International Women’s Day is a day to celebrate, be grateful for and shout out all the incredible women that surround us, support us and have helped us.
It’s also a time to reflect on the times we maybe haven’t had the sisterhood at the forefront of our minds.
Author Zoe Foster Blake has shared an honest IWD confession of doing just that – and it’s struck a chord with many of her followers.
“It is with shame and regret that I confess my deep affection, respect, admiration and wholehearted love for women wasn’t always at 180%, as it is today,” she begins.
“When I was young, and unsure of myself, and insecure, and had tricky boyfriends, I was intimidated and threatened by women, and would all too easily slide into fear-driven bitching and nastiness because of this.”
The 36-year-old said it took until she felt genuinely confident and happy in herself before she could appreciate women “to their full extent” and realise women really need other women to be successful.

No shit she wasn't woman loving. Declared herself to be a non-feminist, and had an affair with her now-husband while he was with his partner of many years. She nasty.
