In This New Age of Feminism No One is Above Respect

Call me crazy, but when I am nice to other ladies, I would like them to be nice back.

I cannot stress this enough, women supporting each other has to be something that is considered cool again. No, I am not going to come at you with all that artificial feminism crap. I mean, let's strip down. No race, political party, or social class involved. We are all women dealing with the same things: periods, men, and life. So it comes down to the real issue. Why are women so petty? Just because someone is different than you, when did that suddenly make it okay to be mean to one another?

I have this coworker who makes it a point to put me down any chance she has. Since she is above me in the work place, I make sure not to upset her. I started thinking today if this is what it has come to? When someone treats us badly we are just supposed to sit there and take it. As women, we should all be on the same team, we are all there selling one specific product and working towards a common goal. Working together makes things easier, that's for sure, and working against each other makes everything just that much harder. I am starting to understand the workplace and why there are so many issues with it, especially within this new surge of female power.

Another thing that upsets me is when you see a girl you think is super pretty, so you smile and they don't give a smile back. They actually give you a rude face. Yeah, that is not okay. I like your eyebrows and I want to make it known. Accusing me of only liking them because you are of some ethnic origin is completely rude. I don't wanna make this piece political, but honestly, it's what I do. I wish women in general would stop acting like if you aren't a Hillary-loving-vagina-wearing-democrat you suddenly aren't part of this idea of a proud strong woman. That is how hardcore new age feminism makes me feel, like I am on the outside. Correct me if I am wrong, but that seems to be the opposite of the goal of new age feminism. I want to bring back the idea that you can be a feminist without being a Democrat. This article in general is highlighting the fact that women have become so different and diverse that we are even willing to stake our lives based on who we vote for. That's wrong, let's be nice and listen to each other, Democrats and Republicans alike. And to the Democrats, I am talking to you: do not antagonize me because I like the Trump family, that is my choice.

I think I speak for us all when I say girls should really work on being nicer to each other because no one is above respect.

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.
