So, I shared this story last week, but I'll repeat it in case anyone wants to write a confession around it.
When I was 14 my ex-boyfriend cheated on me with my best friend of the time, Donna. He then broke up with her and told everyone he loved me... Now technically Donna sinned... but I broke the laws of sisterhood also, by rejoicing in getting one over on her, rather than uniting with her against the heartless boy. I still can't think of her without wanting to mutter 'bitch' under my breath.
I think that one of the biggest sins a lady can commit against the sisterhood is using a word like 'bitch' or 'slut' or 'slag'. Language like that is a way of controlling how women behave, usually insulting women for having sexual confidence. More than any offensive language, these are the words I reserve for when I'm really angry, and I feel guilty for uttering them.
