I make videos on youtube, as some of you know.
I recently got some comments from a guy basically stating that I was pretty, but what I had to say wasn't important (even though it wasn't important things I was saying, this comment still came across as rude).
And it got me thinking.
A lot of boys (I'm going to use the term boys, to imply mentally little kids, because respectable men do not do this) only see women as sexual objects. Things to be admired for their beauty. As if women have nothing of importance to say.
So I vented my frustration on my tumblr, basically stating that if boys can look on women as objects, women can look on boys as objects.
Then a boy commented on that basically taking the side of the youtube commenter.
Why is it that it's okay for women to be thought of as vaginas but it's not okay for men to be thought of as penises? Why this double standard?

Virtual Money
Background info: Dollars are backed by silver. When the amount of silver and the amount of money is equal, a dollar = a dollar. When the amount of money is less than the amount of silver, a dollar = more than a dollar. When the amount of money is greater than the amount of silver, a dollar = less than a dollar. That's where we are right now, more money than silver. When the value of a dollar is higher than a dollar (less money than silver) prices go down. When the value of a dollar is less than a dollar (more money than silver) prices go up. That's where we are now; less valuable money, higher prices.
I believe in the future, we'll have chips implanted under our skin. When you get a "paycheck" it'll just be a scan of your chip and there's your money. Then you'll go to the bank and scan your chip to put your "money" in your accounts....or take your "money" out.
This would eliminate material money altogether. No more backing system. Consistent value of a dollar.
The downfall is that it'd be a lot easier to make counterfeit "money" and a lot harder to catch the people doing it.
But, overall, I think it'd be better. You'd never have to worry about fluctuating prices or your money not being equal to what it should be when you travel.

Why do you treat your mom that way?
My sister's best friend's parents are going to Texas this spring break and they said Taylor (the best friend) could stay home if Cierra (my sister) stayed with her. Taylor is 16, Cierra is 15, there will no adults there the enitre week. So obvisouly, my mom said no. Then Cierra got pissed off.
Then Cierra decided she's not going with us to Arizona this summer, and that she's staying home. And my mom said that's fine because she'll staying somewhere that adults are present.
Then Cierra started yelling at her about how my mom "doesn't trust her" and some shit.
I think it's good my mom isn't letting her stay there. What if something happened that they would need an adult? They're only 15/16 years old...they're not old enough to stay home for an entire week without even someone coming over a couple times to make sure everything's okay, or at least having someone to call in case of an emergency.
I could understand her parents saying she could stay with us for the week, but just leaving her at home? I think that's a bit irresponsible. But Taylor is a spoiled child and she probably threw a fit till she got it her way, and Cierra is starting to act that way too.
I really wish my dad was still around, because Cierra would NOT be acting like this if he were.

What makes me any more of a bitch than you are?
I don't go out of my way to be mean to people. If I don't like you, I simply will not talk to you. I won't point out your flaws. I won't call you names (unless you give me a reason to). I try not to judge anyone because I know everyone has different situations. I know everyone goes through different things. I know everyone is going through something right now and what gives me the right to add to that struggle? Why would I increase anyone's pain?
But people are mean to me on a daily basis....people I probably don't know, or at least don't talk to. People pointing out my flaws (that I'm already EXTREMELY aware of). People judging me for whatever reason. People adding to the things that I have to deal with. (And no, I'm not going to tell you my life story because I don't want your pity, that's not the point I'm trying to make). People intentionally hurting (or at least trying to hurt) me.
And I've decided 90% of these people are girls. Little girls. I don't care how old you are, if you're acting this way, you are a little kid. These people also are obviously insecure. They are obviously jealous. Probably jealous because I'm not insecure. I love me. I accept me. And that doesn't mean I don't like you too.
If you're saying I'm bitchy and "full of myself" because when people compliment me I normally respond with "I know", don't. I say "I know" because I do know. I know my hair is awesome, I know I'm pretty, I know I'm nice, I know my art is amazing, ect. And one (or a million) people telling me otherwise isn't going to change that. One person's opinion isn't going to change the way I feel about myself. To me, I'm the most important person. To you, you should be the most important person. My opinions of myself are the ONLY opinions of me that matter. So you can say whatever you want to say about me, if you're expecting me to break down you're going to be waiting a while.
So, tell me, how am I any more of a bitch than you are? Seriously, please tell me.

Haters
(I know I’m going to get a lot of hate for this simply because it’s about haters, I’m prepared for that.)
You’re the one sending me hate mail and I’m the bitch? I’m the ugly one? I’m the insecure one? I’m the one that can’t get a boyfriend?
Being mean to me doesn’t make you nice.
I really don’t understand why so many people are so mean to people that try to be nice to everyone.
If I go out of my way to be mean to you, by all means, be a bitch to me, I deserve it.
But if I’ve only ever said nice things to you, why be mean to me?
If you don’t know me, why be mean to me?
If all I have to say to someone is negative, I don’t say anything at all. So why do you feel the need to voice your negative opinions to me? If you hate me so much, why are you talking me? Why are you watching my videos? Why are you stalking me on the internet? Unfriend me, unfollow me, unsubscribe from me, don’t talk to me in person. No one is making you talk to me, watch my videos, read my tumblr, or be around me. So if you really hate me that much, go away. Or simply tell me (not anonymously, because then I don’t fucking know who you are, bitch) and I will leave you alone. But the rest is up to you. If I’m leaving you alone and you’re still following me around on the internet getting annoyed by me, that’s your problem, not mine.

"Sexy"
I see tons of girls everyday trying to be "sexy".
Most of these girls are wearing as little clothes as possible and posing in odd (supposedly sexy) positions in photos.
In my opinion the girls that pose in normal positions and wear an appropriate amount of clothing are way prettier than the ones that are practically naked.
You can be "sexy" in a pair of sweat pants just like you can in booty shorts.
If you think the only way you're going to be appealing to anyone is if you're showing as much skin as possible, then I think you need counseling, because you obviously have some major esteem issues.

Crazy Grandparents Theory
My grandparents (on my mom's side) are extremely bizarre.
They do very strange things.
And even though I sometimes think they may have mental issues, I think there's a method to this madness.
I think they have a plan.
They have five kids.
Each of their five five has two or three kids of their own.
My grandparents move around living with their kids for a few months at a time.
Each kid they live with they help in some financial sense of the word.
I think their plan is to get each of their children living in a house (that the child owns) that the child wants to live in.
Both of my aunts in Florida own their homes and my aunt in West Virginia owns her home.
Now the only two left are my mom and my uncle.
Right now (as of this morning) my grandparents are staying with my uncle.
When they come back (which I'm sure they will) I think they're going to help my mom buy a house with a basement (because that's what she wants).
Then I think their plan is to finally live with my aunt in West Virginia...because she's the oldest.
No kids are living at her house.
My grandparents don't like kids.
They definitely won't live with us for the rest of their lives because not only do I have to move out eventually but my sister does too and she's 4 years younger than me. Face the facts, my grandparents will be dead long before my sister and I are both out of the house.
They won't live with my aunts in Florida because even though their kids are out of the house (or close to it) the kids will always be around.
They won't live with my uncle because his daughter will always be around.
So, the only other option is to live in West Virginia...the only place where the kids won't be around.
I think I'm the only one aware of this plan.
My grandparents don't tell anyone anything...like ever.
So the only reason I know about this plan is because I'm super observant.
I'm interested in watching to see if I'm right.
