Screw Feminism, Let's Bring Back Sisterhood

It's time to close the gap between women.

Screw Feminism, Let's Bring Back Sisterhood

Screw feminism. Really. We've twisted and turned it into this "in your face," aggressive, superiority movement. It's caused men to be confused about their role and how they should treat us, but even worse, it's created a separation between women.

Some live and die by feminism and everything it's become today, while some have turned away and refuse to associate with the word.

This division between women should be something that's talked about. It's a result of the strong and constant feminist movement, yet it's not something to be proud of as a population of women.

So screw feminism, let's bring back sisterhood.

Or whatever you want to call it - an empire of womanhood, girlfriends, sisters, etc. Let's start a movement where women look to other women for encouragement, inspiration, and support. We all lean on each other. Let's close the gap between women.

At the end of the day, we're the only ones that know and understand the struggles and triumphs of womanhood - so why the need for a strong, intense, aggressive movement like the feminist movement we see today? If it's turning women away from embracing their femininity, why don't we change anything? If it's causing a division between women all over - why don't we acknowledge it?

Girls, it starts with us.

It's simple. Reach out to girls who look lonely. Seek companionship in women all over, near and far. See what blossoms, and what was only meant to last temporarily. Compliment the stranger who's awesome style you've been admiring for the past 10 seconds. Write a little sticky note of encouragement to your roommate just to remind her you're proud of her.

It's the little things, it always has been. One compliment passed, encourages another. It's a chain reaction.

Let's embrace our femininity in its entirety. That means appreciating each woman for who they are and what they have to offer; gracefully, respectfully, genuinely, and kindly.

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.
