This past week, I was losing my motivation for working in the studio. We have had one critique, with limited feedback so I have been stuck in my own mind. Homesickness was also not helping, seeing all of my best friends meet up for a reunion at our sorority house was probably one of the hardest points here so far. I was just at a standstill waiting for our much needed week off. My roommate and I finally found something that we were passionate about when watching recaps of the third political debate. I am not one to share my political views, but when it comes to the way that women are perceived and treated I tend to find my voice. Overnight the hashtag 'nasty women' went viral when one candidate used that phrase during the debate. It was a phrase that every woman was able to relate to. Many women have been called nasty or bossy, and this is just another one of the numerous examples of the unequal way women are treated. When a woman is independent and stands up for what she believes in, she is considered bossy. When a woman is affectionate and dresses to show off the body that she worked so hard to get and feels confident in, she is considered slutty. The inequality needs to stop, and I believe that we can get there soon. And with that I stand by the 'nasty women' movement because I am a nasty woman.
