Stop Shaming Women For Being Different Than You

Bring each other up. Do not tear each other down.

An explosion of response articles came out when a writer decided to address girls who were wearing such revealing swimsuits and another writer addressed “YETI butts” as not having self-respect. Nonetheless, we are living in the 21st century where women are finally speaking up for what they believe in and exercising their freedom of speech, so why do so many women still find the need to shun other women because of their beliefs or actions?

I, personally, will never know. With all the Women’s March becoming so prevalent, we need to start accepting all women and their ways. Women need to stick together. We already have men tearing us down, do we really need other women doing the same? I do not think so.

Those articles that are bringing down women are just meant to shame then, but to what expense? Do you, as a writer of those articles, really feel more empowered because you just bashed a certain type of woman?

We live in a society that has been belittling women since the beginning of time because we are the “lesser being.” Therefore, we have to fight twice as hard to stay above water. With us already struggling to prove we are just as equal as men, there is no need for women shaming women.

Honestly, why do you care so much that a woman is wearing cheeky swimsuits or taking pictures of their butts? It really is not hurting you in any way. I can understand that it gives women a bad reputation that girls do that, but if you do not like it, then just do not give in to the trend. If you are concerned about what exposure like this will do to young girls, do not worry. Let their parents worry about it.

All women need to stop shaming each other for what they wear. Let that confidence show in a way that you feel comfortable doing it. To me, you’re not disrespecting yourself because you wear a two piece to the beach.

Let us stick together and bring each other up . We are all different and have gone through various difficulties in life. Because of that, celebrating differences is the bests thing we can do. Wear what you want, express yourself the way you feel comfortable and always remember, looks fade and knowledge stays.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
