So, I wanted to start off by saying that not every post in this blog will be for fashion. Sure, the majority probably will be, but not all of them. In fact, some of these may simply be photos I've taken just for fun, for clients, or just blog posts about the world in general.
I will talk about politics at times and encourage you to do the same as I will always welcome thoughtful talk on the topic as long as you are doing just that. Talking it out. I believe fully that is the key to growth, and if you cannot talk about differences, try to come to common ground, or even try to understand that the world is not just black and white then you are part of the problem of today's society.
There are too many people who simply want to tell you what to believe in, tell you that every little thing is oppressive, or that the current generation is ignorant and too soft. And it's something that both sides of the field are guilty of doing.
While I identify as a feminist, I do not identify as a mainstream feminist. I prefer to think of myself as more of a factual feminist. I understand that sexism, racism, and bigotry is present in everyday life. And I will do everything I can to stop such things if I see them happening, but I also know that both men and women are oppressed. Not in the same ways, but they are.
That being said, I will never force someone to believe in what I believe in. I will not give into mainstream media and believe things blindly without looking into it first. I do my best to research what I look into, I do my best to find the facts of things before making assumptions, and I know I'm not perfect. I get things wrong. I will admit that if someone brings that to my attention.
I urge everyone to be wary of the media and just double check your information. Don't just blindly believe what you hear/are told. And most important of all, stand up for what is right, for what you believe in, but do it in a way that would make people proud. You don't need to be violent to make a difference, you don't need to give into the anger and hate.
