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.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
