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.

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
