"   Connie Britton is like that older sister that you just idolize, partly because of that hair, but mostly because everything that comes out of her mouth sounds like some &amp;quot;been there, done that&amp;quot; advice that women our age sorely need. Take her recent New York Times profile, for example. The actress revealed she wasn&amp;#039;t about to allow her character in Nashville, Rayna Jaymes, to lament about her looks to her husband on the show. &amp;quot;I might have a conversation with some girlfriends\u2014what are we doing about the lines around our eyes\u2014but to a man?&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot; There are certain things\u2014it would just be demystifying and disempowering.&amp;quot; See? Wise advice. I know, it seems like a foreign concept in today&amp;#039;s TMI world. We&amp;#039;re taught to share, share, share\u2014and now our boundaries are blurred. Things our moms wouldn&amp;#039;t have dreamed of sharing with men are now common convo topics on Facebook. Sometimes, it&amp;#039;s better to keep things close to the vest. As women, we&amp;#039;re taught to be self-deprecating, humble, and perfect\u2014all at the same time. What&amp;#039;s wrong with owning your looks and being confident? Nothing\u2014and it&amp;#039;s time to take back that power. And besides, when&amp;#039;s the last time you heard a guy complain about his beer gut or bad hair day? Probably never, because they don&amp;#039;t think it&amp;#039;s a big deal.  &amp;#039;Cause it&amp;#039;s not. Want more from Meagan? Follow her on Twitter.
