Women of the word.
You led me to become a strong and independent woman. But you did so suffering. And you shouldn't have to.
Women of the world.
You were destroyed in the past and you still are today. By men who, in need of power and control defined you as a simple hole.
Women of the world,
I wish I could tell you the fight was won but it is not. I wish I could tell you it's over but it is not.
As a kid, my mom said she wanted me to become a perfect woman. An educated and intelligent woman, but one who can manage a household as well and take care of her husband.
I don't blame her. She grew up in a culture that asked too much from women and not enough from men. She grew up in a culture where women would carry all the burdens but men pretended they would. She grew up in a culture that presented husbands as a purpose, not a choice.
But I said
"Mom, I can't. I cannot for I love my flaws too much. I love the flaws you despise, my laziness, my uncombed hair, my unfeminine side of me. I love all of it.
But hear me for they don't make me any less of a woman. I am as worthy of others and you taught me that. For what matters is inside of me. And you told me, I was always loved for my kindness to others."
As a kid, media taught me women were the weaker ***. For they are too sensitive, for they need too much attention, for they want to be loved.
As a woman, education taught me men needed women. For they couldn't last a day without them. But women don't need men, women evolve and thrive with no man. But that was hidden from us for too long.
And I never wanted the two genders to be at war. But they started it.
