The other day, I was standing in line at CVS minding my own business. The older lady in front of me had oh, about 50 coupons, so needless to say, I was occupying myself by flipping through the dirt-rags lining the register. I was snapped out of my "Jen Cries As Angelina Swears to Have Another Baby With Brad" article by two young ladies standing in the line next to me, as I caught the tail end of their conversation. "It looks so much better on you, obviously" said the perky 20-something year old blonde to the other perky 20-something year old blonde. I looked over at them and realized that one of the blonde's and I were wearing the same shirt.
"When did women become so bitchy?" is a question I often find myself pondering. There doesn't seem to be a day that goes by where I don't see, hear, or experience one woman being catty towards another. It happens at work, with friends, and at random CVS's when we're least expecting it. I don't get it.
As a "girl's girl", I am a part of a dying breed. I've been lucky enough to have been exposed to some amazing women in my lifetime and find that my relationships with girls are almost always more meaningful than my relationships with guys (there are a few exceptions of course). I have a deep respect for women and all the bullshit they have to deal with from juggling careers, families, and social lives to the non-stop perfect body pressure to fighting for equality in a world that clearly sees us as the less able sex. Don't get me wrong, I heart men, but when it comes to everyday struggles, I think that women have to work a little harder to get where they want to go.
So, women, it's time to cut the crap. If we spent half as much time being productive as we do with make up, hair, and making fun of random chicks at CVS, we would have already taken over the world by now. And, let me tell you, world domination rocks; if you've ever watched Spartacus on Starz, you should know that having males as your slaves is nothing short of hot.
