I recently had an interesting conversation with a group of ladies.

Actually it was more of an intellectual rant, as I was growing weary of the conversation that was going on.

You know, the usual woman hating conversation that seems to be common place.

“She’s so fat, she needs to lose weight”.

“Why doesn’t she do something with her hair?”

“Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah”

Would you kindly shut up…please.

Why do women do this to each other? Why do we sit around judging each other so harshly, yet at the same time we get mad at men for doing the same thing?

If it’s not work choices, then it’s how many kids someone has. If it’s not about kids then it’s about weight. If it’s not about weight then it’s about silly beauty routines that are seen as normal.

Everything about women is up for debate, criticism, and judgment.

Where’s the freedom? Where’s the choices? Are choices only valid if they are the same choices that you would make?

In the end, we all need to realize that by espousing hatred for some women’s choices, we become the misogynists we are trying to overcome.

I wish I could take credit for that quote, but I read it online.

So the next time a catty fest starts, don’t join in on the meows, do us all a favor and be the one to say “just shut up…please!”
