<a href="http://www.everydaytreats.com/2008/03/how-to-enjoy-women.html">I truly don't get women that claim that they can't get along with other women</a> just because they're ... women? I just don't get it. In fact, I think talk about women not being capable of getting along with each other is absolutely ridiculous. Every woman out there is your competitor? Every single one of us?

So when I read this BRILLIANT manifesto I cheered audibly. It doesn't hurt that it's illustrated with the world of Mad Men. You guys know how I feel about that show.

Ladies, please read the entire post on <a href="http://thisrecording.com/today/2011/2/22/in-which-we-teach-you-how-to-be-a-woman-in-any-boys-club.html">ThisRecording.com</a> and pass it on.

Here's a taste for you:
<blockquote>Here are some rules about how to be a girl in a boys' club. This works for any world you're in or want to be in. Pretty much everything in the world is still a boys' club.

<strong>Befriend The Other Woman:</strong> Always. Seriously. Even if she sucks (expansion on "if she sucks" follows below). Otherwise you will be "jokingly" put into competition with her constantly, and you will be encouraged and generally provoked by some dudes to do this for their entertainment to take focus off the fact that they are in homosocial competition with each other. Befriend her and press your boobs against the glass ceiling together (copyright <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/KristenSchaaled">Kristen Schaal</a>). She is not the enemy. She is never your enemy. The enemy is always any guys who are creating situations that limit the number of females allowed. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down.</blockquote>
Yes! Sing it, sister! Now <a href="http://thisrecording.com/today/2011/2/22/in-which-we-teach-you-how-to-be-a-woman-in-any-boys-club.html">go and read the rest</a>!
