Of Promiscuity and Other Such Arbitrary Concepts

Hello Hello all you who seek my angsty rants
I am here to deliver [yippee hooray]. There are a couple things I want to rant about regarding the isolating and degrading nature of Society on Girls/Women'Female things and their personal life. I think we should just jump right into it    : )
Promiscuity-Put like any old lady would say it. Sleeping around. You get the idea. In our society, there is this huge obsession and perpetuation of sex, and who one's sleeping with, and even who they're not. As a teenage girl who is not part of this perpetuation and obsession, I can only observe and shed a tear for this horrid display of human ignorance. Unfortunately, like many things, there are great differences in the role of men in women in said obsession of sex and promiscuity.
For Men, having sex with many different women is praised by his homies, bros. His buddies, or whatever. I cannot speak from the standpoint of men, but It is my general understanding that sleeping with a lot of people is not seen as a negative thing. It's great. It's an accomplishment. The ability to bed women is a trait off that All American Masculinity that you all know is so close to my heart [eye-roll to emphasize sarcasm]. A man who has all the women fawning over him and begging him to sleep with them is a god among the male species in our culture.

Yes, the Barney Stinson we all know and love is exactly what I'm talking about (but the fact that he's played by a gay actor makes is all the more enjoyable to watch, No?). 

Please, do take note that I am not criticizing the fact that men who sleep around aren't considered to be doing something wrong by society's standards. What I am going to criticize now is that women are criticized. There's even a word for it.

"Slut-Shaming"

Isn't that just cheeky. The fact that there is a word for the act of shaming a woman for sleeping around proves my very point. and Yes- the underlining, bolding and italicizing of that sentence was completely and utterly necessary. Women are scrutinized so closely by what they wear, their makeup, their hair, their speech, their walk. everything is put under close examination because there is supposedly this hidden message about what type of male attention we are tying to attract hidden beneath our external appearance [eye-roll to emphasize annoyance]. For some reason, women are expected to be doing everything we do to impress, tease, attract, satisfy or entertain the male sex. If a Girl/Woman/Female thing wears modest clothing and is a virgin, she's a "prude". If she wears revealing clothing and plays "Hard to get", she's a tease. And if she  doesn't wear enough clothing (by society's standards), she's suddenly too much to handle, and is forever branded with the most eloquent word in the human language: "Slut". Doesn't it just taste horrible? Why do we even have words like "tease" , "Prude" and "slut"? Why do we have distinct words defining the state of a woman's personal, sexual life. C'mon people- It's Called a "personal Life" for a reason. And then there's this catty hate towards women who have been branded "Slut" with the branding iron that is American Society (ugh metaphors. so good.). Opposed to the male sex, who is praised for sleeping around, women are demeaned and so harshly judged and Slut-shamed when they show even the faintest sign of "promiscuity". 

This society really needs to make up it's mind: Is having sex with many people a good thing or a bad thing?! Tell us already! It's SO confusing because the dudes are slapping high fives, but women are so afraid of this stupid word that people so carelessly toss around. 

Ah, Susanna. Nothing can aid a good feminist rant like a quote from Girl, Interrupted. 

She makes a very good point. Not only are women called names when they display signs of "promiscuity", but it takes significantly less... activity to be branded a slut. 

I can't be the only one totally infuriated by this, can I? I hope not.

We perpetuate sex, and sensuality and provocativeness. Sexy is good. Men like it when women are dolled up and attractive, and so does society. But god forbid that a woman crossed the line between "sexy"and "Slutty" which is GOD KNOWS WHERE. And then men call women "sluts", and it's insulting, and horrible,

 and It's dreadfully confusing because calling a man a slut is an utter joke. it doesn't happen. Literally, there is NO word for the "slut" equivalent of a man. 

I'm not sure what voice you read this writing with, but right now, please read it with an "angry" voice. thanks.

So can we just STOP with the sexual labels  Can we just let people mind their sex lives and personal lives and stop Slut-Shaming every woman that, may I add, is simply acting like a "man". 

There shouldn't even be slut-shaming. it shouldn't exist. but like many other things (like gender roles and stereotypes, and LGBTQ* hate and pro-life campaigns...) it does exist, so can we just join forces like the united country we Aren't and fix it?

thanks.

Yours,

a very frustrated Girl/Woman/Thing,

Look At Me Rebelling.

