50 Chick-Flicks to watch this summer!

Hi. Miss me?

No you didn’t. It’s been a week. You didn’t even remember.

I did remember though. You’re so lucky, you weird fuckers.

Kay. The list.

Warning: If you have testicles, please go away. You won’t like this. Unless you like it. Then you’ll like it. Did that make sense? No? Meh.

Moving on.

(This list is NOT in any particular order!)

(Also, as with last time, scroll to the bottom if you want the quick list)

1.   Christmassy mush:

Every truly good list of movies-for-girls needs chick-flicks. Like this is a given. We aren’t debating it. Here are some of my favorites (I pick favorites on the basis of how many tissues are used. The first one finished half a box, basically):

·    Miracle on 34^th Street, is a movie for everyone, and impossible to hate, because it literally proves the existence of Santa. In court. Color me fabulous.

·    Home Alone & Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, are by far, two of the cutest, most hilarious and generally awesome Christmas movies ever made. I mean, this kid:

Don’t you just wanna steal him away? I do. God. SO CUTE.

·    Rise of the Guardians, featuring Chris Pine, Alec Baldwin, Hugh Jackman and Isla Fisher, is fun, cute and has literally the most badass Easter Bunny you’ll ever see. Also the main character, Jack Frost has ice powers, and Else from Frozen has ice powers, so the Internet did this: (Jack Frost & Elsa)

I really just love the Internet sometimes.

2.   Makeover!!! :D

Everyone likes a good makeover. Everyone was a fairy godmother to find us, pay a shit ton of money and convert us into this:

Since that isn't happening anytime soon, we’re going to settle for these movies of kick-ass bitches who turn out to be hot, get the guy and take over the world. Presenting:

·    Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality and Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous (the sequel does NOT suck, and Sandra Bullock is an undercover FBI agent who participates in the Miss World contest. Miss World. Oh yeah. This is the good stuff.)

·    Anne Hathaway in Princess Diaries and Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (this sequel doesn’t suck either, and it has Chris Pine, who looks edible. Edible, I swear.) See?

I promise, you will rewind and replay this scene until people think you’re crazy. Which I did. My mother hasn’t gotten over it. ._.

·    Julia Roberts as Pretty Woman is the single longest series of “aw” moments ever made – mentioned this in my last post already, so like if you haven’t read that already, go! (<shameless self-advertising) If you don’t believe me when I say Pretty Woman is practically legendary in its awesomeness, I don’t care, because Emma Watson does agree:

·    Hilary Duff in A  Cinderella Story is a Cinderella movie. With a really fucking hot Prince Charming. What more do you need?

Every time I look at this I’m like, “Oh pretty, pretty Chad Michael Murray. May I touch your face?”

3.   High School & College

Can there ever be enough of these? We’re the right age, the sexy, shirtless boys are the right age, and there’s enough necking to keep us happy even though we’re perpetually single – like me. All the time. I’ve given up.

ANYHOW:

·    Legally Blonde, in which we learn that Reese Witherspoon is not a (completely) annoying bitch we all want to smack, that she's smart enough to get into Harvard Law and that she has impeccable taste in men. Watch it for the girl power!

·     Mean Girls. Let’s face it – this is the anthem of the girl nation. This is LiLo’s legacy to us. This is us, in all our dirty, bitchy, horrid glory.

·    She’s The Man, because no matter how many crappy bathroom nudes Amanda Bynes posts on Instagram, I will love her forever, just for this. Won’t you?

·    Easy A, because Emma Stone is stunning and quirky and fun and dresses in trashy lingerie for the whole movie. And she does it with swag:

I love how the jock in the right totally looks like, “Dat ass tho.”

·    Bend it like Beckham, because Indian girls can be total fucking badasses too. And sometimes, we get the boy, not Keira Knightley. Watch this for INDIAN girl power!

4.   Movies I haven’t watched, (and will never watch) but apparently need to be included, so okay:

·    The Notebook (ugh)

·    The Fault in our Stars (I am a dedicated nerdfighter, and subscribe to nearly everything vlogbrothers do. But people die in this movie, and they don’t even get beheaded or mauled by dragons or burnt at stake. They just…. die.  What?)

·    Endless Love (2014), and the only possible encouragement to watch this movie would be Alex Pettyfer. More on him later.

·    Forgetting Sarah Marshall, warnings for Marshall from HIMYM’s dick. No, I’m not kidding. No he wasn’t even wearing a sock. Or so I’m told.

