      For most of my life up until last year, I had very long hair. It was beautiful, thick, wavy, “disney princess” hair. Then, last summer I decided to cut it all off and get a super short pixie. Let me tell you, I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life. Short hair suits my face better than my long hair ever did, as beautiful as the long hair was on it’s own. This is not just my opinion, either - my husband has made me swear that I will never go back to long hair. I’ve tossed out most of my old beauty products and cosmetics because I just don’t need them any more. With the short hair, my face now looks lovely au naturale. And to think that up until that point I thought I didn’t have the facial features to pull it off - just goes to show that you never know until you try it!

      Dear Men. Please take a page from my husband and learn how to compliment appropriately. He does not walk up to random women, EVER. But, if he is in a conversation with a woman already (perhaps a friend, acquaintance, or cashier at a department store right after he signs the receipt), he will say “by the way, I love that necklace” or “by the way, I think that blazer is great” or “by the way, I couldn’t help but notice that your watch is really cool!”, then he follows it with “anyway, have a nice day” or “where did you get it?”, depending on the appropriateness of continuing the conversation. He does not interrupt their day, expect them to respond in kind, or focus on a part of their body. He makes it very clear that it is a PASSING compliment and that nothing hinges on their reaction. Perhaps he understands these things because he is a Pre-K teacher, so he just uses the same rules that he tries to teach his kids. Be respectful and keep your hands to yourself. I am very lucky indeed to have a man like him to call my husband, because unfortunately his type is very rare. (My friends who meet him literally swoon). Basically, if it is something that you wouldn’t say to another guy without the expectation that the guy would think you were coming on to them, then don’t say it to a girl and pretend it is a compliment with nothing behind it! Would you ever go up to a random guy in a mall and say “hey, sexy!” or grab their butt? No. Because not only is it socially inept, but you could get punched or worse. It would be seen as an overt come-on, and if that guy did not want it or like it he would be able to react. Don’t treat women differently just because they are physically or socially unable to react. Not all women are sexually available to you, just like not all men are sexually available to you. That is the entire point of feminism - that men and women should be treated with equal respect. If you follow that rule, you will never run into trouble from anyone. The End.

      “which teaches that romantic love leads to sexual promiscuity, mismatched couples, and dysfunctional societies” OK, I’m going to blame that line on the original journalist copying and pasting from a bad translation of something that was said in Korean, because we Unificationists are hella romantic and completely unapologetic about it. My husband treats me like a princess on a daily basis, and it is going on six years since our mass wedding (July 2007 couples, wutwut). How many people get to say that they married their first and only love? Also, note to Buzzfeed…we consider the term “Moonies” to be derogatory. Our preference is “Unificationists”. I don’t expect that you are going to change the headline, but it would be really nice if you did :)
