We’re All Like Other Girls

My friend Miranda and I were talking about this a few weeks ago, when I was first toying with the idea of this post, and she so beautifully said, “I look at all of you [my girl friends] and I see pieces I want to take from each of you.” How brilliant is that? Here we are, afraid to be like other girls, when, instead, we can focus on cultivating meaningful friendships with women that we admire. Instead of looking to other women through a fearful comparison of who we don’t want to be, what if we, conversely, looked to other women for inspiration of who we do want to be?

Here’s How You’re Contributing to Misogyny (Without Even Knowing It…)

Learning how to embrace inclusive sex positivity as an act of feminism, on our college campuses especially, can be the butterfly effect for helping to mitigate misogyny. Recognizing when our own comments are rooted in internalized misogynistic social norms can prevent us from continuing to partake in that kind of culture, and help us shift towards a more equal, sex positive society.
