Intro:
It has become almost impossible for women to enjoy most forms of entertainment because of sexist roles or comments directed towards women in these outlets.
Sometimes a women can find themselves so engulfed in a certain show or with the work of an certain artist-musician, who in turn doesn't regard respectable roles in their work for women.
I think most women have been victims of such contradictions to their own faith as feminists or just plain women who feel they should be respected.
Women these days are psychologically driven to enjoy most big screen movies,shows and music by men or other women who fail to these how certain derogatory roles and name calling hurt women.
Even the tiniest of things start to add up ,like the way women should maintain themselves.
Just the other night I was hanging out with my male friend when I got an itch in my winter-no-shave-very-hairy-legs, as I lifted my pants sleeve to scratch .I then felt ashamed as he had seen them.
While he only laughed because I had unthoughtfully pointed them out I felt ashamed,almost disgusted with myself.That kind of mentality is all the result of male based oppression of how a women should maintain themselves in order to be seen as attractive and "presentable" to the world.
I honestly think how it's totally fucked how women's first sign of puberty is regarded as disgusting while males is encouraged for their ego.
Feminists based celebrities and Tumbler hipsters have fought the clean shaven women ideal.Such celebrities as Miley Cyrus even dyed her pit her florescent colors as a form of rebellion.
While I myself have yet to gain the courage of letting it all grow out.I'll probably need some form of therapy first.
However I am well aware and against the pink tax that makes most women's products at a higher expense for their "high-maintenance packaging".Like how fucked and sexists can that get?

Why are National Musicians Ignored in American Media Outlets?
While most American based bands are amazing ,there has been a rise in the bouquet of talent from all over the world recently.
In the past there has been the cultural influence/ clash of other national bands rising to the scene.However in America it has always been that if they don't speak the glorified langue they're not really worthy of consideration.
You might think I'm culturally misinformed and that in fact a large majority of Americans are culturally considerable of national talents.However not many of those talents are being represented in our media outlets as worthy of our time.That's understandable of us to not acknowledge national sources for talents, when they don't speak or propose ideas we can't fully understand yet we still shouldn't miss them all together.
South Americans ,Europeans,Asians gorge on our culture influence so much that they care to grasp it's complexities .American musicians have and always will be the great landmark of the free ,bohemian pop star embodiment.After taking from the another English based country ,England the mother country of nation infatuation with rock and roll (the Beatles) that changed us and the whole world taste in music.
The Beatles revolutionized America as they did with other countries,mainly European but they still had a great effect on music widely.That same influence has remained the same since the sixties.If music and culture is not flowing from the US its been thrown back from the UK and of course that weird occurrence of Canada.It's hard to take in consideration non regional culture if we have nothing to do with it yet if you do you will be more culturally informed and will know of artists no one knows about. Artists that are just as good than American artists but always different.
To start you off here's a few of my favorite nationals.

Defunding Of Planned Parenthood:Texas
Oct.19 Texas governor,Greg Abbott announced the defunding of Planned Parenthood’s medicaid program.
That same day ,Texas Health and Human Services Commission inspector general Stuart W. Bowen Jr. in a written statement sent to the organization declared,“the State has determined that you and your Planned Parenthood affiliates are no longer capable of performing medical services in a professionally competent, safe, legal and ethical manner, and that as a result, Planned Parenthood will be cut out of the state Medicaid program. “
According to slate.com,the only government funding that goes to Planned Parenthood in Texas goes only those who qualify for simple Medicaid.In Texas it requires a strict financial standing yearly income of $3,760 , for a family of three to qualify for Medicaid and adults with no dependents cannot qualify.
Now with that taken away Texas’ low-class, women will be helpless and incapable of receiving any care.The already impossible just got a whole lot worse for women’s affordable health care.
Perhaps other facilities can try and replace the work and care Planned Parenthood has done over the years.However this is not to be done so easily as such a huge responsibility is being left in minor facilities that are only sidesteps in comparison to a such major health facility that’s taken care of women for years.
Last year alone Planned Parenthood provided cancer screenings for nearly 3,000 Texas women according to the CDC. Among other services provided were preventive care ,pap tests, birth control,pelvic exams ,mammograms and other services among the condemned abortion in the face of Republicans.
Medicaid brings about one third of money for planned parenthood and such a cut can mean no good for the organization according to texasmonthly.com.
Not only is the defunding of the organization a problem but it also affects availability. In places like Waco there is no alternative providers but that of Planned Parenthood and poor residents in the area are left without any hope of service.
The Bowen’s statement letter and recent law proceedings in the name of Planned Parenthood are a weak excuse in response for the allegations of supposed Planned Parenthood undercover recordings of their facilities including one in Houston.
This summer in July, speaker of the House Mr.Boehner urged to have an investigation of Planned Parenthood.In which around the same time an anti abortion group began posting videos online of the secretly recorded videos according to Ny-Times.com
Analyst Glen Simpson of Fusion GPS,a Washington based research and corporate intelligence company said about the investigated videos,...”they do not present a complete or accurate record of the events they purport to depict.”
The significant ,and largely entitled corporation for the well being of women is now jeopardized over such falsehood which excuse Texas lawmakers to denounce all that is reasonable and equally fair for the women of their state.
According to yahoo health.com there has been no fetal tissue donation or collection in Texas since the 2010-2011 and, only one Planned Parenthood clinic participated in fetal tissue donation program.
It’s been legally proven that the organization is not doing anything against the law yet conservative lawmakers are blindsided to anything that dignifies women.
“We will fight back against this outrageous, malicious, political attack in Texas with everything we've got, and we will protect women's access to the health care they need and deserve”,Dawn Laguens, executive vice president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said in a statement to the Associated Press.

