Tomi Lahren DESTROYS Feminism’s View Of Women, While Also Talking Real Girl Talk

I love Tomi Lahren. I love that she fearlessly stands for the truth even when people attack her for it. She does it with grace and aplomb that I would have LOVED to have when I was her age. For all the carping about Millennials and how wimpy and selfish they are, there are many in the younger generation who don’t fit that description. Tomi is one of those people.

In this latest heated political season, you may have noticed how divisive it’s been (that’s an understatement). A lot of people that I would normally agree with have said and done things that I don’t agree with. And I’m not just talking about big-name political pundits – I’ve even had to diverge with people within my own family on politics. I can’t remember a time when that happened, honestly. It hasn’t put a strain on my relationships with them. It just means we find other things to talk about instead.

Some of this has made me wonder if I’m doing the best that I can do. Have I done the right things and have I made the right decisions? As a woman, I get a lot of messages about how I need to be X, Y, and Z to be happy. All women do. Those messages can also come from within – in fact, the more potent ones do. It’s not about what models on magazine covers look like or even what self-appointed feminist betters proclaim that Real Women ought to be and do. Most women find their insecurities in the things they tell themselves.

It’s just something that we’re hard-wired for, I think. No matter how many people in our lives we have encouraging us and and cheering for us and lovingly correcting us when we do slip up, we still sometimes feel like we’re not measuring up for some reason. I think feminism preys on these very normal feelings of inadequacy and turns it into something more sinister – like it’s all a product of women being oppressed because some dude “manspreads” on the bus or whatever. Yet another reason why I think modern feminism’s full of crap.

This brings me back to Tomi Lahren and one of her recent “Finals Thoughts” videos. Rather than get into politics and the fighting that has laid a lot of us low lately (at least, it has me), she talks about life as a young female – particularly the young single ladies. I’ve barely been married six months (after dating my now-husband for not much longer than that), so it wasn’t that long ago that I worried if I’d be “Forever Alone” and seriously afraid of it and nervous that I’d completely screwed my life up because I didn’t do some tiny, easy-to-miss thing five or ten years ago and I somehow missed my Grand Opportunity for a big shot, life-changing thing. There are some days where I think I’m going to wake up and find out it was all a dream and I’m still living in that chilly basement apartment working part-time and trying to figure out What Went Wrong.

I truly appreciated Tomi’s “Final Thoughts” here, and my guess is that some of our readers – male, female, single, partnered, whatever – would too –

Wherever you are in life, don’t settle. Be your best and work toward your own version of happiness, whatever that may be. You know what it is, so go for it!
