Galentine's Day: Girls about female friendship

February 13, celebrate Galentine's Day - unofficial Day of Women's Friendship, which came up with the heroine of the excellent series "Parks and Recreation" Leslie Knope, and now women are celebrating around the world. Galentine's Day recalls that love is, of course, cool, but friendships are no less important, and also disproves sexist stereotypes. We thought that this is a cool tradition that is lacking in Russia, and asked bloggers to tell them what role their friends play in their lives.

You can join the promotion in the next couple of days - on February 16, we will give gifts to the authors of the ten most kind and interesting instagram posts marked with #wondergalentine tag. These are tickets to the Tretyakov Gallery and KARO network cinemas, DrawAndGo drawing classes, cosmetics and certificates from the Girlfriend stores, Delivery Club promotional codes, Burger Heroes dinner and other nice things that will help you have a good time together.

Surrounded by girlfriends, I can calmly say the word "monthly" and I will be lent a gasket, I can calmly dance at night in the club, knowing that I will not be thrown, I can spend the night with a jack on the sofa, and in the morning no one will tell me that I look schmuck

There are a lot of sexist stereotypes around female friendship: women to each other's rivals, friendship between a man and a woman is impossible. As a result, patriarchy in general deprived women of the ability to be friends. This is such a big boo

Katya Valera

Friends for me is something magical. I always want to thank them for being there, pulling me out of bad thoughts and helping in general with everything

Olya Abramova

Anya greatly contributed to my acceptance of my body, thanks to her I am sure that I am on the right path! I have always had a friend like Anya, so I have never associated female friendship with rivalry and envy

Sveta Streltsova

Smart, fair, kind and honest - these are girls that I can call my friends here and now. I have completely changed the concept of friendship. She just became another

Katya Slyadneva

There are a billion topics that can be discussed with girls, besides manicure and eyelashes, there are thousands of things you can do together, and not like in a melodrama about teenagers when you sit on a pink sofa

Anya Sakharova

In all stupid novels and films, love is the most unshakable feeling, but for me our friendship with Katya is much more immutable. She supported me when all the love "forever" collapsed in a week

Anya Zenkovich

When I drew an illustration for the last turn of my zine, I thought: "What does the sisterhood look like?" - and I understood that it was this way: the foundation of the world - girlfriends, helping you to keep up and look forward to the future
