PSA: Misandry is Not Feminism

Image
We should all know what Misogyny is. Misogyny is the dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women. We hear this word often enough that we have a clear cut understanding of what it is. Feminism is more misunderstood. Being a feminist is often laden with baggage and associated with stereotypes. One of the more serious misunderstandings is that Feminism means you hate men or want them killed. This is not true. Feminism is the advocacy of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes. Now there are people who do hate men and think they should be killed. This is not Feminism and this is not being a 'Feminazi'. There is a proper term for this however. Misandry is the dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against men.

Blast From The Past Continued/The Art of Film Making

Image
So in digging through the videos saved on my computer I found a complete gem. A film I made when I was 13. It was shot in one take with my laptop's camera, it is 47 minutes long and was performed with Barbie's. Also the entire thing was improv. My mom was in charge of music and Rapunzel. Basically these four friends go to the middle of the forest at night to pick a pumpkin for their Halloween party. Then after four ghosts show up telling them not to pick pumpkins a vampire appears and kills one of the guys. Then the vampire fights a cat who is the guardian of the pumpkin that keeps humanity alive. The story concludes with two of the side characters dancing to Joker music with a cameo of an Orca. That is just a brief summary. I just got done watching and I am still processing what I just saw. I mean, what was 13 year old me thinking? It was made with such purpose and concentration. I was very serious about my art. Unfortunately I can't post my film here because I accide...

Blast From The Past

Oh God Why Am I Like This? Why did I decide to re-read some of my old posts and listen to this horrid monstrosity. This song plays when a demon rises from hell . Why?! I found it in my post "I Am Questioning Everything" Listening to it again was a mistake. Update: 4/26/19      5:11 pm I'm going to listen to it again. I am trying to mentally prepare myself for it because I know this is a bad idea. See you on the other side... 5:13 pm At 23 seconds in I had to stop it, I got to uncomfortable. The song was suffocating me like being smothered in hell's liquid sin. It is 5:17 and I am going back in. 5:18 pm This comment on the video sums up things well: Begone foul demon Cotton Eyed Joe, Thy grasp here faded a long time ago, From whence did you come, there you shall go, I seal thee away now, Cotton Eyed Joe. Please God make it stop. 5:20 pm It has stopped, and I am free

Look Guys I Made A Drawing In Paint!

Look I made my imaginary initials in Paint! You know what this means? I can make my own cute little visuals if Google Images doesn't have what I need! (It has happened before) Not that there will be many of these because I overestimated my skills and this is very low quality. But I made it! Want to see some random pictures I have saved on my Computer? No pictures of me (Sorry), but some random pics nonetheless. Please keep in mind I have had this laptop since middle school so not all of this reflects current me. These are all just pictures on my laptop, no rhyme or reason. Paint Drawing  Not even my cat A picture of my hometown square  There is this awesome website weavesilk.com  where you can make pretty stuff like this  I don't really like my real name so I take lots of "What Should Your Name Really Be?" type of quizzes. This is from a "What Was Your Name In A Past Life?" quiz.  I made a little snowflake   http://weave...

Now That Break Is Over I Eat Like Garbage Again.

Image
Tabitha Catherine Peering Out of Her Natural Habitat (circa 2019, colorized) Over Winter Break I actually managed to start eating healthier. I wasn't as interested in hot dogs, PB&J, and Ramen. I started eating more fish, produce, and in general eating less processed meats. As well as seriously cutting down my carb intake. I also drank more water. Things were really looking up, I was also happier and started doing more activities that I used to enjoy (I enjoyed things again! Yayyy!) Then school started again... Today was my eighth day back and I am already eating like garbage and no longer finding fulfillment in activities I used to enjoy. Am I depressed? Nah... Anyway school has been complete nooglarkishnagin I couldn't think of a word so I made one up. I do not even know how to encompass all the stress, anger, anxiety, and emptiness that school gives me into words. Maybe a blog wasn't my best decision, I think I've always had a hard t...

Oikos Yogurt Is After Me (Or YouTube Is After Me)

Image
So I posted my ' Why Are Yogurt Ads Primarily Aimed At Women ?' In it, a question and a satirical ad script. I posted it and thought nothing of it. It's not like my blog is famous or influental. I occasionally post something to spit out my thoughts. I know I don't have a big audience and the fact that I rarely post probably adds to that. (Get it? Adds, Ads. Heh heh. Well I thought it was funny) Then YouTube starts showing me ads for Oikos Yogurt . Specifically the Protein version. The ads are all like "Official Yogurt of the NFL" and has all these guys and girls enjoying yogurt. Here is the ad . However, there is one line in particular that strikes me: "Prove the doubters wrong" I know this isn't being aimed at me specifically but honestly it's weird that this ad with this line starts playing on my YouTube just a while after I posted that. At first I wasn't even paying attention to the ads. Sure there's a yogurt ad playin...
