Do
you want to know something that really irks me?...
Something
that gets DEEP underneath my skin and BOILS my blood…
Well if you haven’t already figured it based on the
picture up above and the title of this post; I guess I have no choice but to
break it down for you.
I absolutely HATE the fact that society has
implanted the thought that women aren’t capable of doing the things men can do;
into the heads of many people: BOTH women AND men. Since the beginning of time
(that’s totally added for dramatic purposes but hey! It’s my opinion based on
what I learned in history class back when I was in high school!) women have
always been inferior to men. And the question that stays haunting me is WHY!?!?
WHY? WHY? WHYYY? Not only does that discourage some women from going after
their dreams but it makes some men think that they’re (excuse my language) “the
shit”. Now before you start attacking me
and saying “not everyone does that or thinks that way”—CALM DOWN because I know
that already! I’m just expressing my opinions for those who think that women
are the weaker sex.
First of all, in the 18 years that I have been
alive, I have been raised by my single mother who took on the role of being a
mom and dad. She brought my older brother and I from a third world country into
the United States, and due to her lack of American education, she had to settle
for jobs that drained the living life out of her. But guess what?!? She never
complained at all! Instead she did it so my brother and I can have a better
future. (which we obtained) Society makes it appear that women have to be very
dependent on men but instead that’s not the case. Like my mom, there are so
many women who are so independent and are able to carry themselves and take
care of their responsibilities on their own. We aren’t the weaker sex because
we are able to overcome any task thrown at us if we really set our minds to it.
Now I get that the physical differences between men and women also contribute
to this mindset and for the most part men are stronger in that aspect, but
again, there are many women out there who are just as strong. Now I’m not
trying to say that we don’t need men at all, because we do, all I’m trying to
say is that people really need to stop underestimating the abilities of women. No
matter what language we speak, what the color of our skin is, where we are
from, our religious beliefs, if we set our minds to a goal…guess what? WE CAN
DO IT!
Feminists
REUNITE!
