Male Birth Control

By zarinamacha August 19, 2017October 19, 2020
2017 / Health and Beauty

I think male birth control is a great idea. The reason it’s easier for women to take birth control is a) women give birth and b) women produce only one egg a month whereas men produce thousands of sperm per day. Hence controlling female fertility is easier. I think male […]

Does Prayer Work?

By zarinamacha August 18, 2017April 19, 2023
2017 / Philosophy

‘No’ is this answer, of course. No, prayer does not work. If you want something to happen or are afraid or need reassurance, praying is not going to make a difference. I used to pray all the time growing up. I still pray nowadays even though I don’t believe in […]

Romance is dead (poem)

By zarinamacha August 15, 2017October 22, 2020
2017 / Poems / Writing

Romance is dead, men are pigs, Women are crazy narcissists Gone are the days of wooing a lady Pouring a heart and soul out loud Romance is dead, marriage is over, Divorce rate is up every day Women now spurn every man they meet Making them all impossible to please […]

Is University Worth It?

By zarinamacha August 14, 2017October 22, 2020
2017 / Young People

I am so glad I left York Uni and didn’t stay to do a Philosophy degree. It would have been a waste of three years, and I’d probably have been too drunk and sick to go to my graduation. Although I am currently at uni, I see it as a […]
