So you love to talk about new
beauty products and that meal you had on your blog, but you’ve come across a
subject that not know everyone agrees with.
How do you know when you should be politically correct? How do you present your views without
offending anyone?
Here are some
topics that people often have trouble posting about:
Feminism
Animal Cruelty
Abuse
Political Views
Anxiety
Animal Cruelty

I’m Jacky and my blog is Do It For The Irony, a life+style blog. I have talked about my views on touchy
subjects like the objectification of women in advertisements and how we can
actually fix it. I’ve included some
images from my most popular posts! I
have also been involved in some blogger chats, discussing this issue.
The answer to the previous
question is, “Don’t worry about it.”
There will always be someone who is offended. Chances are though, someone will identify
with you and relate. The biggest and
most caring responses I have ever received on my blog is on posts where I go
out on a limb and express my views. So
go for it. If you’re not comfortable
with it just yet, talk with a blogger friend or on a twitter chat and ask if
they think it would be appropriate! The
blogger community is extremely supportive of writers and can help.
My number one tip for these
posts is to communicate your idea clearly.
Use examples, lists, whatever you need.
I, personally, like to use bullet points for my most powerful and
relatable points. That makes sure that
your views are translated easily and transparently to your audience. You don’t want your readers to misread you
and think you meant something totally different! So double-check your phrasing.
Also, what is the point of your
post? Are you promoting your beliefs or
are you sharing a piece of yourself? I
ask that because provoking people may get you views in the short run, but it
may not help you in the long run. Just a
thought!
I hope you enjoyed this post
and that it helps you to exercise the loveliest thing about the internet –
freedom of speech. It means a lot to
me! Email me your post if this inspired
you to talk about that one thing you can’t bring yourself to hit publish
on! I’d love to see it. If you’d like some more wild thoughts of a
funny creator/style person, find me at http://doitfortheirony.blogspot.com/
or on any of my
social media! I’m always on twitter omg.
