Sometimes, it's kind of a bitch being a woman. We have to worry about being strong, without coming off too bossy, being kind without getting stepped over, or having a completely unqualified person come out of the blue and a take a job tailor made for you (*cough*Hillary*cough*).

Even though it can all get overwhelming, it's time for you to take your power back. With a little self love, you can stand up to any misogynist obstacle.

So, here's a few mantras to repeat the next time a stranger tells you to smile so you can stay calm and stay strong.
