ATTN:

To the women I know and the women I don't

This calling out, tearing down, and rooting for the failure of our contemporaries needs to stop. If you care at all about gender equality, you are best to acknowledge that if we can't get past the vicious and brutal scrutiny of others, we are not moving forward. Constructive criticism is good, callous criticism is not. 

I will choose to celebrate in the successes of other woman, following the logic that a success for one of us is a success for us all. We have a responsibility to come together and stand as a community that chooses to build women up, rather than tear them down. This doesn't mean we have to be best friends, or even like each other very much, but it requires us to put aside our jealousy, our judgements, and our hate so that we, as females, can achieve every opportunity that has ever been denied to us because of our sex. 

While you're at it, I would suggest brushing up on Roxane Gay's 13 Rules For Female Friendship.
