As a woman, there are things that people say that make us want to physically harm them. While we have come a long way, there is still more work to be done!

1. "Oh, it must be that time of the month."

God forbid we get angry or make a snarky remark without being accused of being on our period. And maybe we are, but that does not give you the right to make that remark

2. "When are you having kids?"

Maybe I don't want kids. Maybe I do. Maybe it's none of your business!

3. "Are you sure you can carry that?"

Yes, I am a woman. No, I don't need your help! When I do actually help, it is because you are dumb enough to do it for me.

4. "You should wear your hair down more!"

Yeah, how about no. You trying wearing 12 inches of thick hear when it's 90 degrees outside.


5. "Calm down."

Oh, you want me to calm down? How about you go screw yourself.


6. Catcalling

Because that is what every woman wants to hear when looking for a man. NOT!

7. "You can't drive, you're a woman!"

Says the one who races another car at a stop light with a cop behind them.


8. "Go make me a sandwich."

The only way I'm making you a sandwich is if you are between two cars.

9. "You have too many shoes."

How does the amount of shoes I own affect your quality of life? Oh wait, it doesn't! So don't worry about it.

10. "You look fine without makeup!"

Do you think I wear makeup to impress you? NO! I wear it for myself. I really couldn't care less what you think!

11. "You should smile more."

Smiling means that I have to act like I like you. Which I don't.

12. Real women have _____.

Curves? A boyfriend? Perfect eyebrows? No. Real women don't put up with this crap.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
