Being a girl has become a constant game of sabotage. We compete with each other, become jealous of each other, fight with each other, talk about each other, the list goes on and on but what is becoming very apparent is that try as one might, some girls just can't avoid this. I used to question why this was, why girls would get jealous, or territorial, or possesive for seemingly no reason, and for some reason while steaming a jug of non fat milk tonight, stewing about an issue that has been driving me nuts for quite some time, I had my revelation:
Strong, confident women will always be the targets. It doesn't matter how nice we try to be, how friendly we are, or how non threatening we try to make ourselves be, if you have confidence, there is always going to be some insecure girl in the room who decides that the only way she can combat this is to make you the "bitch". At this point in my life, I've fought it long enough. We can keep trying, but some things will never change. I'd rather be the confident "bitch" than the immature and insecure girl who can't find a better way to feel better about herself.
The real pisser to the entire situation is when the insecurities of these girls infiltrate your friendships with other people and suddenly erode them to the point of nothing but total bitterness and resentment. At this point, the confident girl loses the battle to the insecure one and becomes the bitch. And the insecure girl wins, because people always seem to assume that the confident "tough" one is the one picking on the poor little insecure girl, when really, confidence has become a bullseye in the middle of your back, begging for someone to stab it.
Ladies, it's bullshit. Lay off each other. We should be fighting for the same things together, not fighting with each other! Confident girls shouldn't be punished or labelled, and the insecure and meek should not inherit the world.
