I Am A Woman So What?
WHOEVER WROTE THIS
SHOULD BE GIVEN AN
AWARD!!!
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
whore, 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,
“aaah! 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 and Tell your
woman that you love
her
: *Who is a
woman?????*
When she is quiet,
millions of things are
running through her
mind. When she stares at
you, she is wondering
why she loves you so
much in spite of being
taken for granted. When
she says I will stand by
you, she will stand by you
like a solid rock. Never
hurt her or take her for
granted. A very heart
touching message by a
woman. Someone asked
her, Are you a working
woman or a housewife?
She replied: Yes, I am a
full-time working
housewife. I work 24
hours a day. I’m a Mum.
I’m a Wife. I’m a
Daughter. I’m a Daughter-
in-law. I’m an Alarm
clock. I’m a Cook. I’m a
Maid. I’m a Teacher. I’m a
Waitress. I’m a Nanny.
I’m a Nurse. I’m a
Handywoman. I’m a
Security officer. I’m a
Counsellor. I’m a
Comforter. I don’t get
holidays. I don’t get sick
leave. I don’t get day off. I
work through day and
night. I’m on call all hours
and get paid with a
sentence. “What Do U Do
All Day??” This Is
Dedicated to all
women*** A Woman has
the most unique
character like salt! Her
presence is never
remembered, but her
absence makes all the
things tasteless. Pass it
to all the lovely ladies…Ur
Mother. Ur Wife. Ur
daughter. Ur sister & Ur
friend.
Forward to every woman
to make her smile and to
every man to make him
realize a woman’s worth.
