''We live in a society where we teach girls how not to get raped, instead of teaching boys not to rape.''

Biking home from my friends house, it's about 20 degrees Celsius, so obviously, I'm going to wear summer clothes, A pair of shorts, a black top, and a funky grey sweater type deal over the top.  Talking to my mom on the phone, telling her about how much fun I had with my friend. That's when some sexist, 20 some year old, middle eastern guy decided to yell ''Hey babe'' after me. 

 Now, I might not wear a scarf on my head, and I might not everything but my face and my hands, but that doesn't mean I'm a whore. I'm bathing in my right to wear whatever I please, something that women have been fighting years to be able to. Does that in anyway give you permission to yell after me? No. No it doesn't.

First of all, I'm a good five to ten years younger than you, and you can tell, it's not like I look that old. Second of all, even if I did dress like a whore, couldn't you have a little respect for women? And third of all, It's not the first time, it's like the fifth. All the other times I have ignored you, and I swear, if you ever touch me, or even yell after me again, I will call the police and place a report on you for sexual harassment. I don't care.

It pisses me off so much. I just want to be respected, even though I have a vagina. Is that really so much to ask for? Do I have to dress a certain way to be taken seriously? I know there is a time and place for different outfits. I would never go to a professional social gathering in shorts and some belly top. But just biking home from my friends house? I have to be careful what to wear? I have to control myself? 

The worst part is, that if I told one of my friends, they'd probably tell me I was asking for it. Sorry for thinking I deserve respect.

Gender rolls and frustrating women.

Everyone who ready knows the story Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, right? Well in case you don't, it's the story of a girl in the 1800. She falls for a rich guy, Mr Darcy. He's pride and she had Prejudice, and it's, in many's opinion, the best love story ever written.

If you look at the actual plot, the story is about how important it is to get married as a woman. Over the years this has changed, and in out society, women can be independent, and don't have to get married.
We can have any job, and we've gotten to the point where you can work full time, and the men can stay home.

So, why is aunt Hilda frowned upon because she isn't married?
Why is it considered bad not to want children?
Why are women still sometimes considered object, prizes for men to show off?
and will we ever truly get over gender roles?

For example, at my school we're divided by gender. The girls dance, and the guys play ball games.
I had this friend, and she was always against this, like me, she thought that it was wrong, and gender discrimination. The teachers pretty much hated us because we actually answered them back with qualified arguments.

Since then my friend got her boyfriend. Now she tottaly agrees with dividing boys and girls, saying ''boys are stronger, so obviously they should be doing ball sports''. And she will actually start arguing with me now when I don't want the guys and girls to be divided.
She can see herself getting married to her boyfriend. She's fifteen.

Why is it that, even though it's proclaimed that it's okay to be an independent woman, people go back to gender rolls anyways?

I wouldn't consider myself a feminist, I just want equal rights for all. Blacks, Jews, Gays, Women, Men, Bisexuals, and Middle-Easterns.

It's just hard for me to see gender rolls getting re-established when it's been worked to hard to get them removed. But on the other hand, if that's what women want, I mean, if they actually want to be repressed, should they be?

Welcome to the world of believing in one of the most hated religions in the world.

My little sister just got threatened because she's Jewish. Someone literary told one of her friends to ''beat up that girl because she's Jewish''.


I'm so pissed right now. Like, I am so mad, that I am actually crying. You all remember that video with the guy flipping out because his mom had cancelled his WOW account ? That's how I feel.

How can we live in a society, where it's okay for a muslim to threaten a jew, or a christian for that sake.....But the moment you point out that a muslim isn't behaving well, you're a fucking racist.

And people wonder why I would vote DanishPeople party.

I'm so mad about this.
It's like, I'm a cool person until they figuire out I'm jewish, Then I'm just horrible.
What the fuck is that ?

Urgh. I'm sooo worried, not just about my little sister, but also the world we live in.

Fuck this. I have to go to work.

