Sex
- Be proud of yourself; never feel ashamed. Feeling proud of yourself and your sexual decisions in a world that tries to makes you feel ashamed is a revolutionary act.
- Fuck double standards. Fuck it being okay for for guys to hook up and not girls.
- Get educated in compressive sex ed. If abstinence only is being taught, fight it.
- Have real orgasms by any means necessary
- If anyone you know is flashing their tits for no other reason than to get a free shirt and some attention, talk to them about it.
- Take control of your sexuality. Be safe and smart.
Pop Culture
- call sexist ads and commercials out
- reject Maxim, Playboy and any other form of pop culture that tells you that you are not hot enough
- value yourself out for what the media doesn't, as long as it's not just valuing yourself for your ability to look hot in a bikini and be available to men.
Reproductive Rights
- find out your pharmacies policy on giving women birth control and EC
- remember that anti-choicers at heart are just folks horrified by the idea of premarital sex

Beauty

politics
