Girls, I have some questions for you.

  1. Are you single?

Nope, been with my boyfriend for 3 years.

  1. What do you look for in a man?

Humor and intelligence.

  1. Do you think men should pay for the Check when out on a date with you?

No. My boyfriend and I sometimes split, sometimes I cover, sometimes he does. I like to go out more, so I foot the bill more often.

  1. Do you like chivalrous men? Do you believe in chivalry? Would you like it if a man opened the door for you, lent you his jacket?

Chivalry is a stupid term. I prefer politeness. And yes, I appreciate anyone, man or woman, holding open the door for me. And if someone else is at a comfortable temperature and can afford lending me a jacket, then that is very nice. But I would not ask a man to give me his jacket so I can be warm and he ends up cold.

  1. What do you think of polyamory? Would you join such a relationship?

Polyamory is fine if it works for you. I wouldn’t. I bond very strongly to one other person and have always been a close-circle-of-few-friends person. It’s important that my partner and I be each other’s only lovers.

  1. Do you support abortion? Death penalty? Legalization of Drugs?

Morally no, but I support it being legal. Nope, it’s not our place to take away someone else’s life. Yes, I support legalization of pretty much all drugs; your body, your choice.

  1. Are you a feminist? If so, do think you there are any flaws in the feminist rhetoric? If not, why aren't you a feminist?

I would identify as feminist. One major flaw is that feminism does focus on Western women’s issues, which I would say are not as bad as some women in Africa or the Middle East.

  1. Do you want to get Married and/or have children?

Married, yes. Children, possibly.

  1. What do you think of the likes of Amber Rose? Nagging attention whore or sensible activist?

I literally could not care less. I’d guess she’s just a human being with complex emotions and motivations and it’s not my place to judge her.

  1. Do you think fat women are beautiful? Do you think fat men are beautiful?

Physically? Depends on the person. I’ve seen fat women rock it and fat women who don’t carry it well. Same for men.

  1. If your husband treated you well, and was basically perfect, but wanted you to be a stay-at-home mom, and would support you emotionally and financially, would you agree with it?

Nope. I’d be bored. I’m also getting my degree for a reason.

  1. If you had a daughter and after she had found out her husband cheated on her she decided to leave him and her children, what would you say?

I know that the idea of dealing with him during a custody battle is scary, but your children deserve to have you in their lives. Please reconsider leaving them.

  1. If you had a daughter who wanted to be a porn Star, what would you say?

Why? If it’s for good reasons and something she actively wants, I don’t have a problem. I would want her to be safe.

  1. Why do you think some women never get to become CEOs? Do you suffer from sexism at your workplace?

Some women don’t have what it takes. Some do. I do think it’s possible the women who don’t only are passed over because there are higher standards for them versus for men. I go to university, and no.

  1. Do you like Being called Pet names? Do you feel offended if a man whistles to you if he finds you pretty?

By my boyfriend, sure. I don’t mind that. If a man whistles at me on the street, I feel good about myself but creeped out by him, and I want to get as far away from him as possible. The first time I got wolf whistled I was 13 and I was happy, but looking back… what a creep!

MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION - Do you think women are making any mistakes in modern relationships? What kind of mistakes? Do you think women nowadays are better than they used to be 100 years ago?

I think people make the same mistake, and that is wanting a relationship. It’s okay to feel lonely, but I see too often that people’s standards are dreadfully low, so they date the first person who will date them just so they can have a boyfriend or girlfriend. You should not be chasing a relationship, but a person. I think women are not better or worse, and same goes for people. Relationships are different, which means the mistakes that can be made are different but no better or worse than the mistakes 100 years ago.
