Well, just how child appropriate is it?

The things that I laughed at as a child are much different than from what my six year-old  sister laughs at today. The television shows and the things she views are much more mature than what a kindergartner should be watching, but the shows she watches on Disney and Nickelodeon are "child appropriate". Televisions shows that display violent scenarios and much more mature language than what a children's audience should be absorbing should be "child appropriate".

Now the term "child appropriate" is used loosely to describe televisions shows that come on early in the morning before noon when all of the big kids (10-14 year olds) wake up, or On Demand within the "Kid and Family Entertainment" section.

I remember having to sneak and watch Ed Ed and Eddy; my mom would not allow me to watch this show due to the fact that some of the language in the show was not age appropriate. But, that is where the irony presents itself, because it was considered appropriate... Just not to my mom.

Although I do begin to realize that times are evolving and children grow up much faster than my generation had. Many others will argue that there is no need for censorship within the censored. Phrases that they use in those particular shows such as "it's an uphill battle" or "take a stab at it" are used due to the children's shows ADULT WRITERS; which is why it presents itself as a non-issue. The North  York Women's Teachers' association suggests that we use alternatives to describe situations that are kid-friendly.

But, not everything that is kid friendly is necessarily "kid friendly."  

No One Man Can have All that Power

Blogging at 11:22 PM

Common trend every week, unless I just so happen to blog around 10. Best work happens at night; let's get it.

I don't think that people give women enough credit for the things that they do. 

I mean tthey co-create every human being on this earth for crying out loud. 

Think about all the things and norms that women have challenged just to be a part of this world and people still continue to fight against equality.

Example. 

Feminism.

It is not some man-eating cult full of single women who've had their hearts broken. 

It includes men and women both fighting for the advancement of our women in this world. 

It's a beautiful thing really.

"So why don't we have menninism?"

Because men initially have had a leg up on us since the beginning. 

And not only that, but menninism was something created to mock the feminist movement; which sucks. Could they let us have something please. 

I mean God created Adam first. 

But people seem to forget that Eve was created because Adam needed her. 

It's important to love our women, just as much as we love and appreciate our men. 

An Invisible Tattoo

Everyone's marked. 
whether it be by what you're wearing, or what's permanently on your body. 
birth mark.
tattoo.
scar. 
You're Marked. 
It's not always a bad thing, it's just that society trys to dictate whether it's good or bad. 
Tattoo's in the work place are frowned upon if they're visible outside of your work attire, because they don't look "professional", or depending on what type of ink you got, it has a negative connotation to what the business is all about. 
Even people that have scars on their body have been marked. Could be from self harm, a gnarly surgery, or an accident. When they're visible, people try to pick apart why you got them just by looking at you, and after they've decided how you've gotten your battle scars; that is how they see you. 
Everything that is done to the body tells the story of what you are, who you are, and what you've been through. 
I could almost compare it to being naked, because everything is exposed. 
I just will never be able to grasp why such markings in life have to be diagnosed by one glance without question, or any further analysis from the marked. 
Everyone's tattoo's are meant to tell stories;  they're meant to reveal who you are. I don't think it's possible to live unmarked because there is " no unmarked [man] or woman" (Tannen 556), and it is not a bad thing
