Females are strong as hell

Current mood: See below

I’ve been thinking a lot about being a woman in 2016. A woman who has a PhD and a good job, but yet I still say “sorry” when I’m not really sorry because I feel like I should. Anytime I feel mad or sad or annoyed or nothing at all, I feel like I need to hide it so people don’t think I’m a “crazy” woman. I have personally experienced (and probably perpetuated) the feelings of jealousy among women, which causes us to tear each other down instead of building each other up. My response to all of this is, WHAT. THE. FUCK.

Why do (most) women still feel inferior when they’re clearly bad ass, and why do we still have to justify our feelings/thoughts/actions/beliefs/whatever? If I’m mad and want to cry, that’s fine. If I’m “pushy” at work because I want shit to get down, I’m not a bitch. And I shouldn’t preemptively cut down my ideas/statements with qualifying statements like, “maybe I’m wrong” or “this may sound stupid.” I know I’m not the only one to do this, either, and I know when I’m doing it, which pisses me off even more.

Please note that I grew up in a privileged home. I know that, and I’m not denying that. There is nothing my parents did or did not do to ever indicate to me that as a woman, I wasn’t capable of whatever I wanted to do. Usually my family was the one reminding me how awesome I am when I was struggling in grad school, telling me that I was smart enough and that frankly, I could do whatever the fuck I put my mind to.

I’m not really sure where I’m going with this. This is something I work on everyday, to make sure that I let other women know that they too can do whatever they want. And to support each other even when we don’t support ourselves. And that you don’t have to be sorry or feel bad for being too pushy or minimize your ideas/accomplishments. But I also struggle everyday to do and remember this. Because it’s hard and frustrating and uncomfortable at times. So women, just remember that you are fucking awesome and unstoppable and you have nothing to be sorry for, and we’re all in this together.

Bad Blood comes on the radio and I tell my mom, your jam is on! She starts dancing and I ask her what she's doing. She says, getting my jam on! I told her you get your groove on to your jam. But I'm proud of her regardless.
