We have been raised to think that,one day we will kiss a frog and it will turn into prince charming, and we will live happily ever after.When the reality is that it is so far off from the truth.
Our reality is nothing like what we see on television or even what we read about.
If there is one thing, I would like to tell Women both young and old is ,we need to be honest with ourselves. we need to be realistic as well . We can't bring up the next generation of women thinking the same.heart ache needs to be avoided . We need to bring up our boys right
We are told to persevere through emotional abuse, because nobody is perfect. We are told that we shouldn't answer back because a man is the head of the home. Our society allows men to do whatever they feel like and that is exactly what they do and end up setting bad examples for our sons . We then stay silent and show our daughters that they are inferior and they just have to know their place because this is what it means to be a woman.
In the 21 Century, there is no room for us to follow blindly like sheep . we need to be able to harness our strengths, and mold the world as we do in our homes.We have the most responsibility because we have the greatest capability to effect change.
I'm not being pessimistic. i am looking for a realistic solution to our current situation.We can't keep hoping for "rainbows and unicorns".
Things don't miraculously change.You have to put in the work and just as we have taken up more roles than historically thought possible .it's time we take a leadership approach and improve on all the situations that seem improbable
