WHOEVER WROTE THIS SHOULD BE AWARDED.
I AM A WOMAN!!! -
So what?
I get into an argument with a man, he slaps
me, I feel the pain, yet they tell me I
provoked him. I should have been quiet, I
should have been patient. I should apologize
to him.
I get into an argument with a man, I slap
him, they tell me I have no respect, no home
training. I should have been quiet, I should
have been patient. I should apologize to
him.
Because I am a woman, I don't have a right
to be angry. So, the degree of my innocence
is directly proportional to the degree of my
silence in the face of oppression and
brutality.....
Because I am a woman, my husband cheats
on me, I am told to tolerate it to save my
marriage. The barbaric and stupid excuse is
that ''it is in their nature to cheat, I should
slim down, dress better, cook better, pray
harder and be more pleasant to him"
I cheat, and I am called a w***e, I have
committed an abomination, I have no right
to look elsewhere for the love and emotional
support I lack at home, I am an irresponsible
mother.
So I am sent packing, from the home we
both built, with all my earthly possessions
stuffed into a tiny box on my head. I am
henceforth forbidden from seeing my two
older children, I'm lucky to be allowed to go
with my little one still suckling on my left
breast. Three years later, the little one is
tagged a bastard. Now, my new name is
"after-three", because I am a woman.
He is 28 and runs a company. He's tagged
wonderful, hardworking, focused, career
oriented, successful at a very young age.
I am 28 and I run a company " Hmmmm, she
is not even married, unserious, can not
order her priorities right, a hustler, loves
money, let her go and get a husband oh"
And I wonder if being successful has
anything to do with a person's gender.
Because I am a woman,
I am not allowed to have wits or be a
prodigy, I cannot be financially buoyant,
professionally successful or be treated with
respect without a man beside me.
Then I am tagged a generous leg opener, "a
runs girl". They never see the possibility that
I actually had to go through ups and downs
to get to where I am.
Because I am a woman.
A man looses his wife to death and
remarries a year after, he did the right thing,
he's being praised and congratulated for
moving on, after all life is for the living.
A woman looses her husband to death and
remarries after 4yrs, "ahhh! so early? Are u
sure she wasn't sleeping with that man
even when her husband was alive? That
was why she killed her husband. She's a
witch! " Because she's a woman.
Because I am a woman, this post will be
considered controversial, and everyone will
try to correct me.
But don't forget, that I am a woman and it
does not make me less human!!!
Share to respect some woman.
