If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times, when will the hateful madness end??? When will the battle of the bitches cease to exist? I honestly am borderline embarrassed to be a woman some days, because all we seem to do is tear each other down to lift ourselves up.
For as long as I can remember, society has always had a way of being at the forefront of the women against women movement. For some ungodly reason, the idea of women getting along and supporting one another is a real problem, and the biggest problem of them all is that as women, we’ve fallen into the trap. We have forgotten what it means to be a part of a sisterhood who stand by one another in their time of need and protect each others hearts.
I’m not saying it has to be a massive love in where we all are besties, because lets face it, not everyone is meant to get along. I’m a big believer in realising that you don’t need to like everyone and everyone doesn’t need to like you. I think its completely fine to dislike someone, its human nature. Whats not ok is using that dislike to drag someone down, to make yourself feel like a better person. Because, lets face it, if you actively go out of your way to make people feel like shit, because of your dislike to them, you are a despicable human being. You lack the moral integrity to just accept how you feel and move on. Your actions are childlike and down right embarrassing.
Making fun of someones appearance, their weight, their job, their hair style, their lifestyle, just because you think its your god given right to, is not ok. How about trying this, get your nose out of their life. Get your nose out the things they do, and you will likely find that you will be consistently less offended by their existence.
I have seen some really fucking horrible things being said on social media platforms by women about other women. Calling them fat, sluts, whores, skinny cunts. The list is endless. And the worst of it all is, this is coming from women, not girls, not teenagers. Full grown women who should fucking know better!!!!! If they have daughters, what sort of example are they setting? What sort of values are they teaching their children? They are opening degrading and treating others like rubbish and showing their children that its perfectly ok for them to do the same. I honestly weep for the next generation, that are being brought up to think this behaviour is ok, when plain and simply, its fucking not. The mean girl mentality is getting completely out of hand and when its coming from full grown women, its even more atrocious because simply put, we should know better. I can only imagine they have been through something similar themselves, so it baffles my mind that they deem it appropriate to do it to others.
I have a son. A son I’ve taught to treat others how you want to be treated. Treat girls with respect and treat your brothers with the same. I would be disgusted and ashamed if he ever treated someone in this manner, because that is not how I have raised him. I have taught him its ok not to like someone and for them not to like you. I am far from perfect myself, I’ve learned the hard way that my actions have consequences, and speaking horribly of people is only going to come back and bite me in the ass. So I take the high ground, I take the path of least resistance and move on from what others think of me, because I’m not going to continue to lower myself to that level and make people feel the way I have been made to feel.
I know the world isn’t going to change overnight, society will not change when we are so competitive with one another. Unfortunately, this is the new world order. BUT, that is no excuse for allowing it to continue. SO, how can you help be the change you want to see in the world? Its really not hard. It goes back to the simple values our parents taught us as children, if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all. If you can’t bring yourself to say something nice, keep your mouth shut. You don’t know the power of words, and how much they can destroy someone. If you don’t like someone, don’t make it your personal mission to make their lives hell, you just end up looking like a giant fucking asshole in the end.