5.   Married Ever After!

·    Made of Honor, because best friends can fall in love too, right? And because Patrick Dempsey - Dr. McDreamy from Grey's Anatomy, remember? We don’t need no more reasons, people.

·    Bride Wars, because you watched Princess Diaries, and you’ve realized you always need more Anne Hathaway in your life. Also because every girl needs her BFF to get through minor life crises.

  

·    27 Dresses, if you liked the Ugly Truth, you’ll love this one, where Katherine Heigl is adorably romantic, been a bridesmaid for 27 weddings (hence the name), still single and faces the “ugly truth” again in the form of a sexily scruffy James Marsden.

There. I just gave you the scene of the movie you will fall in love with.

·    What Happens in Vegas is completely disgusting, but it has Ashton Kutcher so he makes it look cute, and it has Cameron Diaz, so she makes it look sexy, and that’s, yeah, that’s pretty much it.

Oh and they get drunk-married in Vegas. I didn’t mention that? Oops.

6.   And now, just a list of random, uncategorized chick-flicks:

·    The Devil wears Prada, mentioned in my last post, so like go read it, already!

·    Julie & Julia, not for the boys or the sexiness or the girl power, but because I finished watching this movie with a ridiculously huge smile, and we honestly need more movies like this. Also because Meryl Streep and Amy Adams are adorkable.

·    Freaky Friday, because back before Lindsay was getting high, and getting her pretty face fucked up, she actually made some pretty great movies. This was one. Watch it for the mom-daughter bonding mush.

·    Step Up, because Channing Tatum is one SEXY motherfucker. See?

But no other reasons, except incredibly cool choreo and sexy sweetness.

Also, if you’d like another dance movie, that actually manages to have a beautiful plot, check out Save the Last Dance, because ballet meets street once again, and does it gracefully, and without any glaring clichés.

·    Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, because it’s funny and sexy and cute and if you tell me you aren’t half in love with Matthew McConaughey, you’re obviously in denial, and I don’t believe you for a second.

·    Pursuit of Happyness, and this isn’t even a chick-flick! Just that Will and Jaden Smith are by far the cutest father-son on-screen duo. Also because I cried fucking bucketloads.

LOOK. SEE. WERE YOU EVER THIS CUTE? NO.

·    The Lake House, featuring Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves is the single most angsty, super-emotional heart-breakingly wonderful movie ever and please keep several tissue boxes at hand, okay?

·    Just Like Heaven, proves yet again that we shouldn’t smack Reese Witherspoon, and actually ought to be mostly in love with her, because this movie will slowly break your heart and then put it back together because Mark Ruffalo. So cute.

(My sentences aren’t even sentences. My English teachers would be so disappointed.)(Basically, Mark Ruffalo falls in love with the spirit of the girl haunting his apartment. AND IT SO CUTE YOU GON’ DIE.)

·    Beastly, and I know this movie was just one messy, monstrous cliché, (see what I did there?) but they made Beauty and the Beast into a movie and made Alex Pettyfer shirtless for large parts of it. What’s not to like?

And if you’re like, “Alex who?”, then Alex this:

I am a kind and giving Goddess.

Worship me.

…me and Alex Pettyfer abs. Possibly doing fun things together. *sigh

·    Definitely, Maybe, because in the competition of awesome movie dads, Ryan Reynolds comes up pretty high. Also because Abigail Breslin is precocious (which is a nice way of saying total smartass)

Also because Ryan knows exactly how falling in love is done. And he does it well.

·    The Proposal, because see how I just said Ryan knows how to fall in love? I meant it.

Also Sandra Bullock in The Proposal is everything I’ll probably be in 10 years, and I’d like to get a Ryan Reynolds too, thanks.

·    Okay you guys. Here’s the thing. While other people are like, "Jennifer Lawrence! Megan Fox! Jennifer Aniston even!", I have old-school crushes. I love Audrey Hepburn and Julia Roberts, and yes, even Angelina Jolie.

So these are Julia’s bests:

    o  My Best Friend’s Wedding

    o  Runaway Bride, with Richard Gere (the same guy from Pretty Woman)(they’re lucky for each other)(THEY LOOK SO GOOD TOGETHER GOD)

    o  Notting Hill, with Hugh Grant (British men are the best, okay? No competition.)

·    Two Weeks Notice, because once you watch Notting Hill and The Proposal you need Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock and OH LOOK! They’re in this completely fabulous movie TOGETHER! WATCH IT!