Hello Hello you rebellious scoundrels.
tonight, on this friday-eve I am here to grace you with my angsty opinions. 
As a teenage girl/woman/female thing, I am literally expected to be a rolling ball of uncontrollable emotions. I am so tired of adults slapping these hyperbolic, archetypal stereotypes onto us teenage boy/girl/men/women/female/male things. For some reason, there's just this misconception that kids in our teens are each combinations of all the worst traits in adults. I'll explain now, so I don't just seem like those horrid people who complain without justification.
A teenage girl is constantly under close scrutiny. What she wears. Her makeup. Her relationships. What she does, what she doesn't do. When it comes to sex...

yes. Well put Allison. Breakfast Club Gifs always deliver.

Anyways. Everything is such a big deal. Parents, though loving, don't always understand. Adults brush off issues we have in our life because they think they are huge exaggerations budding from the teenage girl's tendency to be an emotional roller coaster that just never stops rollin'. They look at us like we're ticking time bombs, about to explode at any moment with a catastrophic BOOM of rebellion and bad pop-music.

Please. Do not think that this is me bashing adults. I'm not that angsty. I just want this "Marking" of teenagers to stop. Not every teenage girl dreams of dating a human ken doll, and spends their daddy's money on getting their hair dyed blonde.

 Contrary to popular belief, we teens are actually humans too. Yes, we may have radical-dadical ideas and dress like we're trying to bring back the 80s (which I personally am trying to do), but we're not that different from the adults passing judgement upon us. we're just younger, more beautiful and have room to wisen up. 

I apologize for focusing only on the teenage girls, when the boys have it just at bad. 

Lay off the boys. They may be immature at times, and still laugh at the same poop jokes from 2nd grade. Yes, they may wear way to much Nike, and yes, they may be clueless at how to socially interact with girls (in ways not involving poop-jokes), but teenage boys aren't the enemy. Being a teenage boy does not mean all you think about is Suzy's Mom and getting laid on friday nights. It's not about drugs, and sagging pants. Surprisingly, it's not even always about poop-jokes (Key word: surprisingly). Just like teen girls are not rolling balls of emotions, teen boys are not horny, rolling balls of hormones. The teenage population is not composed of barbie and ken dolls who want to join forces to bring down the adult world and never want to grow up.

Sorry Peter. Not today (Nice tights though).

So all I'm asking on this friday-eve is to lay of the stereotyping. We teens will someday grow up and be the age of the adults judging us now. And they'll probably be dead. It's life- what can ya' do. So let us enjoy our youth, rebellion-filled or not as the case may be. Stop scrutinizing. Start feminizing. And goodnight for now.

"That's not very lady-like"

Well too bad. I don't believe in gender roles.

I'm not going to put the word "rape" in the title...

Hello Hello humans

So, I am still cranking out these blog posts. The inspiration is still coming so savor it while it lasts, kids. 
Today was a good day. I wore My homemade tie dye shirt, smiled a lot and we're beginning a gender studies unit at school so my life has pretty much reached it's highest point. After a good day at school it feels good to sink into my bed and open up my laptop to write about a very important topic: Rape. 
I would love to rant about the pathetic excuse men give after raping a woman: "She was asking for it" "I couldn't resist myself because of her clothing". Oh, how I'd love to say that anyone who would accept such a loaded excuse for raping a woman in court is obviously deluded and should NOT be making decisions with such a bade sense of judgement. But I won't. I'm holding my tongue. 
No, I am here to talk about this huge misconception that only women are raped.  I know my past few post may come off as a bit... man-hate-ish, but contrary to popular belief, I am not a man-loathing feminism who goes around throwing copies of The Feminine Mystique and The Second Sex at people (Late New Year's Resolution: Stop throwing books at people). In fact, I'm quite in love with the supporting-men part of feminism because I'm in this for the equality and men should not be expected to be inhumanly stolid and "manly".
And with that I'll begin my rant. When a woman says she was raped by a man, it is a horrific thing. So why is it that if a teenage boy says that when he was younger he was raped by his female babysitter people often laugh and ask why he thinks that is such a bad thing. It's called "getting lucky" when a boy/man/male thing has any sort of sexual experience. It angers me so so so much that men are seen as these strong, burly creatures driven solely by sexual desire. This whole idea that men shouldn't show weakness and that a sign of greatness is the ability to bed women has bubbled over and gone too far. The very idea of refusing sex, or saying "No" to a woman's advances is disgustingly taboo. It's fine when a woman says she was violated, and taken advantage of, but god forbid a Man says he was violated. Is he not a man? How can he say he violated after having sex? The pressure on men to be these unrealistic lumberjack characters, with a wardrobe filled with plaid and rough, unshaven faces who can charm the ladies with a wink of their eye is grotesque discrimination of the male sex. We need to break down this barrier around men that society has created- stopping them from feeling free to be emotional and display feminine traits. There's nothing wrong with crying. there's nothing wrong with expressing emotions. And there's definitely NOTHING wrong about a man saying he was raped by a woman. People forget that the definition of rape is not just sex without consent from the woman. Someone's sex should not determine whether or not they're aloud to feel violated when they're raped. 
So please stop trying to turn every guy into a stone-cold lumberjack with the beard of a Viking, the body of the Hulk, and Morgan Freeman's voice. There should be just as much variation in the types of men as there are in women. 

