Writing Overload

In The Spectator, Joseph Addison talked about the talent of ridicule. Addison's opinion that ridicule hurts people as often as it benefits them is true. Sometimes people ridicule folly, and sometimes people ridicule solemness, but if they properly choose and use satire to laugh out something that the world will be better off without, they can make a difference.  Instead of mocking something considered decent, why not mock vice or folly? Not only will it change the mindsets of corrupted and foolish people, but it will also make a difference in the world. For instance, in the essay "I Want a Wife" by Judy Brady, Brady uses a sarcastic tone and one-sided opinions to criticize the unrealistic expectations of married men. By doing this, she strives to change men's views on women. She also points out that marriage is a partnership, not ownership. This benefits people, unlike the many times ridicule hurts someone: like something as simple as making fun of women drivers sayin...

I used to look at Legos and wonder, Why are they made specifically for either boys or girls? What was their reasoning behind it? Let's be honest: Legos are extremely overpriced sets that are useless if you misplace a single piece. The toys are also terrible: you can't play with them, and they fall apart. Also, if you finish building a set, you are done with them. They're too boring to build again. What's also annoying is that there is one and only one way to build the set, even if you try to build something new, the pieces fall apart. And the worst thing is when you step on a piece. I don't mean to step on anyone's toes here. I loved Lego. Secretly, I still believe that Legos are very fun to build. But the question that comes to mind is, Why were they made specifically for either boys or girls? Because making a set with which everyone can play makes more sense. Why go to all the trouble to make different sets for different people? I get that they wanted a target...

Women are bad drivers. You've probably heard this sentence at least once in your life. If that annoying car in front of you is doing its tenth three-point turn to get out of a parking spot, you most likely thought that it was a woman driver. Though stereotypes often peg women as bad drivers, statistics show that men are worse drivers. A 2020 study of road fatality data found that men cause twice as many fatal car accidents per mile driven as women do. Not only are men involved in more fatal accidents, but they also tend to exhibit more aggression behind the wheel. Men also receive 70% of all traffic violations. Unfortunately, this percentage is way too close to the percentage of people who think women are worse drivers than men. Usually, when people think of the stereotypical woman driver, they think of someone who is confused, easily harassed, and just a bit incompetent. Not just that, they are also quick to assume teachers and nurses are women, expect that women will take care of...