·    The Ugly Truth, because most men are assholes, and this is the ultimate guide to (most) men. And it works. Honest.

Also, because Katherine Heigl is ridiculously cute and Gerard Butler is the sexiest beast to walk this planet.

·    He’s Just Not That Into You, because, you know, there’s a shit ton of sappy, cheesy mush in this list, but sometimes, sometimes your crush being a dick is not because he ‘secretly’ likes you. Sometimes, he’s just not that into you. Worth the watch, even if you only watch it for a half-naked Bradley Cooper.

·    Life as we Know It, featuring the incredibly delicious Josh Duhamel, opposite, yes, again, Katherine Heigl, has really cute kids! And Notebook-level angst! And two incredibly hot people who fall in love and it’s fabulous, okay?

Also, We Both Know by Gavin DeGraw and Colbie Caillat features in the soundtrack and if you wanna check out a beautiful dreamix version, click here!

And if you’re wondering who Josh Duhamel is, here, I’ll be nice to you:

·    Confessions of a Shopaholic, is basically the story of a really well-dressed girl who couldn’t afford to be that well-dressed and somewhere along the way met a hot British guy, and they fell in love. I don’t care much about that part.

What I care about is this:

I shit you not, I would kill baby animals to have her wardrobe.

·    Pride and Prejudice, because KEIRA KNIGHTLEY.

I didn’t need any other reasons.

She’s funny, and spunky and kind of a spaz and Mr. Darcy is dreamy, and everything about the movie is just heart-wrenchingly pretty and English and it’s just really fun to watch.

·    Friends with Benefits, features Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. You see the title? Yeah, that’s pretty much self-explanatory, right? Good. Now stare at them:

Now go watch the movie. Go armed with Kleenex.

·    I’ve reviewed two Channing Tatum movies so far – GI Joe and Step Up, and I frankly admit, those two are purely to stare at him move.

This one isn’t.

I’ve watched The Vow four times so far and I’ve realized, if Nicholas Sparks wrote it, and Channing Tatum acted in it, it’s bound to be beyond perfect.

The Vow will destroy your heart, and you won’t mind anyway.

Oh, and watch Dear John too. I haven’t watched it, but I’ve heard some very good things about it.

·    (500) Days of Summer, is the single greatest example of beautiful, sensible, honest filmmaking I have ever come across. Featuring Joseph Gordon-Levitt (inception, The Lookout, 10 things I hate about you) and Zooey Deschanel, nominated for Golden Globes for Best Picture and Best Actor, 500 is the kind of story that actually happens to people like you and me.

Where you fall in love and then sometimes you fall OUT of love, and most movies don’t have the guts to show that love doesn’t always work out.

Watch 500, because when you have your next break up, you’ll (maybe) know how to deal a little better.

·    The funny thing about Serendipity is that, with Jack Cusack and (pre-Underworld) Kate Beckinsale, it hasn’t got any hot people, it’s hardly new, they barely meet for half the movie, but I still love it.

It’s got… Oh I don’t know, a kind of old-school perfection about it? It’s tugs at all the right heartstrings and if I am going to wrap up this list, I can’t think of a perfect-er way to do it.

Here’s the quick list:

1.   Miracle on 34^th street

2.   Home alone

3.   Home alone 2: Lost in new york

4.   Rise of the guardians

5.   Miss congeniality

100 MOVIES OF SUMMER

Hey y'all.

It's been a while., hasn't it?

First off, a little catching up:

The Review Project: Are y'all still into that? It got a pretty good repsonse (Nearly 200 views in all, so far), but if you want me to go on, I may start a kind of poll or something - fully anonymous, so let me know what you guys want, and I'll go with that.

The Loud Project: Next up is a copy of Taylor Swift's Red album cover. No promises for when cause my schedule is so full, it stopped being funny a long time ago.

Okay, that seems to be it. On with the show.

Summer's here! What a bitch, right?

Anyway, Ramadeen Kareem to everyone, and honestly, to all of you guys who're gonna be fasting this summer, you bitches be hardcore, man. Respect.

Still, now you have all this time, and nothign to do. And movies, well, movies are always an option right? Here's another of my crazy lists:

100 of the GREATEST SUMMER MOVIES EVER:

Kinda important note: If you don't actually wanna read the whole thing, a bare list is there if you scroll all the way down. Still this is the fun version so, you know, take your pick.

Summer Movies = not too much plot, hell of a lot of fun, and some crazy hot boys (and girls. Angelina Jolie, yum).

