  Cancel culture is looked down upon by adults who think it crosses lines and mocked by teens who would agree with the piece “The Word Police” because those are the kind of teens who want to be able to say the ‘f’ slur and other condescending terms as a joke. To be on the side opposing cancel culture mostly means wanting to cancel, cancel culture. Nevertheless, even with the best of intentions sprouting from fear for teens who could be brought into an unhealthy mental health status, those who want to get rid of cancel culture stand on the same side as people who think homophobic slurs are a good nickname for their buddies. People who are not ashamed, and think being called out for it is “liberal” or refer to me as the “word police” or claim that cancel culture is too much and “people can change”. Just because something can be ‘too much’ does not mean it is wrong.       There’s a reason cancel culture was such a big hit and was seen as an effective way to ...

Yes, I go by both names, because would you go by Ma if your name was Maddie?                Having two last names is something Americans cannot comprehend. This is why it is always a 50% shot that my ...

Contradictions At Their Finest

     From condescending, to contradicting, to sarcastic, this article covering the many perspectives of "conservative men" and their opinions on how to raise a daughter is good for creating a truly depressing giggle and slightly disgusted face.  https://www.theonion.com/conservative-men-explain-how-they-are-raising-daughters-1851043337      Starting with a sarcastic tone, this article begins by harping about the tragedies of receiving a daughter instead of a son as if it was the 1600s and fathers, who are the main subject, have anything truly valuable to give to their ‘heirs’. Let’s talk about how outdated this idea is by seeing how it can be portrayed in modern terms. Slide nine refers to the importance of teaching daughters that “women are the property of their husbands” but do not fret, because we do live in a modernized world after all.  Women can also “be strong. Like a Ford F-150”. Irony who? This sentence is as ironic as what ended up happe...
