Working Hard or Hardly Working? Not For You to Judge.

There is one thing that I will never quite understand, and I’m sure that I never will. Why is it that when a woman has a nice, fancy car or a big fancy laptop, or a comfy job at the top of a huge company everyone and their cat thinks that it was just handed to her? That there was no possible way that she could have accomplished this on her own. “Oh, Big Booty Judy just rolled up in a new BMW? Must have bought it with her (sugar)daddy’s money.” “Holy shit, Hot Donna is looking at a top position at Apple? I wonder who she had to get on top of for THAT.”
Now I know that some of these scenarios don’t come up in everyday life, and when they do, sometimes it is things being handed to women. BUT not EVERY situation like this means that things are being handed to us. Some women work incredibly hard in their daily lives to get every cent to put toward that new BMW. Or even Donna could be working incredibly hard for that top spot at Apple and she is FINALLY being recognized for it although she has been working for 7 years. I just don’t get where people get off in assuming that everything is handed to women.
I would think that maybe, since women have to work twice as much to make as much as a man people would be proud of them when they are able to make huge purchases or huge strides.. But that doesn’t seem to be the case.. I feel as though from the beginning of time, there has always been someone to bring a woman down, and it has just continued through history as if it is okay. Woman worked so hard to get the rights they have today (and keep them, of course). But apparently they can’t work hard for their position or luxuries? It’s all handed to them? Okay, I see…
Personally, this offends me. Currently I am working my way through school. Yes, I do get some help along the way because I am still at home and my schooling will help me get where I want to go in my career and life. But that doesn’t mean I don’t work just as hard as the guy sitting next to me in class. Although I can’t pay the $1000+ for my classes I can still buy my books for my classes and contribute to what my parents pay. And honestly, any woman who has ever worked hard for anything should feel the way I do. Yes, you can be supported by a significant other, but despite that, we ALL have worked toward something for ourselves. Some girls work towards buying a new car to whip around in, or treat themselves to the newest Michael Kors watch. No matter what you’re working toward, do it without judgement. I can admit to having made such judgements of others. But after having a long talk with myself, I realize that it was wrong of me. So it’s time to change. If you feel yourself looking at things in too harsh of a light or being too judgmental, take a step back from the situation. This could shed some light and allow you to see that, really, that person is just doing what is right for them, and you should probably stay out of their business. So maybe you should focus more on how to make your poor mindset better, and how to find the silver lining in everything. We are all working toward a common goal in this life and that is to be happy with what we have made for ourselves, I don’t have to know your gender to know that. So you do you, and let the guy next to you do him, and we’ll all do each other… well…… maybe not that. BUT you get the idea. Just do what makes you happy and screw the rest! Cause girl, you got this, I promise!
