30 Strong Women Quotes To Remind You To Keep KICKING ASS At Life

My fellow vagina-card-holding members, let’s take a minute to appreciate the beauty that is us. Because we don’t get enough fucking attention or recognition — and damn it, we should. We are the only ones that can push another human being through our happy hole; try to imagine a man doing that. Yes, I’m laughing, too!

We are so lucky to have had women pioneers the last century fighting for our rights to be a human being, equal to men. Though, come on, we know we’re better than men, right? It’s OK to say it. Scream it: WE ARE FUCKING BETTER!

We are still not making equal wages, and believe it or not, there are folks out there who still believe we belong at home, doing chores and making sure dinner is prepared for our man. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing if that’s what you want to do, but there’s no way anyone is going to tell me that I have to do that!

Can you picture a man ordering Madonna to cook him dinner? No? Me neither!
