"Men are scum." I've lost count of the number of times I've heard this said. But what a lot of people don't know(or don't say out loud) is that women are scum too. We-women-need to do better. We need to learn to stand beside, not against, each other. I hope this change starts with you.

It's hard being a woman. Everyday, we wake up and go out into the world-a world that makes us feel that we are less-and we have to struggle to survive. It's tough. It's always tough. And it gets harder when people don't understand why we have to keep telling our stories and calling out the people that have hurt us. It's harder for us when we do tell these stories and are told to move on. But we won't stop. Pain won't hold us back. And maybe one day, society will see us for the human beings we are.
