Why are you sorry?

Hello women! This one is for you!

The New York Times recently published an article titled Why Women Apologize and Should Stop.

How many of you find yourselves apologizing for asking for what you have earned, paid for and deserve? Has it ever crossed your mind that your are using the word 'sorry' as a buffer? Has it become a reflex?

Sloane Crosley, the author, believes that sorry has become a clutch and we couldn't agree more!

Below is an excerpt of the article:

"EVERYONE knows what dirt tastes like. Last week, I ordered a salad at a restaurant and found myself crunching on a shoddily washed leaf. I took a few more sandy bites before explaining the situation to my waiter, apologizing and asking to see the menu once again.

When my second-choice dish arrived, 20 minutes later, it was blanketed in bacon. I don’t eat meat, a dietary restriction for which I was “very sorry.” By the time a plate of edible food appeared, my fork had been a casualty of the confusion. Unable to catch the waiter’s eye, I walked to the kitchen, where I apologized to a busboy.

For so many women, myself included, apologies are inexorably linked with our conception of politeness. Somehow, as we grew into adults, “sorry” became an entry point to basic affirmative sentences."

So what do you say women?! Join us while we stop being sorry!
