The Internet

As you may have gathered, by the fact I've not shut up about it, our WiFi is broken. I'm not one of those people who can't live without the internet- often we go to the countryside for walks and pubs and out in the wilderness of Yorkshire, the internet does not exist and I cope fine. But I've massively noticed, now that I don't have easy internet access, how much other people rely on me having the internet. And this really sucks...

My Opinion on a Big Matter...

There's quite a big issue that I've wanted to write about for quite a long time but I've never really known how because it's quite a big thing that I'm not sure I'm ready to tackle yet and that's gender equality. I still don't think I'm fully ready to discuss the whole subject in full depth but I experienced something very recently which has both riled and inspired me. So go grab yourself a brew because this is going to be a bloody long post.

Strong, not Skinny.

As you know, as I've not shut up about it for the past week, I went away recently. The plane journey wasn't very long but I bought myself a magazine (Heat to be precise) for entertainment on the hour long trip and there was an article in it which really infuriated me. The aim of the article is to promote women being 'strong' and 'athletic', not 'skinny'. What a load of bullshit.

Dear Sam Pepper...

Before you read this, I just want to say that I wrote this before the accusations of not just harassment, but assault, abuse and rape came out. Therefore it may not be as respectful to victims as it should be but I do still believe Sam Pepper is scum and should not be allowed with at least a 1 mile radius of any living organism.

Dismissing Disney Stereotypes

I get quite a lot of stick for still watching Disney films- probably because I'm not still 4 years old- but still, who doesn't love a good Disney Princess film when you're feeling sad, right? Anyway, I've seen so many things online about how much of a 'bad example' these princesses are to young girls and how 'anti-feminist' they are and it really gets to me because this is coming from people who haven't seen the films in the past 10 years.

Growing Up

Urmmh, so this is late..
I've very sorry I didn't post last night. I've had a stupidly busy week, which I know is no excuse, but I only got round to writing it at 10pm at which point, I didn't think anyone would be awake to read. Again, I'm very sorry and hope it was worth waiting for...

Self Confidence

I feel very uncomfortable and completely out of my depth writing about this but it is something I feel extremely strongly about and maybe my opinion will have some form of impact on someone who reads this?

Opinions on the internet

This week, what I really wanted to write about was the Mcbusted tour 2014. I thought, considering it has just finished, it would be a fitting little tribute to the awesome show the guys have put on for the past couple of months. However, when I started writing it, I began to realize how difficult it was going to be to put my opinion across without causing an argument or offending someone so I've scrapped that idea and instead I'm going to give my view about opinions on the internet.
