I am a woman, so what?
I get into an argument with a man , he slaps me, I feel pain, yet they tell me I provoked him. I should have keep quite, 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 quite, 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 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 excuses 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 a irresponsible mother.so I am sent packing from the home we both built , with all my earthly possession stuffed into a tiny box on my head. I am henceforth forbidden from seeing my two older children,I am lucky to go with my little one suckling on my left breast. Three years later the little one is tagged a bastard now my 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 "hmmm she is not married, unserious, cannot order her priorities right ,a hustler, loves money oh" .
And I wonder if being successful has anything to do with a person's gender.
