Skittles
I must say that I am a strong supporter of feminism with its intended
meaning of course: equality. I really cannot stand those who blame men
for everything. Stereotyping a gender accomplishes nothing and most
likely makes the situation worse.
I really do enjoy a good debate because I like to have my opinion heard.
I make my opinions known, being tactful, because I do not want to be a
doormat. Being rude and using excessive profanity reflects on a person
and almost guarantees that their opinion will not be taken seriously.
Debates usually prove to be a learning experience, another reason for my
fondness of them.
There are some who may say, "If you don't have anything nice to say,
don't say it at all," but there is nothing wrong with some constructive
criticism. One of my friends, whom I have known for several years, is in
a relationship, one filled with numerous problems. She is aware of the
fact that I do not care for him, which I suppose is why she does not
inform me of what is going on anymore. However, I formed this opinion
based on the fact that she spends a great deal of time complaining about
him and listing all of the bad things that he has done. When I, as well
as another friend who shares my views, confronted her on this, she said
that if she tried to tell us the good things about him, we wouldn't
listen anyway. I'm not sure if this is quite hypocrisy, but this is
certainly behaviour that I have a problem with. Whenever she complains
about some new problem that has made her mad at her boyfriend, and it is
clear that she is not blameless in the situation, I try to show her how
I see the situation, fully. Personally, I do not think that these two
people work as a couple, but that is an even longer story.
I believe that people need to be independent. I find those who whine
about not being in a relationship to be irritating. Yes, being in a
good, healthy relationship is very nice, but one should not require
having a relationship in order to be happy. If you aren't happy with
yourself or your life, getting into a relationship will not be some
magic cure, and inevitably, the new significant other will be hurt in
the end. I have learned to take life as it comes and go after what I
want. I never saw the point in sitting around and waiting for a guy to
ask me out on a date. When I like someone, I take the initiative. I also
prefer to pay my own way. Above all, respect is necessary.
