Family Guy

I was watching Family Guy tonight and I noticed a lot of women references. They related more towards Lois and other females but nothing towards Meg. I have noticed that in many upon many episodes that they treat Meg poorly. She is also a female but she doesn't get the "respect" from guys as the other females do in the show. I'm curious as to why put down Meg all the time. She is a female, she has all of the female parts, it just confuses me. The only episode I can remember is when Meg and Lois went south for a spring break vacation. Meg showed her chest to thousands of people and then people started paying attention to her. Is that really what this world is coming to?? Women HAVE to show their breasts to recieve attention from not only males but females too. It just disgusts me watching these "funny" shows now after taking this woman studies course. I finally get all the "humor" behind the jokes and they are not funny.

Magazines

While waiting in the check out line to purchase a few Christmas gifts, I see rows upon rows of magazines. Towards the bottom are the childrens magazines with fun pictures to color and other things. Next level up were cooking and house magazines. The next row up were for the tweens. That row had all of the Edward/Bella, 1 Direction, and those "big" media people on the covers. A few rows up, at the top shelf were the "Must be 18 and over to purchase" magazines. I was shocked by how many of the titles and heading stuck out to me. Most if not all were mentioning something about women's bodies. I understand that the magazine needs to make money but I know for a fact that if I brought my younger sibling into that store and she started reading those headings, my parents would flip. I feel like those sorts of magazines should be in an adult store or in an enclosed room like at the Family Video. The adult movies are in an enclosed room and there are cameras and mirrors that watch who walks into the room. This way I, and several others including parents, do not have to explain to their child or younger sibling what "Titties" or other nasty words at their age means.

Any thoughts about where these magazines should be located?? Or am I just preparing for the worse when I see those sorts of "18 and older" magazines sitting out in the open at a local, family store.

Date Night

My boyfriend and I have a date night once a week. It usually consists of going out to dinner followed by seeing a movie. Typically when we go to dinner, it is a restaurant like Olive Garden or a sushi place. Somewhere nice where we like to dress up and spend time together. The past three weeks that we have gone out to eat the waiter or waitress always hands the bill to my boyfriend. Yes he pays but I still pay every once in a while to keep it fair. But the past few weeks I took it upon myself to pay because it was my turn. Every time, the waiter/ waitress gave my boyfriend the bill and I had to snatch it away.

Why is it that every single time the bill is handed to my boyfriend? Do they think I am incapable of paying a dinner bill? Do they think that the man should always pay? Why not set the bill in the middle of the table and then whoever pays can just take it. I do not understand why they have most waiters/waitresses have to be sexist and give the bill to the male of the relationship.

A rollercoaster of hormones...

I live in a house with three other females besides myself....so a house of four women under one roof with one bathroom. It is not a walk in the park let me tell you that. Every week somebody is on their period and the hormones in the house are outrageous. Why is it that only women's hormones go up and down so quick? I did not sign up to live on a rollercoaster. I would have to admit that I have my ups and downs but I definetly do not target anybody specifically like the other females in my house. I have seen this in other female houses. There are ALWAYS fights, drama, and crying. But when I walk into my boyfriend's house which have all males under the roof, there is never any drama, no talking behind each others back, nothing like what happens in a all girl house.

This is more of a help blog. What should I do to have the hormone rollercaster slow down and take a break. It isn't safe for anybody in this house.
