Amber light district

So Amber Rose is pretty much the best human being alive right now. Aside from being beautiful, confident and outspoken she has also become the new face and voice of modern day equality. As we all know, there is still a huge double standard when it comes to men, women and sexuality. A woman is still often looked down on if she openly admits to enjoying casual sex and one night stands. Some people still think that it is ok for men to be openly promiscuous and show no shame but that women should be reserved and only have sex if they are in committed relationships. Here's the problem with that theory. Women are human beings. Just like men. I know that is a mind-blowing fact but just try to let that sink in. Sex is a natural desire that most human beings have (no shame if you don't--that is your prerogative). It is how humans are born for crying out loud! Everyone is allowed to have sex as long as it's legal, safe and consensual.  

In this funny or die video, Amber basically puts the middle finger up to the olden day perception that women can only enjoy sex if it's within the confines of a relationship.

Not only does Amber strut around bragging about having a one night stand to the support and praise of passers-by but she also rejects the notion that women can't have a no-strings attached 'encounter' without developing feelings for the other party.

Between holding her own slutwalk and her instagram posts about reclaiming words like 'slut' and 'whore' she is now more than ever proving that she is and will continue to be a key player in the game of equality.

After all, if women are allowed to be as 'promiscuous' as men without shame, then words like 'slut' and 'ho' cannot exist. And though they will not go away overnight, we as women can take them back and make them stand for something. We can only feel shamed by words if we give them power. Take the power away and reclaim your sassy, glorious 'slutty' female pride.

I am Hulk! Hear me....talk about how fabulous my dress is!

So, earlier today the internet blew up when a picture surfaced of a Hulk cake wearing a princess dress. It may sound hard to believe if you have not seen it yet. So here you go:

So when I first saw this I didn't really pay too much attention. Cool. Hulk cake wearing princess dress. Then my brain woke up and realized that this is bigger than a unique (and let's be honest) hilarious cake. 

This birthday cake was requested by 4 year-old twin girls and their mum made it for them (despite earlier reports it was the Dad which many people now find ironic). In today's world where we saw the iconic transformation and public embrace of Caitlyn Jenner who has become a voice for the trans community, the discussion that gender should not define a person has become a bigger talking point than ever before. This story is another fine example of human freedom. Miley cyrus recently said that she doesn't see people being born as male or female. She says we are born human and then people decide who they are. It is great that people do not let their gender define them. It is no longer a black and white issue. It is not about girls liking pink and boys liking blue. Men and women can and will like whatever they want to. We are no longer allowing our biological design or social constructs to hold us back. 

We are teaching people they can be whoever and whatever they want to be. And the fact that four year-olds seem to grasp this while even some adults can't shows how much progress the world is making. Even if older generations don't get it, the fact that the youth who are growing up and will one day be running the country are being brought up in a world where people are more tolerant and accepting and feel free and confident enough to ask for superhero princess cakes is pretty great in my humble opinion. 

After all, we're all human so why don't we embrace that instead of worrying about why a boy wants to wear a pink dress and a girl wants to play football? Human beings are allowed to do human things. Let it be. And let's hope more parents take this attitude with their children.