1.    All the Marvel movies ever made (Avengers, Iron Man, CApt. America, Thor)

(Except Edward Norton as Hulk (2008). What as absolute fucking disaster.)

2.    James Bond movies. Especially the ones with Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig. Not because they're pretty (though they are *drool), but okay. This happens pretty often:

Aaaaaaand this blog is officially not PG anymore. (Not that it ever was, but still.)

Anyway, check out Die Another Day, Golden Eye, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace.

3.    Despicable Me & Ice Age & Madagascar & Shrek

Yes they're animated, and honestly? okay, honestly? I do not give a fuck how you're too macho or "cool" or whatever you are to not watch it, okay? FUCKIN WATCH IT. ...I'm such a bully. :s

4.    Independence Day

I'll admit, the CGI is just shit, but, okay, WILL SMITH BATTLES ALIENS PILOTING A SPACESHIP. 'Nuff said.

5.    Indiana Jones Trilogy, bitches!

You thought James Bond was smooth? Awww, that's cute. ....no. This guy was all leather and whips before that pansy-ass bitch Christian Grey became popular. Indiana Jones is a GOD, okay?

So hot you barely notice the man purse. ("IT'S A SATCHEL!") (speaking of which, go watch Hangover, because you're a teenager, and life is awesome.)

5 and 1/2: Lara Croft Trilogy - Why? Because she's the female Indiana Jones. Also because Daniel Craig. Also because treasure hunts and hidden treasures and general kick-ass-ness.

6.    Armageddon, because SHIT. BLOWS. UP. (It's a Michael Bay movie, by the way. You know, the guy who made Transformers? Yeah. Him.)

Also because Ben Affleck is really fucking hot.

God, such pretty lips. (WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME UGH!!!)

Also, if you liked Armageddon, then The Day After Tomorrow because, like Armageddon, the world almost ends, which is always fun to watch, and, like Armageddon, it has that one hot guy you drool over - here, that's Jake Gyllenhaal.

7.    Ted, because you watched all the Hangover movies (and all the American Pie movies) and now you need more pervy crap.

8.    Sherlock Holmes, because Cumberbatch won't be here for another 2 years and we need to make do with Robert Downey Jr. Also, because Robert Downey Jr.

9.    Wanted, because you watched Lara Croft and now you need more Angelina Jolie. Also, James McAvoy and Morgan Freeman. Who kill other people, because that's just how they roll. It's awesome.

If you liked Lara Croft and Wanted, go ahead and watch Salt, because Angelina Jolie is a Russian spy, and wears a trenchcoat. Also, this happens:

Angie's all like, "Jeez, this bitch again. Die." So good.

10.   The Matrix, because it's got mind-bending (LITERALLY) science-fiction, the slickest superhero ever, and lots of people in black leather trenchcoats. Cause let's face it. Trenchcoats are always a sign of good things to come.

The Matrix is a trilogy, but seriously, watch the first movie and then let it go. I don't know what the director was smoking, but I'm pretty sure his dealer took a piss in it, because the sequels suck so bad, they broke my heart.

If you liked the Matrix, or if sci-fi is your thing, go watch Tom Cruise's Minority Report, where there's crazy murders, an evil government, and the best kind of one-man fight for freedom. Be warned for massively insane plotlines and a crazy AU.

11.   Pretty Woman, because this is closest thing I have ever seen to a Cinderella story, and it makes me cry every single time. Also because the lovin' will set your panties on fire. Not for the boys though, sorry.

If you liked Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, be sure to check out Notting Hill, because Hugh Grant and Jules makes the most adorable couple ever. Also because it's kind of a reverse Cinderella story, and Grant is adorkable.

AND, if you like Hugh Grant in Notting Hill, you'll probably love him in Two Weeks Notice opposite Sandra Bullock.

AND, (I'm on a roll now) if you liked TWN, go watch Sandra and Keanu Reeves (the Matrix guy) in the MOST ADORABLE MOVIE OF ALL TIME: "The Lake House".

AND, The Proposal because it's wonderful and dorky and cute and Ryan Reynolds has an amazing butt.

Kay, back to non-sappy movies.

12.    The Ocean's Series and Fast & Furious, because holy shit, how slick are these guys? Two of the best heist franchises I've ever seen (Avoid F&F3:Tokyo Drift, because there has never been a worse movie ever. EVER. )

If you like any of the movies from these two franchises, check out Inside Man featuring Denzel Washington and Clive Owen, as well as Bank Job featuring Jason Statham. Another amazing heist movie is The Italian Job, featuring Mark Wahlberg, Jason Statham and Charlize Theron.

