We need feminism because degrading phrases like “walk of shame” are commonplace in our social vocabulary, yet these are only applied to women; whereas men in the same situation are praised by their peers and seen as nothing more than ” a guy who got lucky”, by the rest of society.

When you’re having what you feel like is a “bad day” and then someone comes along out of nowhere and extends to you the simplest of kind gestures, you feel it so deeply within your heart.

Be that kind of girl who smiles when you walk past other girls instead of casting a dirty look. Don’t buy into the notion of female competition that society so heavily promotes.

The saying ‘flattery gets you everywhere’ appalls me. If you’re going to pay someone a compliment make sure it’s 100% genuine or not at all.-Flattery is deception and who wants to be lied to?

Don’t let society fool you into believing that if you don’t have a girlfriend or boyfriend then you’re destined for a life of misery. The Dalai Lama has been single for the last 80 years and he is one of the happiest people on earth. Stop searching for happiness in places outside of yourself, and start finding it where it has always been: within you.

Don’t tell me I’m “too tall” just because my height happens to threaten your rather fragile sense of masculinity. The fact that men cannot physically look down upon women who are taller than them is the very reason that many men find tall women so intimidating.

Threatening a current or former partner isn’t passion, or love, or heartache. It’s violence, it’s abuse and it’s a crime.

Instead of complaining about your situation, actually do something about it. Playing “poor me” just ain’t sexy.

Don’t allow yourself to be fooled by how “nice” a person appears to be, measure a person’s virtuousness by the way in which they treat others with their words and actions .

Guys, you don’t have to act “manly” to be considered a man; you are a man, so just be yourself. You don’t have to prove your masculinity to anyone.
