I know this will come as a shock to you but I read a lot of blogs. If you follow me on twitter you know that there are some great bloggers out there that I follow religiously. There are always waves of subjects that go around and then other blogs pick up on it. The current theme making the rounds is “Let’s all get along”. It’s not a new premise, and usually goes like this “We are all women, all different, let’s support each other, not tear each other down.”

Bitch, I am not your sister.

Let’s support each other? We’re adults. That ‘everyone gets a trophy’ crap is gone. Put on your big girl panties and realize sometimes you suck. And I don’t have the patience or ability to dissemble like most people, so I’m going to tell you that you suck. If you think that’s ‘tearing you down’, so be it. I am sick and tired of women who complain about other women ‘not supporting them’. If you’re not out there busting your ass every day, you don’t get a break.

I guess I must be wired differently. I don’t know. But I do know this, I do not have infinite amount of love (or like for that matter) and most of that love is used up on my children. That leaves a tiny amount for every day bullshit. I am certainly not using it up on your sudden desire to make peace with every women out there.

Last, I will cut a bitch. If you and I are competing, we are competing. You can bet I’m not running for Miss Congeniality, I competing to win, to get the job, to be noticed, to be heard – and I don’t play nice. Now, if I don’t have a dog in the fight I’m all for supporting the woman. Me? Never going to be Secretary of State so, hells yeah, give it to a woman. Men have screwed it up long enough. Competing for blogging space? Oh, it is on.

Want to join around the ‘campfire’ and sing kumbaya? Great, have fun. Want to be success? Then remember there are women like me, and bring your A game. You’re going to need it.

(Look, I TOLD you the bitchfest was resuming. And this isn’t in response to anything in particular that happened to me lately, I just HATE false sincerity. That’s what these ‘let’s get along’ posts are.)
