10 Struggles Only Blunt Women Will Understand
It's easy to speak your mind, but not always easy to deal with the aftermath.
Blunt women are often mislabeled as b*tches. While there can certainly be some overlap there occasionally, they're not necessarily one and the same.
A b*tch will deliberately deliver a remark that's biting and cutting to undermine or hurt you, whereas a blunt gal is simply saying what she truly believes, and assumes you're strong and secure enough to be able to handle it. After all, isn't honesty the best policy?

Here are just a few struggles blunt women everywhere suffer through every damn day. And remember: Filters are for water, not for thoughts.