The Famous Lightining Bolt
Striking Revelations of the Lightning Bolt!
I believe that this is urge might also be another impulse of mine to get off my system. I've thought about it and if anything is to be inked in my flesh for life is this.
I tend to model myself after the beloved grandmother of punk rock.She is a prodigy that continues to influence girls and artists, to carry on .For girls she is a feminist goddess, who set many firsts for the upcoming,liberated female musician.She herself is the embodiment of feminist power house that radiates energy to all girls that feel neglect for their sexuality, class,or other general standings.
Patti is a great musician and writer.I myself consider her early life memoir ,Just Kids a great examination of a life of an artist in the New York scene.A lover of classical French poets,cinema and painters.A founder of punk rock and great aspiration to the many great female musicians of today.
Patti Smith gives me great hope in that she herself embodies the idea that a female musician can make a respectable name for herself.She also has achieved a successful music career, raised a family and managed writing career on the side.She has given me hope in many ways in my troubled youth.
Although nothing as great as the queen ,I always looked up to her in my moments of self doubt and self growth.I know I'm no musician or legitimate writer ,but in many ways I found myself longing to be one.For that I want something that reminds me of her profoundly and all that she means to girls like me.
However I have not completely resolved how she herself came with the idea of the lighting bolt tattoo all so surely.I found two quotes from her memoir that seem to clarify things a bit.
From her book Just Kids she mentions the novel Crazy Horse :
“I thought of something I learned from reading Crazy Horse: The Strange Man of the Oglalas by Mari Sandoz. Crazy Horse believes that he will be victorious in battle, but if he stops to take spoils from the battlefield, he will be defeated. He tattoos lightning bolts on the ears of his horses so the sight of them will remind him of this as he rides. I tried to apply this lesson to the things at hand, careful not to take spoils that were not rightfully mine.”
In another excerpt from her memoir,she mentions a girl in which she is influenced by her image to get the tattoo.
"I decided I wanted a similar tattoo. I was sitting in the lobby drawing versions of lightning bolts in my notebook when a singular woman entered. She had wild red hair, a live fox on her shoulder, and her face was covered with delicate tattoos. I realized that if one erased the tattoos, they would reveal the face of Vali, the girl on the cover of Love on the Left Bank. Her picture had long ago found a place on my wall.“
"I asked her outright if she would tattoo my knee. She stared at me and nodded in assent, not saying anything. In the next few days we arranged that she would tattoo my knee in Sandy Daley’s room, and that Sandy would film it, just as she had filmed Robert getting his nipple pierced, as if it were my turn to be initiated."
That in the name of the punk goddess gives me an good enough nudge to ink my skin. However, not entirely convinced I have found other great inspirations from other icons of the scene who rocked the lighting bolt.
The likes of David Bowie who glorified the striking ,lighting bolt face makeup.David Bowie, whom in his Ziggy Stardust phase,he glamorously wore.
David Bowie ,himself was influenced by no other than the king,Elvis Presley.
Presley a great influence of Bowie's in many aspects,like choice of body suits and mullet like hair.They both recorded for RCA and they both even had the same birth date.
Bowie's adaptation of his Ziggy phase was once again a greatly influenced by the ring the king often wore.
"The lightning bolt motif Bowie wore for the Aladdin Sane album cover was partly inspired by a ring that Elvis wore – which had a lightning bolt emblem along with the letters TCB. Of course, Elvis was more famous for his TCB pendants than his ring, but that’s beside the point," according to elvisblog.com

My Writing inspirations:Tavi Gevingson ;Being a multi-artist
My inspiration :Why I Write
I don't remember ever being in love with the idea of writing but more with the idea of sharing something with others.In an over all sense that's exactly what writing might be.All good writing is done from a core within the writer that later seeks to be dug out by others and be understood.Someone who is in pain may only write to vent ,to let emotions come out , in turn it can also serve the reader to understand that emotion on another perspective.
I myself write about topics that have occurred or inspired to me.I love writing about music and art as a idea to share with others because I love such topics.Ever since high-school I knew I wanted be a music writer no matter all the bad shade thrown at women in the field.However I grew out of wanting to strictly write about music because there's so much more that effects me daily and I want to be able share those impacts.
Topics that catch my attention as a writer are women's rights,psychology,travel,decor and most types of art including
painting,photography,poetry,literature,film and fashion.The reason I specifically center around these topics is because as a writer I respect such work immensely. Mostly because the work in such fields, I have myself longed to produce.Although I love writing as both an art and as a medium to interact with others ,I have always longed to be a multi-artist.I only get a glimpse of the work when writing about it ,yet I rather write about it than not have any association at all.
As a writer who is interested in multiple topics I have always been inspired by publications zines like Rookie magazine,Dazed and Confused,I-d magazine,Interview magazine,Nylon and my recent favorite Austere magazine.Austere is home based publication here in Denton/Dallas, Texas.Their topics include topics on fashion,music,art forms,and people.I wish I had known about them much earlier because they are magnificent and a great bunch of individuals .I hope be as bold as them,and make my produce in a formal not so formal way.Work for the men while doing what I love.
Individuals ,more like heroines like Petra Collins and Tavi Gevingson from Rookie Magazine have set the doors and liberated so many young girls and guys.They write about daily life problems and in that style they prove to be exceptionally like no other publishing site.They are an open book of great art fumes and condolences ,wrapped in sympathy for all lost teenagers.There's not a day when my writing doesn't reflect the values and humanism ideals of being a young teenage girl because of the confidence they have provided me with so.My honest writing has been greatly influenced by them.Yes,Tavi Genvingson is my ultimate hero and I thank her for allowing such movement in the publishing works to be abound.All in hope I will work to become someone like her a young women and a great vision that helped many.
