The Girl Code

It's A Girl Thing.
It's. The. Girl. Code.
So. Do you keep to it? I know I do. I am the kind of girl, the kind of friend, who endeavors to put my friends before myself, before any boy. (Typical Cancerian, look it up.) Friends are always going to be there for you, we all know the sayings. The relationship between two women is sacred, there are elements of trust, loyalty, honesty and of course, the L word. Love. A true friend is someone you love, someone you care about, someone you would do anything for, a true friendship is a complete relationship.
The problems women are facing in the world are pretty large scale. In Iraq they'll stone you to death for next to nothing, in some Eastern European countries we're at risk of being kidnapped and sold into human trafficking (source: Taken), in England our main problem seems to be we can't get equal pay or respect from men.
In a world where woman is constantly second to man, why aren't we all sticking together? Why do we turn on ourselves? Kind of like a civil war within womankind. The Girl Code does not specify stoning or kidnapping or prostitution or human trafficking, it is more like an unwritten collection of ideals. The ideal friend would not do something to hurt you. The ideal friend would do for you what you would do for her. The ideal friend would believe that your friendship is more important than a boy.
Shame really.
