Tattoos and being broken

Exactly a month ago this article was published online 5 Reasons Why Girls With Tattoos And Piercings Are Broken. As you might realise this article kicked off a massive debate where mostly women but also some men thinking that this is unacceptable.






The reaction to this article didn't surprise me at all for the fact that the article is written for men and therefore written in a more vulgar way than the fluffy cloud articles that girls read in women's magazines. One part of me is slightly disgusted by the language he uses in the article but there is a side of me that actually doesn't disagree with Matt Forney. I don't have any tattoos or piercings myself but the only time I've ever considered it has been when I've been unsure of myself and being so-called "broken". This makes me believe that most girls with piercings or tattoos were in a similar position when they decided to mark themselves for life.
If you choose to read the article and overlook the language you will probably understand that a lot of it is true. It has even been scientifically proven. Science Confirms Tattooed Women Are Indeed Broken.
So why this big uproar about a simple article posted on a website for men? Well to me the answer is simple; girls don't like to hear the truth and as a girl myself I can admit that. Yes, Matt Forney might be a bit harsh when saying that men should avoid girls with piercings and tattoos but he's speaking from his own experience and his own experience shows that these girls can't be trusted.
Matt Forney has also got threats because of this article. People have said they are going to find him and kill him which has led to him having to hide from these people. I'm not the one to judge but doesn't this speak for itself? No one with all their screws in the right place would threaten someone because of an article. They would possibly comment on the post and raise their opinion but never go as far as wanting to kill someone.
In the end this reaction comes down to the issue of people taking out their anger on the completely wrong thing. These girls are being upset for being called sluts, broken and boring not because someone has something against tattoos which is what the article actually is about. So maybe they should aim their anger at the right place instead of threatening a man who simply tried to entertain men with a slightly comical article.

The average but enjoyable Gatsby

I don't do film reviews, not because I don't like sharing my experience but because I usually don't have much to say about the films. However, after just finishing second year I feel more confident and I also actually have opinions about the Great Gatsby so I hereby introduce my first film review. I finished reading The Great Gatsby about 2 months ago and when I read it is was only for my own sake which meant that I probably didn't pay as much attention to the details as I would have done if it was for school as many people had too. However I think the film managed to stay quite accurate to the book. There were scenes in the film that probably could have been made shorter and some needed more explanations to make the audience understand what they actually contribute. I guess this is a problem with all film adaptations of books. It is impossible to get all the details in the book to fit into a film, especially when films nowadays very rarely are longer than 2 hours a...

Yom Hazikaron

As the clock struck 20.00 last night the whole world around me stopped. The thousands of people surrounding me went silent. A minute of silence so powerful that my body shivered. A whole country stopped to remember the fallen soldiers and civilians that we have lost to terror and war. A whole country being silent for the ones that cannot share their own story anymore but their absence speak louder than any noise anyone of us could make. I don't have my own story. I haven't lost a family member or a friend but I have lost 23,741 soldiers and 3,150 civilians to terror. Even though it wasn't my own brother each one of them left a family behind; a mother and father with an empty bed to say goodnight to, a little sister that will never have that protective older brother to defend her and an older brother that will never get a chance to give his brother advice on girl problems. Each one of the 26 891 victims has a story, a story that we have to pass on for those who cannot. A s...

Dear my unborn child

For almost nine months I've been carrying you. When I learnt that I was going to become a mother I was excited, confused and scared at the same time. How would I be able to bring a child into this world where there is so much hatred, war and horrible things happening. Little did I know. I wasn't bringing this child into a world with all that. I'll be bringing you into a world where we are fighting a war against something this world hasn't experienced before. You will be born into a world where hundreds of people even thousands die on a daily basis because of a virus, something unstoppable that has created a world where people are afraid of walking side by side. Where someone coughs and everyone around him moves away. People can't leave their houses without the fear of getting ill. You will be born into a world where no one goes safe. I always dreamt about holding you in my arms for the first time. Your grandparents meeting you and my friends and family seeing you f...
