Stranger Danger

Hallllllo!
Today I’m going to chat about something a little weird.

So. Today I was shopping at walmart… About 11 PM, in a little bit rougher part of town. Usually, I am no fear, all piss and vinegar. You can’t usually knock me down. Well, today as I walked in a police officer stopped me. He said, “Ma’am, are you shopping with your husband today?” “Uh, no. I’m not married.” I said as I showed him my ringless finger. The officer then said “Ma’am, I don’t advise you to shop alone here, miss. Especially like that.” “Uh? I’m confused. Why’s that?” I replied, taken aback. (I mean, I 5’8 and curvy and I was wearing a tank top and maxi skirt. But seriously? Nothing attractive going on here) And the officer leaned in and whispered, “Well, this isn’t really a safe environment for young women like you. You might want to choose somewhere a little different than here. Some men here may not be able to control themselves because of your appearance” Okay, HOLD UP. I’m not any more attractive than any other woman in that store, but since I was wearing a lower cut shirt and skirt, he was legitimately WORRIED FOR MY SAFETY. I’m so sorry if you disagree but HOLY CRAP. HOW IS IT THAT WE CAN ALLOW THIS. I shouldn’t have people fretting over my safety because apparently some men can’t handle themselves. Guh.

Anyone else have some thoughts on this?

Well, thanks for letting me vent!

Cheers loves,

Not Your Average Feminism Post

Might as well start right out of the gates with something pretty controversial. So, here we go. Modern day feminism. Let’s chat about it…

Well, when most people think about feminism or equal gender rights, you visualize the ladies back in the day with their wide skirts picketing around for rights to wear “knickers” or whatever term pleases you. That’s not quite what I want to talk about. Yes, that’s an extremely important part of society today (for my American readers), don’t get me wrong. However, today some women just overdo it. I can’t stand perusing social networks and seeing women throw fits about being able to wear bra’s and not having to simply because of “equal gender rights”. Are you serious. if you’re one of the feminists, and have stumbled upon my blog, PLEASE, I know how great it feels to not wear a bra around the house, but around other people it’s just kind of gross. No one wants to see your ladies just flopping around out there. From one lady to another, do us all a favor and cover up.

However, on that tangent, I’ll also drop a wisdom dating bomb on ya:
If you find a guy you like, or just that you want to date, that in no way gives you the right to treat him like your ATM. Yes, he can buy things for you, IF HE CHOOSES, not if you call him and say “Buy this for me”. You don’t have the right to treat him like he HAS to treat you all the time. If you really like him, treat him as so, not like he’s only money to you.

Till we blog again—

Cheers,
