“The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn.” — Gloria Steinem

It seems like the world we live in is dominated by social taboo. Where even the strongest of people fall to dangerous social norms. Women ideally and happily sit in vanity and blankly stare forward as a shotgun of animal tested makeup explodes on their face, damaging their skin and poisoning their organic minds. We ruin our bodies to play look-a-like with celebrity clones, who's health and work both stink of low self confidence. It's not enough for my generation to learn, we must unlearn the teachings that the world around us have blindly taught. We must all choose to rebel against toxic morals and lethal values that destroy imagination and kill originality. As I watch my generation sink into the inevitable quick sand, I stay afloat. I recognize what society has taught us about gender, race, sexuality and beauty reject it; I can only wish that someone else hears this cyber, universal howl of rebellion. Do you?
