1.) It throws "sisterhood" out the window and replaces it with "mean girls."

2.) It's another example of women pushing other women to meet what is for some unreasonable expectations.
(I am convinced the anorexia and bulimia epidemic would be reduced if we stopped worshipping extreme thinness, praising people for being too thin and gossiping about those who gain too much weight. I don't think there are that many men attracted to the pre-pubescent male look in females.

3.) It shows a lack of awareness that people face different challenges than we do?
There are people with severe autoimmune disorders among us and people going through cancer treatment who haven't told you. There are plenty of people struggling with varying degrees of mental illness. There are people who seem to end up always the caregiver in their immediate and extended families and never the care receiver and they are burn out. There are people struggling in bad marriages that haven't told you. There are people with kids struggling with neurological illnesses and mental illness and physical illness. People do what they can handle. Just because one woman needs more rest than you do, or gets less done in a day, doesn't mean she has less value than you do.[/quote]

1) Not sure what this even means.  "sisterhood"?  I have friends, some old-dear-close friends, some local work-out buddies, trade babysitting, go out with friends. But I'm not sure what sisterhood is or what that should mean to me.  I like PEOPLE who are positive, work hard, don't complain, realize we only have one life to live, and provide something positive to my life.

2)  Personally I think the bar is really too low for many women, but I don't push or expect anything of any one else.  The recent, OMG I need to go to a hotel to get away from life  thread is an example.  If you are that burned out from life and your kids than make a change.  Now, many people do have challenges in life that are out of their control, but their reaction is within their control and this is where I judge people.

3)   I disagree that people do what they can handle.  MANY people don't do all that they can handle or complain about it the whole time!!
