In a society that runs on social media, women more than ever have access to people continuously judging them. We are always being told, "Be this, do that, don't be this, and don't do that."
Well you know what I think about that? Screw it.
In the famous words of Beyoncé, "I ain't sorry."
Women should be told that they are beautiful and that "no" is always an acceptable answer. So here is a list of 50 random things that I decided women shouldn't be sorry for anymore.
