So I saw these things on my insta, and I had somethings to say about it...
          	https://www.instagram.com/p/CNI3umOl7__/
          	
          	This is what I said: 
          	Sexism is evil. It shouldn't matter what gender you are (or if you have one at all,) it's not ok. Bullying and harassing and raping is not ok. Stereotyping is not ok. Everyone can be sad, or hurt, or insecure.... There is not one thing in this world that belongs to one gender. Anyone can cry. And the fact that we teach boys and men that 'crying isn't manly' is bullsh*t. Crying is crying, no matter what.
          	
          	And it's so sad to me that people think men can't be vulnerable. It's not only pathetic, but it's harmful. Saying men cannot cry is like saying women can't get angry. 
          	
          	When was crying labeled as a sign of weakness? When was it decided that showing your vulnerability was a bad thing? 
          	
          	Why should anyone have to hide their feelings because people say so? 
          	
          	
          	Stop this. Stop sexism. It's not about men being able to be sad. It's about everyone being able to be sad. It's not about women vs men, it's about women And men. Both. 
          	Equality.'
          	
          	The second thing was this: 
          	https://www.instagram.com/p/CMJwzLIDbtF/
          	
          	Here's my thoughts: 
          	'Yes, we should educate men. But it's not just men who have the ability to hurt another. 
          	
          	We should educate Everyone. And protect everyone. 
          	It's not just the women who get attacked and harassed. It's not just the men who do the attacking. 
          	
          	Every single person in this world has the capability to do good and bad things. However you decide to act is your choice. 
          	Things like this aren't confined to one gender. 
          	Nothing is.'
          	
          	What are your thoughts? What do you think about my opinion?

@EJean1317   Thank you - your final comment made me grin a lot!
            
            If you like my writing style, you might like my other completed stories too, but they are all very different from each other too, so I appreciate they might not be your thing  :-)

@InnerFyre I'm just glad I found it, because it truly is a masterpiece. 
            I always have something to say (usually like a joke, or reference), but I sometimes chicken out before posting my comment.  
            I do plan on coming back to it soon, though, and it's too bad I can't vote more than once.

@EJean1317   The fact that you even read it and decided to press the "vote" button is wonderful for me. 
            
            I generally only comment on stories of authors I "know" on here, and certainly don't expect others to comment on mine.  I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed it.  :-)

This morning my sister came to me and said, 'Pedophiles are trying to get themselves into the LGBTQ community!' 
          We had an entire discussion about it. I don't think they should be allowed. It's illegal for a reason! Now I know that gays and others started as illegal, too, but a man and a man is not nEAr as bad as a 40 yr old and a minor. (40's not the only age, it's just the first that came to mind). I have a friend who's scarred for life because of her pedo father. She cannot sleep at night because of him. And it wasn't just her--it was her sisters too! I'm sure some pedos are nice, and shit, but having sex with a minor is illegal. Some would agree that until 18, people aren't able to make rational decisions. Others would disagree, but some for certain choices, yes. 
          This is just my opinion. 
          What are your thoughts?

EJean1317

@Insomniac_Muffin Yes! I agree. Age gaps are fine, just as long as they are both over 18. I also think that a lot of teenagers (not saying all) don't do well under pressure, so when people (pedos) put them in that position, it's hard for them to think and know what's right and what's not. 
            Also I think it's wrong for people over 18 to have sex with people under 18--especially if they're not even mature yet. It's none of my business, really, but when children are being harassed, and raped, and hurt, then I feel as though I have to step up. Say something. DO something.

@JJackiJ1317 I agree with everything you said 100%. I'm sure lots of pedos are nice and while being attracted to minors, don't put this into action because of the law or fear that they would be coercing them or pressuring them to do something that they definitely would with more rational reasoning. However, many pedos don't care about these things and are even okay with forcing underdeveloped children into doing things with them so people with this reputation should not be allowed in the LGBTQ+ community; especially as many would use that fact that they are in the community as an excuse to defend themselves for doing things to minors. While many teens are capable of rational thinking, most put in situations with them would be easy targets for manipulation and or abuse so I think if they want to date older guys they should wait until they are at the very least 18. I'm all for supporting age gap couples and be yourself and do whatever you want as long as you: have consent, aren't hurting anyone or doing anything illegal

So a few days ago, I'd just recently gone to a county fair/carnival. It was my first time for a lot of things. For one, throwing darts. Two, earning prizes by playing a game. First time on any sort of ride (besides a merry-go-around).  I rode the Zipper, the Zero Gravity, and the Ferris Wheel. 
          I stuck with my sister--who was afraid of heights, and I have minor motion sickness--and it was waaay more fun that I thought it'd be. I didn't even throw up! 
          What was your first fair, if you've gone? How was it? What did you do?

@Thebruceinator That's horrible!  I would never!

I got to the poncho total strawberry festival, and they had this big ride that threw u up in the air and made u come back down really fast, and the worst part is that I got on it thinking it would be fine, but I started feeling really sick in the middle of the ride, and that’s when my stomach was like “Okay, say hi to ur lunch!” 
            It was not fun.
