Naomi gets it!

For me, I've never had a problem making girlfriends, it's keeping them that's hard. I typically make friends at work, but I move so often, it's hard to keep in touch...

Not having a mother definitely made it hard for me to get girl friends. I had a fantastic father and three brothers and always felt I didn’t belong among women.

Plus what movies/tv shows depicted as “women friendship” always seemed so dramatic and shallow that I never was really tempted. It always seemed to revolve around being pretty or not. Meanwhile my goal in life was (and still is to a certain extent 😂) to be an adventurer and a super hero.

But at 30 now it’s much better! I’m discovering a whole new kind of friendship. It is amazing how women got each other’s back. There is no support like the support of my girls. They struggle with the same struggles I have, understand and share solution. They are hilarious and faithful and so strong.

Seriously, I can’t believe I gobbled down these lies all these years. Women aren’t strong?!? Go talk to them! Women navigate an extremely hostile world, very often internalized this whole women-belittleing mentality, work so hard for so little money and no recognition, while doing all the house duties, the mental charge (groceries, doctor, dentist, schools) and being sexually assaulted and thrown down the stairs by jealous husbands.

And still, they themselves think they aren’t strong!

Ah! I got carried away. Anyway I can’t get over how women are awesome and I’m so thankful I came to my senses.

And this group feels good ❤️

Thanks Queens

I don’t understand women who don’t have women friends.

If you’ve never gotten together in a big group of girls and just lifted each other’s confidence, you are missing out

Reminds me of those „me vs. other girls” memes, but with a twist. I am just like those other girls, because girls are awesome!

You were great in the Twin Peaks revival!

I've always gravitated towards traditionally masculine things, the family 'business' was joining the military so I did at 18 and became an aircraft mechanic. I noticed a lot of pickmeisha behavior from women troops who were trying to survive and be accepted because of how cutthroat they are to women. (I still cant believe I put myself through 14 years of the worst of male behavior. If you can imagine it, it happened to me or I saw it with my own eyes)

There was a huge culture of pitting the few women against each other and creating jealousy for A: the entertainment of the males. And B: to keep us from communicating with each other (think telling each other who was f#ckboys, and comparing notes on sexist things that were going on)

I decided that I was going to value my relationships with women in my workplace beyond all others and network with more outside my immediate work center so we could take care of each other. I've been out for years now and those are still some of the most important relationships I have in my life.
