1. It's Okay to Be You
Well, duh - this is a lesson you've obviously already learned! But what I mean, specifically, is that sometimes, it's okay to just be you, make-up free, hair in a messy bun, comfy clothes and all. Sure, you don't ever have to do it, but if you want to, it's totes okay.
2. We're All Your Sisters
There are plenty of haters out there (see below) - but we can't be listed among them. One of the great things about being a woman is that you automatically belong to a sisterhood... that creepy guy at the bar won't leave you alone? We've got your back.
Frequently asked questions
3. Embrace the Chick Flick
There are so many good ones! Start at the beginning (Terms of Endearment or All About Eve) and work your way up.
4. The Bra Trick
If you haven't already experienced the joy of removing your bra without taking your shirt off, then flinging it across the room, learn it. Now. It's awesome!
5. Eventually, Heels Will Kill You
OMG, they're the worst! Sure, they look amazing, but after a decade or so, you'll want to wear flats sometimes. Do it!
6. Ignore the Haters
Even if you'd started life in the body you have now, you'd have been the object of haters telling you your worth was all about your looks, but careful! Can't be too sexy! Or thin! Or fat! Or any number of other things the patriarchy and society will use to scrutinize you. Ignore them! They know nothing.
7. On Wednesdays, We Wear Pink
Just kidding!
I'm sure there are so many other bits of advice our readers would love to share... ladies?

Jennifer: Hmmm..ok
Stephbabe123: @elflordmcgeek Lol God doesn't make mistakes? What about Noah and the great flood? That was literally God being ashamed of what he made, realized he made a mistake, and was like "fuck it lets start over." Don't bring in religion when your point is easily contradicted in the bible itself. But you probably don't read it huh?
shannon: @Neecey now I'm the bad guy? So typical of the women on this app I'll stop but not because you asked me to . Question where were you in my defense when a post on if women should be or not be a stay at home mom and I was attacked. It's the USA I can say what I want . As do the KKK and anyone else I won't be bullied by you or anyone on here !!!
Alayna: @Vanessa it also says in the bible that a man shall not lay with a man the way he does a woman:( and vice versa. I am not trying to "Vomit" my beliefs at you, but it seems to me that the "nasty, judgmental" stuff is also important in the bible! Why else would it be there? Other than to warn Christians about the evil in his world?.... I am not trying to make you mad:( I am just trying to help you:(
Abigail: Kind of a stupid post but I love Caitlin Jenner! You go girl!
raqcity: **said not read
shannon: Who is Caitlyn bothering is she in your house , is she your mother , your neighbor????? How is this woman interfering with your everyday life ???? Please tell me that your all so fucking concerned with what she's doing !!! Here's something from your bible .... Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Not that Caitlyn has sinned but all you who are against her clean upYour own damn back yards before you go throwing trash in Caitlyn's !!!!!!
Alyx: @liza totally agree. But at the same time, we don't need to constantly hear about her life. Not about things that are being advertised. I literally saw an article on my fb about how she's struggling to paint her nails. If she was doing events or talking about what it's really like to be trans, and raising awareness or debunking people's assumptions, then I would be all for it. But as far as that goes, Miley Cyrus is doing a better job at raising awareness and educating people about trans, genderfluid and agendered people. Caitlyn hasn't done any awareness or education on it, she's just got another reality show so that she's not taking over the kardashians show. I don't watch that kind of TV, so I don't know if she does on the show, but she certainly isn't doing a lot. She's brave and it's amazing that she's been able to finally be herself, but she has such power and such a large number of people who follow her, that she could easily educate tons without a lot of effort.
Alayna: I forgive you @Shannon it must have been hard for your friend:( i understand what your feeling right now:( I hate bullying:( I am sorry:( I wasn't trying to get on your nerves. will you forgive me?
Cindy: The American culture = a stinker !!
