Are Women Their Own Worst Enemy

Whilst singing at the top of my lungs "we're strong enough to make these millions.Strong enough to bear the children then get back to business" and "Im reaping for the girls who taking over the world help me raise a glass for the college grads." from the Beyonce smash hit 'run the world' I can't help but feel empowered as woman kinda makes me want to stick my fingers at the men who are going to be earning more than me doing the same job.


As a female, do I want to see a higher female presence in all roles of society? Is it enough to say we have had only one female Prime Minster, achievement yes, good enough no. Is okay that we are still referred to as "bitch" and displayed as sex objects? It seems in a man driven world this is acceptable, personally I listen to Rihanna for her voice not because she wears skimpy outfits and dry humps on the stage. For this do I blame men? Strangely not. I understand that to sell records/ to make money if you don't have a sex tape or are prepared your clothes off you're not worth knowing. Is it not about time that we stand up and say no I have an opinion  I'm going to use it. Adele seems to have the right idea, you don't see her bump and grinding or following the trend of being bi sexual. 

What is it about women that empowers us to achieve greatness? is it the iconic role models such as Beyonce telling us we can? Is it the sisterhood of females helping each other in a man run world? To this point I say no. Defiantly not.

I am no feminist, but I do believe that women need to start supporting one and other and smashing the male perception that we are made to be good wives, classy, intelligent, virginal, all to become the most educated housewife. Sure, my  three years of university will come in very handy when i'm scrubbing the kitchen floor, but all that doesn't really matter, as long as I look good on his arm. If I keep the house extra clean I may be allowed a little bit more pocket money to go and buy myself some shoes. Oh please, if I want it I sure as hell will buy it, for myself, with my own money, that I worked hard for.

Its funny, although men put down women's achievement to looks and sleeping with the boss never to the possibility of  endless nights working, reading, learning and bettering themselves. On the other hand women don't help each other, with catty remarks in the work place  and putting each other down. Women see women as a threat, therefore in this world we not only have to work doubly hard to make ourselves noticed   in the work place but other women don't seem to like the success which we may have.

I think its time that women stopped size 0 models which mean that the rest of the world doesn't have to look in the mirror and cry, How? Start eating and not accept that you have to be unhealthy thin to be pretty. Stop dancing in their underwear next to 50 cent while he is telling us he can take us to a candy store, sorry but id rather not.

Vogue the 'bible' or '' teachings of what nice things rich people can afford'?

Constantly in films, us girls are being told that Vogue is the 'Bible of fashion,' hate to break it to you, but I disagree. True, that it holds the most expensive designers clothes modelled by the most beautiful women in shoes that I would give my right arm for, however as you turn each crisp page of the callings from the fashion police, it hits you, a bit like a big yellow school bus, actually more like someone slapped you with the magazine itself, that you cannot ( well most people) afford anything in the whole magazine! This is when the  classic signs of a distressed female starts, Ben and Jerrys, Galaxy chocolate ( not eaten in the way which the advert shows , very sexually, more like Bruce Bogtrotter from Matilda) and wine yes lots of wine.

So from this experience we have in effect, realised we are not worthy of wearing shoes which red soles torments us wherever we look in the media, but we now have gained 5 pounds, and hate the models flaunt the clothing's with a look that states " HA! you think your good enough to wear me?!"

Just to clear up, this is not a rant about Vouge, I understand its qualities such as having it in your bag to show "ohh look at me I'm rich and I know lots about fashion". Ok now rant over.

In this blog I will be giving you the Reals Girls Guide to Life, there is only one Victoria Beckham,  time we stopped trying to be her.

Its about time we can a happy medium, lets face it no one wants to wear a bright pink  Kerry Katona tracksuits tucked into ugg boots( even if we have have these items of clothing but this is strictly lounge wear). On the other hand, is it normal to be wearing a skin tight (for us normal people who eat means lumps and bumps on display)  with 6 inch heels to get milk?

Do we want to be wearing the latest trends in jeans we cannot fit in, shoes that hurts us, and frankly looking silly.

I say boycott trends by following this simple guide to effortless fashion.

Day to Day
Jeggings
Jeans, with stretch, named Jeggings, ( the best thing to be invented in the past 5 years), so flexible you can do squats in them! keeps your curves contained and looks fab!



Night time
Ditch the Bodycon
Bodycon needs to go now, lets face it very few of us actually look good in it so why do it? the preparation to wear a bodycon dress involves starving for 2 days before wearing it and wearing the biggest tummy tuck underwear you can find.
As if that wasn't bad enough, the new trend of cut out makes this event worse, not only is the material sticking to out bodies making us look like we could be expecting in 4 months time but now there are cut outs to show everyone our rolls. Sexy!
Bodycon I feel is the cause of many break downs in females, therefore it should be banned, ( if i had my way burned).
Lets go back to the times were you didn't have to have everything on show to look good. A simple shift dress, classy,  and sexy. I don't care what celebs or magazines say bodycon is evil, the block colours which they are now making them in , even worse!
Therefore on a night out, pick something that doesn't cry as you but it over your hips and stay away from garish colours!
