Income Inequality Towards Women By Mel

One of my favorite shows on TV, “Boardwalk Empire,” which was broadcast on HBO, shows examples of wealth and inequality towards women. The series is set during the Prohibition period of the 1930s. Most women accepted their financial status low compared to their male counterparts. However, some women’s suffrage groups urged Congress to pass legislation to support equal pay. Fast forward to 2015, women play a critical role in the workforce today but they still do not reap the rewards as men today. Ana Radelat mentioned in her article, “Connecticut women victims of pay gap” that “According to 2012 Census figures, the median annual salary, for all occupations for a man in Connecticut was $47,887, while a woman earned $37,483.” Wealth remains concentrated and rigidly locked in the hands of men due to wealth and politics. This generation has single mothers carrying the burden to support their families. For example, a single mother working at Walmart making $11.00 an hour will be stagnated for a very long time. For one, she has to work overtime hours to supply her children with the necessities to survive. Consequently, overtime hours equals less quality time with her kids. Unless she is on Section 8 or has some alternative supportive system, her family will lag farther behind. Medical bills, less affordable housing and transportation can have a huge negative impact on a struggling mother’s financial status. Fair distribution of wealth and income among women will reduce debt among Single mothers and families alike. The key is political power.

Don't Thirst Your Way Into The Rejected Pile By Mel

Men, you have the power to change. Your standard of living and philosophical mindset based on thirsty behavior is not setting a good example. Classy women will throw you automatically into the rejected pile if they sense this way of thinking. What concerns me the most is how brothers market themselves onto the dating scene and the assumption they make when they speak to a beautiful woman. Money flashers believe it is a walk in the park that they can get any woman they want. Most thirsty men try to impress women with their financial assets. They believe this technique will force a woman to throw herself at their feet. When fantasy becomes reality or they get rejected they proclaim that a woman is stuck up which is far from the truth. To be honest, no sophisticated female wants to be whistle, bark at or grab in an awkward way from a stranger and I do not blame them. I have a daughter, and I expect men to treat my little princess as a human being when she gets older, not an o

Date Smarter, not Harder By: Mel

Way too many guys pay attention to women based on THEIR attraction level. They will waste their time and hard earned money on a woman who is not attracted to them at all. It's always a better experience to go out with someone who's just as excited and enthusiastic to be with you compared to someone who you have to warm up. You should want to spend time with women who appreciate and value your time. Always pay attention to her action, not what she says. Date smarter, not harder.

BE who you ARE, not who the World wants you to BE By Mel

Life is full surprises. When you’re out there in the field you get a sense that all eyes are on you. That oil to your engine is confidence . Every ounce in your body engages you to stay well groomed, sell your image, build your vocabulary and practice on your art or goals in life. That’s a very attractive trait to have and I will tell you why. The love you put inside yourself shines externally which creates this invisible aura. It creates offensive projections defined as the way you carry yourself or how you interact with people combine with defensive measures such as keeping your guard up and not allowing people to take advantage of you. We all have our moments when we navigate in unfamiliar territory. For example, giving your time and effort to someone who shortchanged you or getting laid off from a promising career just because you challenged the status quo. Sometimes you feel betrayed but let me share something with you. To succeed in life you must fa
