Drive-By Thoughts: What Feminism DOESN’T Mean
No, contrary to popular belief (of mothers,) feminism does NOT mean worshiping the mother-goddess or giving women who breed special privilege above everyone else. It just doesn’t! You do not get to just call yourself feminist, then declare everyone who doesn’t let you have your way at all times anti-feminist. Feminism means equality, not special treatment just for you/whatever group you happen to belong to. Deal with it.

Drive-By Thoughts: Share If You Believe
A while ago, on Face Book, I ran into a horrifying picture. It appeared to be some sort of accident, with mangled metal and bodies. Next to the army of one of the bloody corpses was a small boy, seemingly alive and unharmed, which a circle drawn on the picture around his face. The worst part about the picture was the caption “Share if you believe in God.”
Although I do not believe, I was tempted to share anyway while adding the commentary “… and believe that he’s a sick monster who has the power to prevent tragedies like this, but doesn’t. “ How is it that so few actually consider this?
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?

Drive-By Thoughts: An English Lesson
You’re old enough by now to know your rules of written English. Write like your teachers weren’t just wasting their time on you. There are many words that sound similar, but are spelled differently depending on usage. They’re called “homophones.” It’s high time that you wrote like a real adult who understands this language and its rules.
And if you think those English rules are weird, don’t even get me started on spelling rules like exceptions to the rule, “i before e.”
Drive-By Thoughts: Militantly Childfree
I almost don’t even know what to think when confronted by the term, “militantly childfree.” It’s just so ridiculous. All being childfree means is that individual does not want children, and thus chooses to never have them. How is it even possible to be militant about that? Do I stomp my feet while taking my birth control? Glare meaningfully at random children while buying condoms at the corner store? What?
