My Confusion and I

I'm a woman who believes in equal rights. No person should be judged based on sex, gender, race, nationality etc. According to many I could therefore be called a feminist and the definition of the term supports that. However, I often choose to be open about not being a feminist but an equalist for one simple reason; many women seem to think they should have some kind of privilege because the society isn't equal. The reason for why I believe feminism has gone too far is due to the fact that as a woman in today's society we are told that we are the victims. I very rarely see myself as a victim, not when it comes to the fact that I am a woman at least. It has become acceptable to say that you didn't get a job because you are a woman and call any man who ever shows an interest in you a creep just because he checked your body out. Let me tell you something, sometimes you don't get a job simply because you are not the best person for the job and not all men are creep...

I am glued to my phone. Or I used to be at least. With the technology now-a-days I felt that I had every reason to have my phone in my hand constantly because I could always be contacted, as if I had enough friends to actually be contacted constantly. According to research by Pew Research 67% of smartphone owners in America check their phone even though they haven't heard it or felt it vibrate. This behavior led to an addiction, at least for me. I became so obsessed with my phone that I would check if people had been online and seen my messages and if they had I wondered why they hadn't answered me. In short, I expected people to be as glued to their phones as I was and I expected them to constantly wanting to talk to me the second I wanted to talk to them. So I made a decision, I turned of the internet on my phone. Not just the mobile data, no all of it. I turned my smartphone (that in my opinion only makes us dumber) into an old fashioned phone where the only functions I ca...

After my last blog post I received some comments about me having doubts about my faith. Some people tried to understand why I dislike religion at the moment, some tried to convince me that there are good sides to the religion and the strangest reaction is the one I want to actually discuss. I was told that the reason for me having doubts was because I haven't found my soul mate to keep me on the right path. I was even invited to a course about how to find your soul mate and true love in Judaism. To be honest, this didn't surprise me since it's not the first time I've been told that the only way to be happy in life is to have a partner. Well in that case then, it's completely right that I'm not happy because who could be single and happy at the same time? Well apparently you're not meant to. So I thought I was going to clear some of these things out. Soul mates don't exist. There is no such thing as the one. I might not be experienced but I've met a...
