I have always had a deep interest in gender relations in how men and
women interact with each other, their own gender, and themselves in the
social constructs that we create on a personal and mass societal level.
As a child I always found that I had very few females around me that I
felt like I could trust. That I could depend on. I hardly landed in
situations wherein I wasn’t being judged or that I could share my
deepest secrets with another woman without it being exposed to the general public.
We as women are taught from our very beginnings to compete, to despise each other, to put each other (and ourselves) down, from our bodies to our intellect, at any cost. All in all, we are a nasty gender. I wish women would take the time to help build each other, instead of tearing down the gentle souls within that we hide so well behind this hard shell exterior we have masks ourselves with.
