I'm currently in a class entitled "Dealing with Diversity", today I was working on a chapter assignment for the class, our last chapter in fact, and the chapter is on women. While I was reading this, I became rather frustrated because it was an entire chapter on the feminist movement. Now don't get me wrong, I think women should have equal opportunities, but there is something beautiful about being a woman, that gets overlooked into today's society.
One of my dreams in life is to be a mom, actually that is my most important goal - to be a wife and a mother. Yet, in America today, this goal, this dream is looked down upon. Women feel like they are treated unfair because they want to be treated like men, which is a generalization... I personally do not want to be treated like a man. I want to be treated like a woman. I want a man to open doors for me, to respect me, to treat me like a lady.
It is a known fact that men and women's brains are wired differently. Women are more emotional, more sentimental; men have a problem, they look for a solution, this why men are better at some jobs then women, and women are better at other jobs than men are. Therefore, women should not feel oppressed or looked down upon because they are not in the same types of jobs as men. Men are probably better at that job than women would be anyway.
Instead of feeling frustrated, shoved aside, forgotten, unequal, and looked down upon, remember that you are a woman! We are different from men, and that is a beautiful thing.
My dear sisters, we have the ability to bear life! So many women look down on that and see it more as a burden than as a gift, friends, this is a gift! We, as women, have the gift, the joy, the pleasure of giving life! How beautiful is that!? I encourage you to embrace this gift. Reject modern culture. Reject society's belief that we should be able to do and act as men, then embrace womanhood.
You are the crowning of creation! You are beautiful! You are treasured gift! Dear sisters, you are meant to love and to give love. Succeed in this society by jumping off the bandwagon and embracing your feminine nature, embrace your natural beauty, embrace your natural gift of giving life, embrace your natural ability to love; for it is in all of this that you discover yourself, and your true happiness! For our true happiness rests in God, and in leading and living the life of love He intended for women.
God bless!
I definitely agree! I love being treated as a lady. And, actually, whenever a young gentleman does do that, I remember it -- always. Even something as simple as a compliment, or holding the door. I don't know...when they go out of their way like that, it makes me feel special. That I'm worth something.
ReplyDeleteAnd, as women, we are worth something. Why would we want to lower our status, just to be treated as everybody else (meaning men)?
