A basic system of ethics and morals that guide us as women?
Here’s the BLC — Basic Lady Code: Never hate a woman you’ve never met, never date a friend’s ex, never reveal another female’s secret, never leave an inebriated friend alone at a bar, never invite a friend’s enemy to a party, never dine alone with a friend’s boyfriend.
Here’s the AWC — Advanced Woman Code.
+ Never stay silent when a friend is falling for an asshole.
+ Never favorite a best friend’s bon mot. Always retweet it.
+ Never trust a girlfriend who dates a married man.
+ Never refuse to write a recommendation for the offspring of a friend (no matter how big an idiot the kid is).
+ Never steal your friend’s thunder at a dinner party — when she’s on, give her room! Pound the table! Bang your glass with a spoon! Laugh the loudest at her story!
+ Never give your friend’s business four stars on Yelp. Always give five.
+ Never agree when a friend says she’s flabby, baggy, saggy, lumpy, floppy, veiny, squishy, scrawny, etc., etc. Tell her to shut up. Tell her life is too short. Tell her to eat, drink, and be merry.
And finally…
+ Never treat other women disrespectfully: It gives men ideas.”

I loved all these codes, and it made me think about what I’d add to the list. These apply to everyone — all people are important! — but I think it’s super-crucial that we treat our fellow babes with the utmost love and respect!
Always give honest — but loving — feedback when your friend is trying on clothes. I will never say, “Oh, that looks great!” if it isn’t. You should want your friends to look and feel their best!
We have a responsibility to help one another out. Share what you’ve learned, and never hoard resources.
Be sincere. A phony laugh and a fake smile never fool anyone. (But never use this as an excuse to be rude.)
Don’t take things personally. I feel like almost every woman I know suffers from a case of “Are you mad at me?” Remember that people have their own lives, and someone else’s bad mood is not a reflection on you.
Encourage and push one another to try new things and quash fears.
We all have to take responsibility for surrounding ourselves with people who lift you up. Think about it: who do you want on your team? Negative Nancy or Badass Betty?
Respect other people’s relationships, as well as your own. If a friendship feels like it’s going too far — and you know that either your or their partner would be upset about it — be proactive and shut it down. Don’t make a huge mistake just because you love the attention.
Be your friends’ biggest cheerleader. Celebrate their successes with gusto and enthusiasm! (And if you can’t make yourself “mean it”, find new friends.)
I also took it to Facebook. It’s the easiest and best way to get a dialogue goin’! I asked everyone, what was in their personal girl code?
Here are some of my favourite responses.
i was disinterested in all responses. Bad population grab…
I always think it’s worthwhile to examine our own personal “rules” and see whether they still feel relevant. Often we blindly follow other people’s ideals, and end up living a life that feels inauthentic.
Personal rules is the patriarchal way of conveying your BOUNDARIES. Rules make them sound unfun, but a relationship is an infinite amount of puppy dog kisses better with boundaries, not rules. Rules is “Naughty Mummy” and like they say, “no on wants to fuck Naughty Mummy!” (on Sex in the City. Eastside - - - B.I.G)
You can do it put ya back into it.
I love you
