America is Sexist

I'm not one to be violent towards women. However, why is it a rule that men shouldn't?

Women back in the day fought for all of this equality. And with all this Rosy the Riveter "We can do it!" hype, you'd think women would want to EQUALLY equal to men.

BUT, that's not the case. And America is not helping one bit.

If a man is caught peeping through a woman's window he will be called a "peeping tom" and be arrested. If a woman is caught peeping through a man's window he could still be arrested for "indecent exposure." NOT FAIR.

Then there's all this violence stuff. Women are allowed to hit men all they like. Sure they'll be taken to jail if anyone would like to press charges, however it's not that big of a deal. It's the same as if a woman were to strike another woman.

But when a man hits a woman? WATCH OUT. Everyone is going to go crazy. It's the worst thing a man can do. Why? If a woman is costantly smacking you, do you not have the right to defend yourself? Pushing can only do so much when she is lunging at you.

I'm not saying that if a man feels the need to smack a girl to just go out and do it.

It's just not clicking to me why women want all this equality, and dish it out, but can't take it.

(This is not referring to all women because I'm sure some of you agree).

I'll also bring up some unfair examples:

1. 
   
   Chris Brown got a lot of crap for what he did to Rihanna. I don't necessarily agree with what he did. (Although I do think she must've been doing something she had no business). He took it a bit far, and he suffered for it. BIG TIME.
2. 
   
   Then there's Liza Minelli. She beat her husband on a regular basis. Where's her criticism?
3. 
   
   Then there's Tiger Woods in his situation. Everyone can come to the same conclusion that his wife was beating him up, and THAT'S WHY he crashed into that tree and fire hydrant, because he was trying so frantically to get away from her. Instead of her going to jail or getting criticism for her actions, everyone is more focused on what he did to deserve it. (No one cared to bring up what Rihanna must've been doing). And Tiger's wife also is being backed by females. Saying her actions were justifiable.
4. 
   
   THEN there's the Jersey Shore incident mentioned before. People are hitting eachother left and right on the show. They don't get no crap. But the one time a man stikes a woman, all hell breaks loose!! JWOWW (a cast member of the show) is clearly seen striking the man repeatedly afterward. Did she go to jail with him? No.

I'm sure my point is being taken into consideration now with my 4 examples.

I'll say it again:

I'M NOT SUGGESTING MEN SHOULD HIT WOMEN. I JUST DON'T SEE THEY BIG HYPE WHEN THAT SORT OF SITUATION OCCURS.

Jersey Shore Got Knocked Out

I'm sure everyone has seen or heard about the show, Jersey Shore.

It's another reality show. This one is based on young people spending their summer at the Jersey Shore which is a big deal in the Italian community on the east coast.

There has been a previous exposure of the shore in a True Life episode.

The show is basically an east coast, Italian version of the Real World. It's 8 strangers, living in a nice house, partying, clubbing and driking, and have a secure job.

On episode 4, while the housemates were out having fun, they met some wierd annoying guys yadda, yadda, yadda.

Eventually Mike "the Situation" (..........) is buying drinks for the dumb guys because they kept taking the drinks that Julio, their co worker, was buying for the housemates.

Mike wasn't saying anything to the main guy taking them while Nicole "Snooki" and Julio were.

Snooki keeps talking trash the guy and eventually the man socks her square in the mouth.

Right away everyone begins manhandling him and Jenni "JWOWW" even lands a few punches on him. He is immediately thrown out of the bar and into police custody.

Brad Ferro is a gym teacher from Queens, New York. He just got his certificate for teaching the same month of the incident.

What a dumb man. I'm sure he knew that doing what he did would result in some big trouble. AND I'm sure he notice the big camera crew filming everything before he performed the action.

The girl is like 5 feet tall. Did he really need to do all that?

He's very lucky the police were there to protect him if you ask me, and he was very quick to tell the officer arresting him that he got punched in the face (probably referring to JWOWW's blows).

This incident was very unfortunate for both Brad and Snooki. I'm sure Brad is out of a gym teaching job forever since this is a national television show. (Not to mention a criminal record).

And poor Snooks could barely talk, laugh, eat, and brush her stank teeth.

If it was really that necessary to hit her (which is wasn't because I would've been yelling at him as well) he could have just given her a little shove.

Florence + the Machine- Lungs Album Review

If you like soul, indie, artsy, blues, or all, then you will definately enjoy Florence + the Machine.

Florence Welch is from London. It is said that she was discovered when she dragged her now manager into the bathroom at a club and sang an Etta James song to her.

Florence + the Machine's album, Lungs, is full of creative, fantasy lyrics, a variety of different sounding music (although her voice remains the same wailing), and most importantly A HARP!!

Florence's voice is one of a kind. It's amazing how young, skinny, caucasion girls can sound like big, black women.

 Each track on the album has its own sound. There are already 5 singles off of the 12 track album, with another song that was never released as a single being used for promotion commercials for television shows.

Each track seems to highlight a certain instrument. The lyrics all tell stories with interesting words.

Florence hopes to have a career like Bjork and PJ Harvey.

She has also been compared to Kate Bush.

This has to be one of my all time favorites.
