The Glorification of Toxic Femininity

So, in response to the Gillette ad I've seen a lot of people (mainly men) saying things like "Imagine if women had this happen to them! The feminists would be outraged!" along with "Theres no such thing as "toxic" masculinity" etc. While I already addressed the one about toxic masculinity in a earlier post I… Continue reading The Glorification of Toxic Femininity

Toxic is Just Another Word For Sinful

Hey, just a heads up that this post implies some transgender ideology. That is in no way the intent and in fact the opposite intent is intended - That our sex has very little to do with our personality.

What Catholics (and Protestants) Need To Learn

Wait... what? Why would Catholics and Protestants want to learn from each other??? We're as different as cats and dogs..

I have met no one worse than someone who fits into one of the two groups: -A rich Catholic -A Catholic who thinks they’re perfect I’m going to work backwards in talking about them and start with the second one.  As Christians we’re called to humility, but a lot of us don’t realize how much… Continue reading The 2 Worst Types of Catholics Pt. 1

The Spoon Theory & Food

If you have chronic illness of some sort you’ve probably heard of the spoon theory before. It’s a basic theory that Christine Miserandino made up with to explain to her friends how much energy she has. An example of how spoons could be divided up is below:   This is a very handy method, but… Continue reading The Spoon Theory & Food

On What Defines A Right

I got into a debate with someone in a Facebook group just now about what defines a "right." Their logic was - clean water is not a right because it requires the services of another person. So I asked what they defined as a right, and they dodged the question for a bit, before finally… Continue reading On What Defines A Right
