Girls always patting on the back.

I was reading my wifes blog and usually check the comments as well. And it got me thinking. I am sure that this will cause most of you girls out there to wanna argue with me but if you are honest with yourself you will know it is true. And maybe most of you havethe answer to it.

Why is it that girls are always haveing a personal pep rally for each other. I mean it is really quite sickening at most levels and maybe it isbecause I am a guy and dont understand. But even for the littleset thing you girls are ..... " you go girl, you are the best and the world loves you" or " that a girl, put your big girl panties on" whatever the hell that means.

And again I am not tryingto pick fights, just trying to understand, but I thought that women were equals. On some level superior. And I would agree with that. Women are on the forefront of many important things in the world. WE are about to have a woman president and I am gonna be proud that i voted for her. But I think women are acting alot like some African Americans.

Women seem to always play the " we are the underdog" card even after you burnt your bra's. Just like you find some blacks that still think that whites owe them the world. There is a saying... confidence breeds sucsess. Women dont need the you can go girl mentality. girl power. How many guy power shirts you see out there? It is because it has been installed in the minds of everyone that men are superior. We have dominated the white house. Why? there are jsut as many men that vote as there are women. THere should have been a woman running for President every year for the past 30 years.

women need to stop playing the underdog card. If you best a guy at something be it a game, be it a political race, a job promotion over a guy or anything that strengthens the fair gender dont be suprised. Act like it is something you knew was gonna happen. The stong do not survive, the smart do. I will take brains over brawn any day. THis is one of the features that make Hillary such a great woman. She is not running as the first possible woman president, she is running as the confident best choice. Her confidence inspires me and it should be a measuring stick for how all women should act.

So save the "you go girls". Keep your " I am with you sister". Keep these firey statments in your head. Because in my eyes and eyes of maybe male bosses, peers, friends all it is saying I am walking into this meeting, conversation, debate, challenge thinking I do not belong here and should not win this but thanks to girl power I got ya. It plays the underdog card and in any kind of fight the underdog may get lucky a time or to but the confident one will come out on top more times then not.

This is not, and i repeat, NOT a girl bashing blog. Just some personal friendly advice on how to strengthen your slot in the world. I think women are in so many more ways much stronger then men. They may not be lifting the 200lb moving box but they are smart enough to get the furniture dolly and move it with ease without breaking her back. Women and men equal? Of course but maybe it is time that you guys show the confidence that says " you are not in my league" without saying a word.
