An excerpt from the article:
"Having each other's backs makes women unstoppable. The
femship might be key to providing women with the critical mass they
need to reach parity with men. "Female friendship helps women get the
upper hand in the world," Sklar explained. "It's advantageous for me
when my bestie does well. Not only does it make me look good that I'm
hanging out with a baller, or shall I say an egger, but it also
increases my own sense of opportunity because the opportunities for me
improve, too."
She's right. When women work together, they also succeed together. So although we love to snack on slideshows of Beyoncé and Jay Z's latest tropical vacation while we impatiently await Amal and George Clooney's impending world domination, the thought of seeing more female friendship pop in our newsfeeds should make us giddy. Celebrating friendship, rather than competition, between women will help the next generation of women embrace, rather than resent, the strong women around them. In a world still ridden with gender inequality, femships may be the game-changer we've been waiting for. Cheers a Big Mac with your bestie to that."
Women are shown in the media as either in competition with each other or fighting over a man. That's not so accurate in reality. Plank shows pictures of femships, such as Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, Serena Williams and Caroline Wozniacki, as well as Nicki Minaj and Beyonce. These are some great femship role models that exhibit healthy friendships, as well as healthy competition.
When we're around strong women, it encourages us to become stronger as well. We learn to work together for a common goal and to push each other to become our best selves. Behold, the femship!