Also, if you're as in love with Jason Statham as I am, check out the Transporter Trilogy, The Mechanic and the Crank series.

If, on the other hand, you just want a good heist/racing movie, then check out Nicholas Cage in Gone in 60 Seconds, and Death Race 1, with, yet again, Jason Statham. I'm in love, whatcha gonna do about it? Huh? HUH?

13.   Terminator, because Arnold Schwarzenegger. Also because okay, machines have feelings too, you heartless bitches. Also because I managed to spell Schwarzenegger.

Real Steel, and look, I know Rotten Tomatoes gave it a shit rating, and I know I'm biased because it has Hugh Jackman, but man, I've seen this movie 4 times now, and I still find it awesome and adorable and totally kick-ass, so it's got something beyond Jackman's triceps going for it okay. It has this:

See that kid? Yeah. That kid is the best thing to happen to cinema in a long while. You watch the movie for that kid, and you're golden, mate.

If you liked Real Steel, I, Robot is pretty much a slam-dunk for you; equal amounts of metallic badassness and robots-have-feelings-too mush. Oh, and Will Smith. That man has the best smile ever.

14.   Every single Christopher Nolan Movie ever made.

·                The Prestige (Dhoom 3 was basically a bad rip-off)

·                Memento (Ghajini was basically a non-sucky rip-off)

·                Inception

·                The Batman trilogy (he gave you Anne Hathaway in a leather catsuit. You owe this man.)

·                Coming soon: Interstellar (Link to teaser trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WzHXI5HizQ)

15.   The Wolf of Wall Street, because Leo didn't get an Oscar (again), but he sure as hell deserved one.

Can I just mention here: Even though a lot of people have been whinging about how DiCaprio deserved an Oscar and didn't get one for Wolf and blippity-blah-blah, the real movie where he deserved an Oscar was long, long ago: Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can features Leo as a cocky twenty-something who, disguising himself as a pilot, scammed Pan America Airlines of millions of dollars and managed to travel the globe too - for free.

16.   Die Hard series, because Rambo is too old, and The Expendables is too fucking stupid, and Bruce Willis is the ultimate BAMF.

If you liked Die Hard, check out Liam Neeson's Taken, for more father-daughter sappiness, and older men kicking some serious ass.

17.   Now You See Me, because Jesse Eisenberg is the most fabulous bitch to have ever lived, and Dave Franco is heart-breakingly pretty. Also, because it kinda reminded me of The Prestige and Inception and Ocean's Eleven all rolled into one, so if you liked any of those, you like this even more. Also, um, there's Morgan Freeman and Micheal Caine, so if that means anything to you then... yeah. GO WATCH IT.

18.   The Silence of the Lambs, because if you don't Hannibal Lecter will eat your fuckin' tongue. "With a nice Chianti and some fava beans." Hannibal, as played by Anthony Hopkins Jr. was rated as the greatest villain of all time and with good reason people. Don't watch it alone, kay?

19.   The Devil Wears Prada, because dude, you'll be an intern soon, and no matter how much your boss will suck, it can't get any more worse than Anne Hathaway's situation. Also, because like pretty dresses!!!! :D

20.   G. I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra, because I've been in love with Channing Tatum since I was 11, and I haven't gotten over it. But honestly, not any other reasons. Sorry.

21.   The Bourne series, because, no matter how popular Mission IMpossible becomes and how often "The name's Bond. James Bond.", is repeated, Matt Damon as James Bourne is hands-down, pants-off the best spy thriller series ever made.

Also, because this blog needs more Johnny Depp (all good things in life are better with Johnny Depp) go watch The Tourist, if you're not already sick of Angelina Jolie. Also kick-ass, but mostly adorable, and just incredibly sexy, and cute and happy, and okay, do you see how much I like this movie? It's got the FBI and CIA and Interpol, and all I could say the whole time while watching it was, "Awwwwwwww." Seriously, girls, go watch it.

22.Knight and Day, because Tom Cruise is like fine wine; he gets sexier with age. Also because holy macraoni, Diaz in a bikini! Best thing 2012 gave me:

Life is good, man. Life is real good.

And if need some more Diaz in your life, check out Charlie's Angels from 2003, which actually does not suck. Much.

On the other hand, Tom Cruise has a lot to offer besides Mission Impossible - if you're into sci-fi (and even if you're not) check out Minority Report, Oblivion and Edge of Tomorrow.