I Hate it when you assume.

I hate it when you assume

That we're still friends, after all the shit you put me through, all the times you pushed me aside or forgot me. Don't go poking me on Facebook, the only reason I haven't removed you is because I'm not in the mood for Drama.

When you think I don't work hard for my grades. Damn it, I have to work really hard to get the grades I do, It doesn't just come naturally to all of us, I mean, we can't all be Selena Gomez.

When you judge me because I'm emotionally damaged. I'd like to see you walk in my shoes and be normal, so if I want to be sad, for gods sake, let me be alone, and don't bug me.

When you changed. I admitted I liked you, and then you said you liked me back. After that, you changed. That sucks, go back to being the guy I liked.

When I have an awesome blog that no one follows.

When I'm not old enough to get something posted on thoughtcatalog.

When I have to worry about life and not just get to be a kid.

When I have an awesome idea for a book, but I'm too late.

I'm not racist!

No. No I'm not.
I'm not against immigrants, I'm just immigrant critical, for the love of god, I'm an immigrant!
Just because I don't find myself attracted to most dark people, I'm not racist.
Yeah, I vote Danish people party, that doesn't mean I hate all immigrant, it means I want more focus on danish students.
Do I have prejudice towards some people? Well yeah, but that's because I live in an area where being Jewish will get you beat up and I thing that's fucking wrong.
And obviously it pisses me off when you don't know the language of the country you're living in. I don't care if you're a doctor or a school student, learn the freaking language. It's not that hard, and if it is too hard, then move, and don't tell the people born here to learn your language.

I just want people to adapt to the culture and country the live in. That does not make me a racist.

I really really shouldn't be on here.

I should be researching things for Berlin. But, I've had this on my mind since this morning and I need to get it out before I can get *any* work done.

So, for those of you who don't know, I sing in a choir, like an actual church choir. And I'm Jewish. Don't ask me how that works out, it just does.

Anyways, so today, we had a service and here I was, waiting to sing again, and it hit me, that I have most likely been in the church more than most Christians
Now I'm not saying all, but most don't go to church every Sunday, hell they don't even go once a month.
And I can't help but wonder, what kind of world do we live in, if we fight over a religion, and try to shove our religion down other peoples throat, when we don't even take the time to practice are own religion.


And by the way, do we even have the right to judge others because of their religion or try to convert them ?
I mean, what makes us think we have that right ? Honestly.
I pride myself in being tolerant of others religions and opinions. Like, there are a lot of cultures and religions I highly disagree with, yet I have really good friends who believe in that. Cause I can look past that.


The point of this whole rant is to encourage tolerance.

Musings of an insomniac.

So here I am at 00:40 a.m writting this on my phone.                                                                               Anyways the reason i'm writting this ? well today, i read this list over things that girls should know about guys (http://felixker.com/love-relationship/99-facts-about-guys-that-girls-should-know/), and there were a whole bunch of comments, and all thee guys seemed to sweet, and were agreeing with it. Reading the comments i coulden't help but think ''Why cant I find a guy like this ?'' I mean it's no secret that my 'love life' is nonexistent. I mean, are guys only that sweet on the internet, or have I just been extremely unlucky in meeting guys ?                                      
on another note  :  i feel like i'm the only one currently  not in a relashionship.....i mean, i try to convince myself i don't care. But i do, not because i want to be in a relashionship. But after getting mentally abused my dad as a child, i need constant confirmation that I'm good enough....so  when i can't get a guy/girl i begin to question myself ' am i good enough' ' am i doing enough to get into a good college' ' am i being supportive enough of everyone around me'. then being the people pleaser I am doesn't help. I honestly don't understand why everyone wants me to be a politician when i'm such a pushover....i think journalism would be so much better for me. Partly because i want to write more than talk and personally because, when i write, i feel free. I don't have to see peoples reaction to what i'm writing, i don't have to worry aboout people agreeing or disagreeing. I just write.
