Arguing Won't Help Us As Women Achieve What We Want, We Must Work Together

Arguing Won't Help Us As Women Achieve What We Want, We Must Work Together
Mark Dixon

No, not all women are feminists and every woman has the same views as another. But this shouldn't divide us.

We should acknowledge and celebrate our differences.

We should be proud of each other for saying something and standing up for themselves.

Women as a whole are strong. We're intelligent, talented, and unstoppable, yet we continue to tear each other down based on different opinions. Not every girl wants to be popping out babies left and right.

We have the right to decide what to do with their bodies. People shouldn't pester or push others around based on what they believe.

If you want to be in the kitchen with his dinner plate, go for it girl. If you want to be the CEO of the company he works for, by all means, do it. Don't let other people's opinions make you want to change the way you live.

Everyone believes something different. You shouldn't have to be bullied into believing something else. If you want to change the way you think, do it for you.

We don't have to agree with each other, or even support each other's beliefs, but we should at least support each other for saying what we believe and standing up for it. Standing up for what you believe in is so hard in this day and age.

People are always shooting down beliefs they think are wrong simply because it's not like theirs, but we need to acknowledge each other's beliefs and support the fact that something is being said. No one listens anymore. We just argue. This won't help us solve anything or achieve what we desire. We're holding ourselves back.

When men see us arguing with each other, do you think they will take us seriously? They won't have to do anything but manipulate the arguments. We do most of the arguing ourselves and if we want to achieve something, this must stop.

Stubbornness is not a good trait; it has never been and it never will be. We have to stop being hard-headed and hear each other out. Again, you don't have to agree with everything that's said, but listening to others and their opinions will gain you respect, progress the argument, and eventually lead to a resolution.

We can't keep fighting each other like this. If we want to move forward, we need to change the way we communicate.

Instead of fighting with each other, let's fight for each other. Feminist or not, we need to stick together.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