Sleep tight and don't let the gender roles bite ♡

Why I went into highschool with high hopes

Hello Hello.
Before I begin writing, I would like to say that I have begun school again so... I might be more inconsistant with my posts. But I'll try my best. Also, I promise not to watch too much Netflix and forget about my blog (note to self: just because the Breakfast Club is on Netflix does NOT mean you have to watch it everyday). But with school comes great stress, and my stress relief is writing, so who knows. this just might work out. Oh, and I don't really go out on the weekends so... yeah. The first dance of the school year is coming up this saturday and I'm excited to announce that I will be spending it tucked under my comforter, a cup of tea in my hand, the familiar warmth of my laptop on my stomach, typing away on my blog. So look foreword to that. Exciting times [yippee]. 

Down to business- considering that it is 10:30 and I do enjoy sleep. When I was growing up, my pre-highschool self was obsessed with the idea of highschool. I spent my homeworkless hours watching shows like That's So Raven, and Wizards Of Waverley Place, and the other stupid shows that Disney used to brainwash me into thinking highschool was easier that junior high. Hahaha NO. I would sit in front of my computer, just like I am now, and eat up the stories of these highschool girls, who somehow wore heels to school everyday, and somehow managed to do absolutely no homework. Even if the character was a "good student", they literally never did homework. Once I moved on from the disney shows, I began watching the ABC shows, like Pretty Little Liars. Seriously, those girls are wearing designer clothing and five inch heels everyday, and have so much free time and money that I literally though that once I got to highscool my wardrobe would miraculously fill with fabulous clothing and I'd be able to strut around the hallway in my stilettos and be just like the girls I saw. If only life was that good. 
This isn't me bashing those shows. No, I'll watch an episode of That's So Raven any day. But I really wish that disney would stop making me think that every highschool has only three types of people: the anti social "nerds", with the stereotypical taped-up glasses and braces who will let you copy their homework if you do weird favors for them, the spunky and "different" group (who would be the main characters in the show), and of course the group of catty girls that follow one leader and wear either cheerleader outfits, or color coordinated outfits in either pink or purple. I though I'd have it all figured out as long as I was sassy like Raven, dramatic like the girls in Pretty Little Liars, said really, really cheesy things like every character in Disney highschool shows, and wore clothes that were questionably out of taste, but worked because they were worn on TV and somehow that justified it.  
Thankfully I also was able to watch shows that accurately captured what highschool is like. Shows like Freaks and Geeks ♥ and My So Called Life ♥ that made me laugh and cry. Those are the shows that I can relate to now, and that I wish every junior high kid would watch. 
Yes! Please Please watch all those highschool shows from the 80s! Watch the Breakfast Club. Seriously, the 80s birthed so many good highschool shows and movies that I wish I could live out my highschool days back then. Back in the days of high-waisted everything, and hideous prints that everyone secretly loved (and still love). When Birkenstocks were hot, and frizzy hair and chunky jewelry were trés cool. 
So please do not enter highschool with the Disney-influenced delusion I had, and watch the 80s movies. Just do it. 

