Catfight: The Disgusting Truth

I grew up in a society highly encouraging women to respect, support and help each other. I remember hearing about several organizations promoting one thing -- the rights of women. I am not writing to enumerate those rights. This is to let the whole world know how times have changed and how women, who are supposed to look after other women, are now becoming the antagonist in each other's lives.

The unhealthy competition happens everywhere. 

Occurring everyday in the workplace where backstabbing, sourgraping, and defamation is very prominent. You wear a skirt or something that makes you feel good about yourself will only get you judging looks from other women. Looks that are probably bore out of massive envy or bitterness that they cannot express themselves like that because they are too scared of what other people would think about them.

The unnecessary competition exists between friends. The comparison between lives, husbands or boyfriends, jobs, children, apartments, hairstyle, purses, lipsticks and the tiniest and shallowest of all things is disgusting. People can be greater or lesser. Some may have more, some may have less, by choice or by fate.  Deal with it. Stop comparing because life is not a venn diagram.

This year, stop getting involved with someone else's husband, stop staring at women who chose not to "conform", stop comparing yourself with others, quit spreading rumors and start setting a better example and LIVE! 

The catfight is a disgusting truth. My dream someday is for it to be completely gone. I am not a misogynist. I am a woman who is both the antagonist and the protagonist of my life and others' but now that I am in complete desire to be totally free and happy, I am making my own tiny steps towards change.
