Week 17

"Girl hate is not hating someone who happens 

to be a girl, it’s hating someone because 

we’re told that, as girls, we should hate other girls 

who are as awesome as or more awesome 

than ourselves. That there can ever only be 

ONE cool girl, ONE funny girl, ONE smart 

girl, etc., in a circle of people ... I’m close 

friends with a girl I used to have some serious girl 

hate for. Recognizing what a wonderful person she 

is not only made me realize how idiotic I was 

being before, but it really did make me feel 

better about myself. Sometimes we can convince 

ourselves that pointing out flaws in others makes us 

feel good, but ultimately, those moments of pleasure 

are fleeting. In the long run, they get you in the 

habit of looking for flaws in everyone, including yourself."
