Open Letter: Dear Femme

always2late · 11-30-2009, 09:08 PM

I think we do judge each other harshly. In fact, I put forth that, at times, we judge ourselves and our sisters more harshly than any "outside" source. How often are we prone to "label" someone else..and yet become indignant when we are labeled? A straight friend once told me "Women do not dress for men, they dress for other women." And that shocked me somewhat. But when I examined it, I found it to be quite true. Why are we so eager to pass judgement, good or bad, on each other?
