Hey Vadgesters!

It’s my last post of the year, and that means I’m re-capping some of the things we’ve learned before we ring in 2015. Feel free to add some more along the way – thank you so much for making this an amazing year!

1. Our Vagina, Our Rights – Right?

The government debated some hot topics in 2014 when it comes to Women’s rights. This included abortion, whether birth control will be covered by our employers and even who we can marry. No matter what side you’re on (or not on) politically, make it your duty to vote in 2015. The right we have earned helps dictate the rights we are provided – remember that.

2. Your Favorite Rapper is Trifling.

If you listen close enough to the songs we jam to in the car – there’s some shady stuff going on. Take for example:

• Ty Dolla $ign – “Paranoid:” (“Two of my chicks in the club, and I know they know about each other…”) As fine as he may be, if you choose to share – be aware of your sexual surroundings. 
• Schoolboy Q – “Studio:” (“I can hit your type without the hat, put that p*%#y on the map…”) Hat = condom. Screening how you protect yourself based on a woman’s looks? If that doesn’t scare you – girl bye. 
• YG’s ex girlfriend/lover blasted him on Twitter this week for knowingly having herpes and not forewarning her. Whether this is verified or not – it’s definitely cause for alarm.
• The Eat a Booty Gang is spreading butt love across the nation, and rapper Kevin Gates says it cured him of Ebola. Know who you have going downtown on you ladies, because there may be a crew of them doing it to the neighborhood. 

What about the relationship issues our favorite celebrities had this year?

• Drake is the new “Mr. Steal Your Girl.” He’s been linked to so many women (some of which became famous because of it), I can’t even tag them all. Watch out for guys like him, ladies. Pretty sure he’s not just calling them over to cuddle.
• Karrueche + Breezy. Enough said.

3. Memes Will Make You Feel Like A Heaux

• First off, what is a meme?

   “Humorous image, video, piece of text, etc. that is copied (often with slight variations) and spread rapidly by Internet users.” It comes from the “Greek mimēma ‘that which is imitated,’ on the pattern of gene (Google, 2014).”

  For example: This meme by Peniel Enchil is all over the innernets being slaughtered. The original is meant to be uplifting to women and encouraging to those leaving old habits behind in the new year.

  

  The modified versions, not so much…

  

  In an effort to save space and keep viewers interested, these photo/text blasts are often super generalized and stereotypical. Even more often, they are the opinions of anonymous individuals or fame whores looking for likes, follows and shares. Chances are, the creators of  these memes were hurt by an ex or rejected by a love interest.

  Don’t get caught up in this trend, take them for what they are and laugh or shake your head and keep scrolling.

  Even if you are a heaux, that is YOUR business. Own it, and do it safely. 

   

   
  Kimi’s Tip: Don’t be afraid to take an occasional social media break and link up with people in real life.

  4. Because Grapefruit.

  While many of us were fascinated by Sexologist Auntie Angel’s skills – it was the sound that got me the most. Women all over the country were running to their local Whole Foods Market to pick up the sweetest grapefruit they could find. Why, you ask? Just. Watch…
