"Here's to strong women. May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them." - Unknown
If you have ever been offended by the term "basic bitch", you have come to the right place...
There are many different definitions of a "basic bitch" floating around, and while all are damaging to women, the overall message that it is acceptable to judge women based on their "superficial" likes and dislikes is both insulting and unfair. What is the big deal about women liking things that other women like? It's not our fault we all have great taste! Society doesn't jump down the throats of every man who is a New York Giants fan or fantasy football team owner, but a woman enjoys watching Sex and the City and the occasional Pumpkin Spice Latte and suddenly she is "painfully normal" or "remarkably unremarkable"?
These female-shaming put downs have got to stop.
There is more to a woman then her favorite television show or what brands she wears. It should be understood that a woman is perfectly capable of caring about what happens in politics and on the runway with the same amount of intensity. Women are fierce, strong, passionate, simple, and complicated...all at the same time!
And that is perfectly fine!
At Daring & Darling, we support women and their wide array of likes and dislikes. Fashion, Politics, Beauty, Feminism, and Love; whatever it is that you are interested in, we have it covered. Think of us as your internet closet. When you look into your closet every morning, you can choose who you get to be that day. Whoever you are, we support you, giving you all of the information you want to get you through the day.
Finally, a place for a woman to be herself!
