Women igniting, uniting, and fighting

There's a too common theme among women that as women we rarely discuss. Yes people; jealousy and friendship. Women are known to (well let's face it) not trust each other. Many of us spend so much time on competing with one another. Whether its beauty, men, attention seeking, studies, or whatever; women are constantly on the battle field with one another. Now why is this? Why is it that instead of trusting our sisters and creating meaningful relationships with one another we judge, fight, and compete? We're so quick to say she's ugly, she's this, she's that; without truly getting to know the individual. It shows a lack of self esteem that we have lost at some point in our lives.We are under constant scrutiny. Held under microscopes by society. Now we even do it ourselves. I'll admit that for many years I did not have a group of women or girls that I confided in and befriended. Truth of the matter was that every time I'd try, drama occurs. We begin like little crickets in the background judging one another within our smaller groups until it becomes a out right war of words. There was always a problem with me being friends with some boy that my friend likes, or the " I heard you said something about my hair the other day", or just the plain ol' "you're too different than us". So I stood as far away from women and then of course I had a lot of guys friends which made me a "whore" apparently. Is it not funny, the way we've turned on each other over of the course of history? What I ask with this post is that we take a look within ourselves and question what it is that makes us turn on one another? What keeps us at a distance with other women? What can we do to begin uniting, and fight the real enemies. NO IT IS NOT MEN! It's our ideals, societies traditional view on women. I think the first step is to come together to talk about these issues that plague us as women and begin to love what we are.Women keep your heads up, your fists higher, and those hearts lifted.