Goodnight from my cozy bed-cave

An Open Letter To Schools Who Do Not Give Sex-Ed

Hello Hello humans of earth and other beings.
I live in the U.S., if you all didn't know (though my heart lives in Canada), and this country is still generally conservative. Yes, more and more states are revising their laws on gay marriage, and abortion is slowly but surely becoming more accepted, but still, there is a very sensitive and tentative attitude towards sex, whether on tv, between teens, unmarried couples, or between two people of the same sex. 
Now I am mostly surrounded by people who are not conservative in that sense, and openminded about all that, and I go to a very good school where sexuality is embraced and there is no bullying or sexual pressure (that I know off...). But my school does not provide Sex-Ed. This is a school with several branches that goes from kindergaten all the way to 12th grade. That means if a kid is enrolled from the time they're five until they're 18, they are not going to receive any Sex-Ed from school, and you all know how wonderfully awkward the sex talk can be with parents. I will tell you this now in case you are not a highschooler like me: Sex is something an average kid learns about in around 4th grade. I mean, c'mon. it's just naive to think that just becuase mommy and daddy don't talk to their kid about the birds and the bees, and the school doesn't either, then the child will grow up having no idea what sex is until they reach college. I'm pretty sure that's Impossible. Not only will they learn what it is from either the ever-reliable source: our friend the interwebs, from their friends, or a combination of both. This only leads to misinformation, and kids having no idea what is happening to themselves or all that feelings stuff that kinda comes with adolescence.  So now, without further ado, I present to you 
My open letter to schools who don't provide Sex-Ed:

Dearest Schools-who-don't-give-Sex-ed,
I'm sure you feel you are doing the right thing. Perhaps the school board is filled with overly protective moms who fear that their child hearing the word sex will ever taint the pure and innocent nature they raised them with. I'm not blaming you, or even the moms. Well, not that much. I'm just here to say that perhaps you should reconsider. To the moms, dominating the school board: Your son knows what sex is. Trust me, honey. How can you expect a 15 year old boy Not to know what sex is? Do I really have to lay it out for you? With all the lame "that's what she said" jokes he makes in class, followed by the chorus of laughter from the other kids, I'm pretty sure he knows that a crane didn't drop him into your lap. Not sitting these kids down and telling them plainly what sex is, even if they know already, can't do any harm. Not telling your teenagers about safe-sex isn't going to stop them from having sex. I'm sorry parents, but there comes a point in a teen's life where all you can do is hope you've taught them well enough to make wise choices. And when I say "Wise choices", I don't mean abstaining. This is NOT me saying that every highschooler is fully sexually active! I'm just saying that there are always those highschoolers that have sex. Not giving them sex-ed is only going to lead to them not having safe sex and catching all those wonderful things called STDs. Another thing, schools-who-Don't-give-Sex-ed, don't forget that highschool is the place where a lot of self realization happens! Yes, in highscool, it's when you realize that you like the Backstreet Boys, or maybe that you want red hair, or even deciding that you never want to eat yogurt again. Highschool is about learning, but it's also about influences. We teens are just aching to be influenced. We Want to start making life choices, early as it may seem to you non-highschoolers. It tastes so good to say
"I'm a feminist" becuase I know it's true, but I also know that it was a decision I made about myself. So I'm actually asking to use this... eagerness of ours to your benefit. Teach these highschoolers about consent. teach them about condoms, and birth control and getting tested and all the good things that will actually help them in the future. I know, it may seem scary when you see our cute, angsty, figuring-it-out faces in the hallways as we rush to class, to think that we're going to be having a sex at some point in our lives. But by keeping us in the dark, you're only disadvantaging us. 
So, schools-who-don't-give-sex-ed, please. Please see it this way, an teach the kids to be responsible before we're released into the world outside of highschool, which as you hopefully know is out of your censorship control.
 Sincerely,
A higschooler who knows how it is
Panteha Abareshi.

So I hope you all enjoyed my open letter to schools who don't give sex-ed ☺. Please feel free to comment kids, even if you hated it, I want to know! 

Stay safe lovelies.
Panteha 

EDIT: I forgot to mention that Arizona, which is sadly where I live, legally forbids the teaching of Sex-Ed in public schools. THAT in itself is atrocious. Apparently it's "Abstinence Only". Eew. I'm shivering with disgust. But that does not even apply to my school because I attend a charter school (yes I know. Charter schools are killing the public school system. I know I know) so I ain't even excepting excuses.

