Hello Everybody!!

I just wanted to share two articles that I was reading about Feminism today. One made me mad, and one made me glad.

The first one is "Why modern feminism is illogical, unnecessary, and evil" and it talked about how feminism isn't really necessary in this day and age, and also kinda stupid. Also evil. Can't forget that one.

The other one in response to the previous was called "Why Anti-Feminism is Illogical, Unnecessary, Evil, and Incredibly Unsexy."

I really enjoyed the second one because it talks about how many people can be feminist without knowing about it. Feminism doesn't mean you don't shave your legs, hate all men, and eat tofu. You don't have to be a hippie and wear clothing made of hemp. You don't even have to be a woman. Men are great feminists too.

I'd avoid reading the comments on the second one. They will make most people upset. My favorite upsetting one was "If feminism was about equality, it would have died when MEN gave women the right to vote." But then again I didn't read to far into the comments. One page of 30 or so comments was enough to make me stop.

Anyway enjoy the articles. It's a great way to not study for finals. Good luck!!

The Illinois House passed civil unions in the House! It's now making its way to the Senate.

I would like to personally thank Rep. William Black, R-Danville, who said "I'd rather be right than consistent."
