Let's face it we live in a patriarchy society. Have you ever noticed how many times a day you say sorry to someone or something that you did for no reason? It happens way too often. I catch myself saying it all the time. I am trying to be more aware of how often I say "I'm sorry" when I really don't need to. So, I change everyone to be more aware of when they say sorry when they did nothing wrong. So here are some examples of when girls and women should stop say sorry.
1. When someone, usually a guy, bumps into you.
NOO! The guy usually bumps into the girl, but the girl always says 'sorry'. Girl, you did nothing wrong, so next time, just keep on walking.
2. When asking for more food in the dining hall.
It's common knowledge that when girls go up to a food station in the Dining hall, the server usually gives more food to the big football players then any women. If you're hungry don't be afraid to ask for more food.
3. Saying sorry for coughing or sneezing in class.
You can't help a bodily function. Just say excuse me and move on.
4. Speaking in class.
Research has shown that teachers tend to give the boys in the class more time to speak during class then girls. You shouldn't be afraid to speak up in class and show off your intelligence.
5. Interrupting or cutting someone off.
This happens all the time and it's no ones fault that you might get a thought in your head when someone else is talking. Just acknowledge each other and move on.
7. Crying at any point.
The classic reason for a women not getting any job or promotion is that she might be too emotional. You know what, your emotions are important and anyone who tells you they aren't is dead ass wrong.
8. Saying "no".
Never be afraid to say 'no', it shows that you have a strong sense of self and know what your believe in.
9. Not looking put together.
No one is perfect. Everyone has their bad days and you shouldn't feel bad for not wanting to put makeup on or do your hair.
10. Time for yourself.
I know this as much as anyone else. Everyone needs their 'me' time, you can totally play that card whenever you feel you need it.
11. Being upset about something.
Emotions are the way humans show what they are feeling and without them our world would be very boring.
12. Asking for help.
This is something that many people struggle with and anyone would really cares about you will want to help you out.
14. Your insecurities.
They can be a bitch to battle on some days, but everyone has them.
15. Feeling loved.
Humans thrive off of the feelings of being cared for and being wanted. There is nothing wrong with that.