When I ask for equal rights

why must you assume that

I want to be treated 

like a man?

Why I Need Feminism

Hello Hello, lovely creatures.
Today, on this particularly insignificant day I will be writing about a very significant topic. I am, as mentioned before, a feminist. But, it wasn't some random decision I made just so I could say
"I'm a feminist" and parade around with my misogyny-hating proclamations. I do have a root to my decisions.
I am a very ambitious person. I know where I want to go, what a want to do and become, and exactly what I have to do to get there. I genuinely enjoy thinking about my future, and so I asked my table mates one day where they see themselves in 20 years. I told them where I see myself, giving a specific description of my job, hours and the salary I hope to make. The rest of my table all asked me the same  question:
"What about a relationship"? They had all explained in detail the kind of relationship they see themselves having, and not so much focus on their profession. One of my friends even told me that in 20 years she wanted to be a stay-at-home mom, pregnant with her third child. I was so shocked that a table full of girls/women/female things my age all thought about their future in terms of the relationships they'd have, and not the strides they had made themselves. This is why I need feminism. I don't plan my life around relationships and I don't look foreword to my wedding. I look foreword to my first job, and getting published one day, and the fact that my ambitions not involving relationships  shocks people is why I need feminism.
I need feminism because I don't want to be expected to be married by 25, and popping out babies within a few months of that. I need feminism because my decision that I do not want kids should be accepted, and not brushed off as a "inexperienced teenage nonsense". The fact that I don't see myself married in 20 years is not sad or an expression of low self-esteem. Just because I don't want to be a housewife doesn't mean I'm not a "good woman". This Is not the 50'! Women don't wear aprons all day with their hair in cute updos, waiting for their husband to come home. The very fact that people talk to me more about my future, beginning with the "When you're married..."made me the feminist I am today. I don't fantasize about my wedding day, and what color bouquets I would have. I feel that romance is not something to plan and focus on. I know that if i just go with the flow of things, and do what I'm doing, I'll meet someone and sparks will fly or whatever these hopeless romantics go on about. But honestly, I really don't care right now. I just want to live, and work hard and get places. I have a dream like any other girl, though perhaps a bit more filled with feminist activism and anti-patriarchal work, and I feel that I should be able to plan my life without thinking about who I want to have on my arm without shocking people. Until women not wanting children, and finding the life of a housewife unenticing, I will rant and be a feminist and sing my anti-misogyny songs to warm the hearts of this patriarchal society.

Goodnight humans

How I came to realize I was a girl

Hello Hello men and gentlewomen, 
today I will be recounting the tale of how I, Panteha Abareshi, came to realize that I am a girl. Sometimes it isn't as simple as looking at the anatomy. I was indeed born the female sex, meaning that all my bits and pieces are what we call the female version of the human species. As i grew up, I never really fit into the archetypal "girl" role. I hated dolls, and I've always preferred pants over dresses. I liked the colors blue and green, not pink and purple. But overall, I did think "I'm a girl". and I was. and I still am the same girl/woman/female thing (though perhaps a bit taller and hopefully wiser). I must admit that my realization that I am a girl was quite simply made, but I realize that for some, it isn't so easy. I have come the the belief that your anatomy is not linked to your mental identity. One may be born a boy physically, but mentally not feel remotely masculine. One may be born a girl but not necessarily feel that they are a girl. Now this isn't going to be a rant to end Trans-Hate... no, I'm much to tired to write about that now. It's 6:00! Maybe after I've drunk some tea... 
Anyways. This isn't about that. This is about reminding people, or even teaching people that everyone grows into themselves. Nobody is born with a clear idea of what they'll be like 10 years, 20 years or even 80 years down the road. Why would you want to  We're kids for a while, all excited and unaware, then we grow to be moody, angsty teens who quote Marilyn Monroe and Kurt Cobain. Then we leave highschool like baby birds leaving the nest, and go to college or start working at Mcdonalds. Like I said, it's a process.  I had no idea what a feminist was when I was 9. Now look at me, all against the patriarchy. No matter what you have to realize about yourself, whether it be your gender, your sexuality, your politics, taste in music, or stuff as simple as whether you like sleeping on the right or left side of the bed, it is a process. Everyone wants to be independent, but I think that people are under the misconception that to be individual they have to be radically different and wild, but Individuality is making your own beliefs out of the influences and beliefs around you. The beautiful thing about being a human is that we aren't confined by evolutionary disadvantages, and by animalistic habits.... well for the most part. That's why we're so diverse and wildly different from eachother. 
Embrace the process. Kill the patriarchy.

