's rights and anyone can do the dance. If you search 1 billion rising flash mob millions of results pop up. They have even managed to dance in Pakistan, Afghanistan and India. Girls and boys all over the world younger than me are doing this dance in school or in there towns. Please if you can join the dance i will link a video to teach you the dance below
The dance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WufjSyE_rK8 How to do the dance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRU1xmBwUeA Filmed at the Brooklyn High School of the Arts in one of the senior classes So speak up and visit the 1 Billion Rising site, if you want try and find a flash mob near you -Lulu The Problems with their TV Shows
