As much as we all like to say women help out other women, statistics still show that a majority of women undermine one another, or attempt to push away female working stereotypes away by disassociating their gender (great read here)— have you experienced this on either side? It's great that people can be inspired by what they see in advertising and media, but you have to keep in mind that a lot of it is just smoke and mirrors.

Self-acceptance is tossed around quite a bit, yet it is truly one of the hardest things to do in a lifetime- regardless of what your personal struggle is.
