We, as women, are accountable for each other. We have some sort of unspoken body, a commitment and a duty for the well-being of all women. This is something that generally isn't recognized by women, but it really should be. All women should have each other's back if nothing else other than for the reason that men won't. We live in a man's world, despite what society would like to think. We live in a world where everything revolves around the male ego and a males choices. The world is hypocritical. A man can do anything that he wants and he is looked at as a male. If a woman does anything at all she is instantly attacked, generally by other women.
I think we all have those memories of being in middle school and there is that cute boy that every girl likes who starts dating the popular cheerleader. In this situation all the girls act cheerful and class, right? Absolutely not. We all have those flashbacks of 'hey this guy likes her and not me so I hate her simply because girls are petty. If there is another girl that problems can be pinned upon, blame will be sent there before it's sent to a guy any day. But as girls shouldn't we be the ones to understand how being a girl is hard? Shouldn't we as girls get that a majority of guys out there are terrible? Shouldn't girls be understanding that in some form every girl is a victim of someone? In a perfect world, this would be the case. Unfortunately, we as women have a problem with sticking with our female counterparts.
Maybe it is more biological than we like to think, protecting territory and keeping our place in the pack. Something about men just takes sweet women and turns them into petty creatures. We, as women, should be above this. But sadly we aren't. Sadly we look for excuse after excuse to tear each other down because we are too insecure with ourselves. We attack each other's speech and tear down each other's bodies all at the expense of making ourselves seem better. We call each other names and we turn to pettiness and jealousy to fuel our actions. Why do women behave this way toward other women? Don't women have to go through enough just by dealing with the heartbreak that is accompanied with males?
Maybe if women actually stood by each other the world would be a better place. Maybe all of the hate and self-comparison would fall away. Women, let me tell you, you are absolutely perfect. You may not be a Gigi Hadid or a Selena Gomez, but you are beautiful from that twinkle in your eye to the messiness of your hair. No woman should ever be made to feel like less than that, especially by another woman. Men put women through enough; don't let women do the same. I don't want girl code. I want a group of women who vow to build each other up while surviving in a male world. I want woman code.
