Why Women Need to Stick Together

1. We know each other's struggles. We know what it's like to be moody, to go through a breakup, to have cramps like we're dying, to fall for the asshole guy.

2. We actually know fashion. We don't just say "you look great" because your ass/hips/boobs look sexually appealing. We say that when the colors flatter your skin tones, you look put together, you look classy- and we know how much effort that took to achieve.

3. We've all been harassed. While your boyfriend can sympathize, and your guy friend can defend you, we actually understand the degrading feeling of being catcalled, or getting a booty-call from a guy we actually liked, or being hit on at work by our superiors.

4. We know our strengths. We know we can be smarter, stronger, and more successful than a guy if we put our minds to it- and we don't feel threatened or "less manly."

5. We're maternal. Even the least maternal of women will admit they care. We have a nurturing, caring side, despite how much we try to hide it. Whether that means holding your best friend's hair while she's over the toilet, eating way too much Ben & Jerry's because your friend can't do it alone after a break-up, or listening to the same story a thousand times... we care.

6. We multitask. We can run empires and still be there to drop our kids off at school. We can be sorority women, run charities, hold jobs, and still be successful premed students. We are the creators, and queens, of multitasking.

7. We are our own worst enemies. By using the words "bitch, slut, sororistute, etc" to each other as lighthearted nicknames, we give the impression to men that these words aren't to be taken seriously, and that they are allowed to do this, too. This needs to stop.

8. Lastly, we are worthy. But by putting each other down, we hold all of us back. That being said, we must also hold each other to a higher standard. We must encourage all to be the woman they want to be, and never feel superior. If a woman wants to be a doctor, we should praise her until she reaches her goal. If a woman wants to be a mother, a wife, we should also praise her until she reaches her goal. But we should encourage meaningful, independent women and jobs, because we are all worthy of success and our dreams.