Hugs and defiance or gender roles,

Panteha 

Gender-Bend It

Hello again, my perhaps nonexistent audience.
I have come to the realization that my past two posts may have come off as a bit... female supremacy-ist. Now it's not like I'm against female supremacy, but I'd rather have equality of everything and everyone, than one group being "supreme" over everything else. I know it's an unachievable wish, due only to the competitive nature of Humans. It is a sad, pessimistic statement, but it is hard to deny. We will never settle for equality. Humans find ways to, quite randomly, pick groups that are superior for either their beliefs- religious, political or both, or for their physical appearance, and claim they are superior. But as the feminist, doe-eyed teenage girl/woman/female thing I am, I can dream.
So today I will be ranting about the fabulous topic of

Gender Roles.

A topic I love to rant about, but I feel brings either discomfort, or confusion to many people. I first started thinking more about gender roles, and what really distinguishes men from women, Aside from anatomy (Duh), in my literature class. I will admit here and now that I am not shy when it comes to vocalizing my opinion, especially on topics such as this one. I participated in the discussion quite enthusiastically, but I did feel that many of the other youngsters around me found the topic quite uncomfortable. Honestly, I don't care if you feel uncomfortable, I'm going to open up my mouth and talk. Or... fire up my fingers and type.
I feel so proud to live in a world where sexuality and the blurring of gender distinguishing is more accepted. Now it is not unusual to see a woman in pants, or in a suit. not is is uncommon to see women working in business  or as CEOs.  But people still have this... jesting unease with men filling more "feminine" roles. For instance, a stay-at-home dad is not as easily accepted as a stay-at-home mom. A woman staying home and letting her husband work is a common thing, as she is considered to be "devoting herself to family", while a man in the same position has beed criticized as being "weak" or "lazy" for not being the one "bringin' in the bacon". God forbid, a woman is the one supporting the household.   Same goes with clothing for men. Even though women are no longer confined to wearing only dresses and skirts, people will still double, or even triple take if they see a man walking down the street in a summer dress. What about a guy wearing makeup? Or some cute high heels? It is still considered much more bizarre and taboo then a woman without makeup in basketball shorts and kicks. 
This concept of masculinity and femininity is a very interesting one. Femininity has become this very broad spectrum (I'm not complaining...)- a woman doesn't have to be all frills and makeup and lolita dresses to be feminine. But masculinity is still a very narrow spectrum. Masculinity is...
football games, steaks,
beards and deep voices 
strong, muscular arms, and bravery. 
Masculinity is a hairy chest, luck with the ladies
and being able to handle alcohol. Women are praised for being strong, and brave, and good for them if they can hold their alcohol. But if a man is sensitive, he's a coward. If he's emotional, he's a crybaby. If he likes to cook and clean, and doesn't keep up with football, he's simply "not a man". These are not hunting and gathering times, when if you weren't brave, or thick-skinned you wouldn't be able to survive. It is such a travesty that if a man displays more feminine qualities he's dubbed either gay, or simply '"feminine", which in itself is (unfortunately) an insult to men. Don't get me wrong- I love the gays more than the gays love the gays, but I do feel that the fact that being called "gay" is still such an insult is a horrible thing, but that is a rant for another day. 
We have made such strides as a species, but still we're hindered by the belief that men are superior, and so the belief is 
why on earth would they want to surrender their masculinity, and display such signs of weakness (apparently the weaknesses in men are the exact archetypes for women- vulnerability, sensitivity, emotional expression...). The truth of the matter is this, people:
Men are human. Women are also human. We are all humans. Human have emotions, emotions are good. It is IMPOSSIBLE for a man to be perfectly masculine, because the definition of masculinity portrayed by society is one of unreasonably emotionless proportions.

I hate memes, but

overly manly man, anyone?

All this image and hype around the perfect masculine man only makes men who lack the traits of the overly manly man feel substandard and lame. So can we stop making them feel lame? Because it's lame. C'mon kids.

Au Revoir babes