And if you're not into sci-fi but still want some Tom Cruise action, you could try the 1986 classic Top Gun, or the movie quoted most often in the hit TV show Suits, Jerry McGuire. ("Show me the money!", remember?)

23.   For some of the best duos in Hollywood,

·         Starsky and Hutch, with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson

·         Shanghai Knights, with Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan

·         Rush Hour Trilogy with Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker

·         21 Jump Street, with Channing Tatum (!!!!!) and Jonah Hill

·         22 Jump Street, which is surprisingly enough, just as good as the first

Well that's it. I know there's only 24 bullets, but that's a list of 100 KICKASS SUMMER MOVIES.

That Annoying Phenomenon called Feminism

I hate feminists.

Yes, I'm a woman. 

Yes, I realize this is somewhat hypocritical.

Do I give a fuck? Um, NO. 

Cause I feminists piss me the fuck off.

I don't get the whole liberalization thing. I mean, yes, I'm glad women can vote and own property and drive cars ...in most parts of the world anyway. I'm all for that. Go suffrage! Women in the army! Whoop di doo! 

The rebels, the ones who dare, who choose their causes and who fight for women's rights - those feminists I can appreciate, I can admire, I can aspire to.

Then there's the other kind - the "we're-feminists-when-it's-convenient" kind. They're the kind who really need to pull the giant stick out of theirs and stop bitching about how terrible men are.

You will meet this kind of girl, boys, and eventually you'll go bald from pulling your hair out a little too often. Don't fucking whine when it happens. Don't tell anyone you didn't have warning. Because this girl, this conveniently feminist chick, she's testing you. All the time.

Don't fall for it. Especially when, after a dinner date, she says we'll split the bill. Pay half and half each. Minefield, right there. She doesn't wanna pay the bill. She doesn't want to show you her wallet. Ever. Period. 

She's testing you. This would be the right time you insist that Father taught you a "man" always picks up the tab. That may just end up being the sum total of your function in the relationship. Paying the bill. Also, carrying the bags, opening the door, and saying please, thank you and, most importantly, sorry. Sorry will happen pretty fucking often.

The Indian feminist is occasionally even more annoying, because we have so much more to rebel against. Seriously. We've got arranged marriages. Sex before marriage. Kids before marriage. Divorce. Being a single parent. Being unmarried. Oh the horror of being unmarried. 

Yeesh. You'd think we'd leaked nuclear codes the way adults fret about it.

Being a feminist is right, but only when it's called for (and this is the lesson that a lot of women seem to forget when attending empowerment seminars). 

Getting married instead of getting a job is not anti-feminist.

Adjusting your habits for the men in your life is not anti-feminist.

Being a girl, and I mean a I-kinda-really-like-pink, I-fucking-love-ball gowns, I-wanna-get-my-nails-done kind of girl is not anti-feminist.

Dammit, I don't get it. What is wrong with the women of this generation? Being a girl is okay! 

Being shallow and silly and gay is alright! Just as much as you're allowed to put all of that on a back burner, dedicate yourself to your job and become a CEO in a Fortune 500 company. 

Being a girly-girl is okay!

You don't need to be insecure about shit like that! What you need to get insecure about it ridiculing others for the choices they make. We're allowed to make choices. We're allowed to be what we want. If that's being a tomboy or fucking Nicki Minaj, it's UP TO US. And no one, I mean NO ONE, has the right to ridicule that. 

You think being a mom, a daughter, a sister, a wife is not a full-time job?

You think the only measure of your success is your degree, you job title, your club memberships?

You're wrong.

If you think your mother has ever had it "easy", handling your incessant demands, you have WAY too fucking big of an ego and I ain't even talking to you anymore, lady. Fuck off.

I know the name Rose Kennedy. She was a mother.

I know the name Eleanor Roosevelt. She was a wife.

I know the name Priyanka Gandhi. She is a daughter.

I know these names and I respect these women. These women had great men in their lives. They stood by them. They could have achieved greatness in their own right. They could have been corporate leaders like Indira Nooyi and Christine Lagarde. They could have been politicians like Hillary Clinton and Condolezza Rice and Sonia Gandhi. They could have owned that blinding white spotlight. 

They didn't though. They made a choice. To be mothers. Wives. Sisters. Daughters. 

To shape a new generation of leaders and writers and businessmen and soldiers. To keep the house warm and the meals hot. To be that ready, willing shoulder for you to lean on every time you needed them.

And I respect them. 

I respect them too.
