What Happened To Girl Code

The only way for women to survive in a man's world.

What Happened To Girl Code
thefbomb

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.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
