I’m kind of a feminist. Not a huge one, just moderate. If I have to pick between books, I’ll choose the one written by a woman.
That being said, I’ve been hearing a lot of stories about people being competitive in law school, especially girls. This is disheartening to me.
Honestly, women have had a pretty hard time through history. Not as bad as the entire jewish race, but bad enough. But every now and again, one woman would decide that she wasn’t going to sit on a fainting couch and breed, and it would work out for her. What always gets me about these examples is that usually most other women didn’t like them. They would wonder why this one woman couldn’t just be happy with what she had and shut the hell up. These heffers are worse than domineering, sexist men. I honestly think these women are the reason it took us so long to get the vote and enter the work force. I really hate these broads.
I was reading an article where one woman said that you can’t be successful or be a leader without being a steward to other women. She illustrated by saying that she had to make calls that mattered in her career, and that the women on the other side of the phone gave her a chance, answered her questions, etc. She said that she was their legacy. Her advice to all women was that if you want to help yourself, always make yourself available to other women.
However, most women don’t help each other out. Rather, they bring each other down while scratching their eyes out. For example, my mother’s deceased best friend, Leslie, had a mother just like this. She would give people recipes with parts left out so that no one could bake a cake like her. I would have killed that women if she did that to me and I found out. What is the point?
Helping each other out is especially important in law school. Law is still a man’s world. That may sound antiquated, but it’s true in this state. Men will take the time out to help out other men they see themselves in rather than try to identify with a woman. (But, in their defense, I would, too.) At our most recent Legal Association of Women meeting, we met with several women with law degrees to see what they had done with their J.D. Three out of four of them were 40 or over. All of them said that when they were at school they were either the only girl or one of a small group. Newsflash: 20 years is not that long ago. We’re still out numbered by men here at LSU and especially out in the workforce. This is going to matter when women go out and try to get jobs and gain experience.
So, in short, if you act like a bitch and don’t help out your fellow females, they won’t help you. And we collectively won’t get very far by hoarding information so that only one of us can be the best. So stop being a cunt and help a sister out.
