It is not a man. It is not a group of men. It's not lack of equality in the workplace. It is the woman sitting across the room from you. It is the woman who says she's your best friend. It is the woman you think is your sister in womanhood.
Why is this? Why is it that women love to hate each other so much?
We like to blame the men. We say that we're genetically engineered to be competitive towards one another in the fight for the man. But that's not true. Do you really think that a woman will spend hours getting ready to impress a man she already has? No. A woman will spend hours getting ready so that when they arrive at the restaurant, the other women will look at her and turn green. It is often said that women dress for other women. I am a believer. And I think the reason is because we all know: there is no harsher judge than another woman. And if we can gain the approval of the "ultimate judge", we've got it all, right?
We all know who the ultimate judge is, and it is not your mother, your sister, your aunt, your friend, your high school rival, or the girl sitting across the room. It is God. And if he approves, you're good. After that, just work on gaining the approval of the second toughest judge: yourself.
