Feminist University: A Quick Lesson in Equality


Imagine living in a world where the sexes aren’t treated equally. Even the most unimaginative souls will have no trouble with this because we do in fact live in a world built on double standards between men and women. Nowhere else is this more obvious than a college campus.




Slut-Shaming


The inspiration for this blog came solely from my observations walking around my college campus. I have seen slut shaming, a wide variety of misconceptions on sex, and the way gay and transgender students are treated on my college campus. These observations bother me and if they apply on my campus, then I’m sure they apply to others around the country. My goal is to write about these things that no one wants to say, but are things that need to be said.  

My name is Abrianna and I am a freshman nursing major at Stevenson University. Now looking back, I am privileged to have attended a high school that was so welcoming and diverse. Many of my peers now didn’t have this same experience in high school. I believe this contributes to my ability to be more open minded and objective to the things I see and people I meet. 

Unlike other feminist blogs, I want all of my posts to directly relate to things on a college campus. I am a college student so all of these posts will come directly from someone who is living this lifestyle.   

I also am a Certified Nursing Assistant so I do have some background knowledge in medicine. This will come into play in later posts on misconceptions on sex and differences in female anatomy.  My hope is that you take away the ability to understand another perspective on equality or reshaping your own perspective after reading this blog.
