Ladies,

Instead of criticizing one another, we should be empowering each other. Now I know we hear this all the time, but many of us may not know what it means. A lot of us may not even realize we're putting a woman down.

When you see a girl out in public and you like her outfit, tell her.

If you like her hair, compliment it.

Don't tell a woman she's a bad mom for wanting to focus on her career and don't tell a woman that it's wrong that she doesn't want to have kids.

When you see a woman wearing heels at a shopping mall, applaud her.

When you see a mother struggling with her kids at the grocery store, tell her she's doing a great job.

Too often we criticize each other because we wouldn't do the same for ourselves. We call other women bad mothers because we don't agree with their parenting techniques. We shame young women who become mothers claiming they're throwing their lives away, and we tell older women they waited too long. We call each other a slut for exercising our right to say yes, and we talk about our friends behind their backs.

We're flirting with each other's significant others, rather than letting them know that their S.O. isn't faithful. We act as if we are in competition when in reality, we are on the same team.

As women, we need to stick together, compliment and empower one another.

Spread the love!
