Unfair...

We watched this really amazing video called, "Killing us Softly". I absolutely loved this speech. Not only the way she presented it, but the things she talked about were so relevant to today's society, that you couldn't help but agree.
Women in today's society are so exploited and under appreciated that I think that is why men think they should treat us like badly. Maybe society is the reason why so many women get raped, abused, or sexually harassed.
I really hate that we are looked so down upon in society, yet we are expected to do all of these different things in our lives perfectly. In today's world women are expected to have an unrealistic body structure, perfect hair, boobs, and butt. This is ridiculous. If this is how the world is going to be then it should be equal between men and women.
The fact that men can be disgustingly gross and overweight, but women have to be skinny little big boobed bimbos is completely unfair.

That's really all I want to say right now, even though I could go on for days. =]

We are all the Same

A while ago we read a story called "How it Feels to be Colored Me." I really enjoyed this story. It was about how a girl comes to realize that there is other color than her own. I really liked the text in this story. It had deep meaning to it.
Even though this girl was realizing that she was colored in all these hard ways, it never once got her down. Personally, I think that I would be really hurt by the things that people said to me, or the way people treated me. I don't know how she could sit there and look at the bright side of everything.
Also in the story the girl takes chances on doing things that are considered wrong. Things such as waving to white people, or talking to them. Back then, it was frowned upon for black people to even look at white people. So for her to do that it was a chance.
In the end of the story she talks about how we are all the same in different ways. Even though that is somewhat ironic, it's true. Although we might look different on the outside, we were all made from the same person, and the with the same amount of love.
