i am by no means a feminist. however, i am proud of who i am and what i can achieve. i don't think that women are weaker or less talented than men.
i believe that there are people who are good at knitting and people who are good at fixing cars. there are people who like to do sports and people who enjoy arts and crafts. it has nothing to do with being a man or a woman these days, except in our heads.
when i fellow student - upon taking a looked at my new and improved calender - smugly informed me that women like to spend their time to make things pretty i answered, i'm sure some of them do, yes.
it can't be denied that the idea is still in our heads that women are weaker and of course less cool than men. we cry a lot, get touchy about things, care too much about our appearance and our health, we all like cooking and prefer things neat and clean.
i also have to add that women aren't good public speakers. in my prose seminary i heard four people give a presentation over the course of two lessons. three of them sucked. one of them was a guy.
it's like the girls know what's in everybody's heads - therefore they think we expect less from them. so they don't have to be as good. they're women after all.
everybody knows that women can't parallel park. if you're at a grocery store you will notice that the check out lines with women at the cash register move slower.
i think it's a disgrace. of course everyone of us has things they are not good at. that counts for men as well as for women. women shouldn't let others talk them into the so-called fact that no matter what they do they can't do it as good as a man could. this train of thought will depart from insecurity station and slowly move through average county until it finally arrives in inferiority land.
are you really making yourself smaller, more stupid, less talented, or not as interesting as you really are?
if you are not good at giving reports that's okay. just don't do it. leave it to the people who know what they're doing instead of working to manifest men's point of view that we are just not as good.
instead find out what you are good at. in most of the cases it won't have anything to do with being a woman. don't let society's status quo steer your life. there are many things you are great at. i know that men had been dictating the planet and it is very well possible that some of them can't help their narrow minded opinions. but i have started discovering that some of them - they call themselves liberal - don't wanna make a big difference between genders.
in some areas it simply doesn't have to matter if you're a girl or a boy. you're a person and sometimes that feels the nicest.
