​One of the best things about starting a blog for women is that it has made me more interested in the lives of the women around me. I have also become excited about the prospect of meeting more women, learning more about them and from them, and celebrating how similar we all are to each other, as well as how different we all are from each other.
However, there are two things that we do that really get to me:
1. Comparing ourselves to men (saying things like, "Anything a man can do a woman can do better - or just as well"), and
2. Comparing ourselves to each other.
Let me start by saying that I believe that men and women are equal, and I don't support the unequal treatment of either women or men; I also believe that there are quite a large number of things that both men and women can do equally well. The problem arises when we compare ourselves to men, because we mainly focus on the ways that we're similar to them just to prove our point, which in turn may cause us to overlook and undervalue the ways in which we are different from them.
