There was a time when I would tell myself if I had a choice, I would be a guy, because a guy have it easy. Guys don’t have to look pretty to get the attention of the opposite sex.
They don’t have to worry about getting raped. They don’t menstruate. They don’t have to carry a
baby in their womb nor do they have to endure the harrowing pains of childbirth. They don’t have to deal with having to nurse the child. They don’t have to be emotionally sensitive due to spiking hormones. I was complaining for being a woman, and didn’t see the value of having to suffer through these things.
But because of all these things we women are being built like steel. They make us strong and unbreakable. Because of what we have to go through, we are strong, mentally and emotionally.
Men told women long ago, stay at home, and follow what I say. But that script is changing now. Women are still considered a minority today but not much longer. We are rising up for the challenge. We are not afraid to be heard. We unite, together, hand in hand to create a future that’s founded in equality.
We create the day when women will no longer be seen as property or objects, and have no say. We look forward to the day when patriarchal society no longer exist, but a society in which men and women are seen as equals, with the same rights to be in power and to govern.
We are just tired. Tired of waiting. Tired of waiting for systems to change, for society to change the way society view women. So we take it up on ourselves by making our voices heard, to march on to the battlefield, and get on the ring. We are warriors too, but we won’t fight like traditional warriors who were designed to destroy. We will fight with the heart that will silently creep in. We will fight using compassion and empathy. We will fight using patience and forgiveness. We will build armies of love.
We will have dominion over people’s hearts and that is how we will transform the world.
No we don’t hate men for the beings that they are. Men can learn a lot from women if they would only listen. We can also learn a lot from men, we are listening.

Men, you don’t own us, you can’t cage us, you can’t lie to us. We see your pain.
You are afraid that you may be seen as weak and yes we know you want to be seen, to be heard, and to feel strong. We want the same thing. You’re power lies not outside you. It’s inside you. We love you.
It’s time you drop the mask, and stop pretending that you are strong when you are in pain. There’s nothing wrong with asking for help and being vulnerable.

You are weak when you exert your control over us. The minute you lie and intend to control and manipulate, is the minute you lost power.
The man who can control his impulses is the man who is a true leader, for he rightly governs himself.
Men who can’t see their connection to all, who can’t empathize, are lost and suffer from the pain of loneliness.
We women are ready to help men open up because we are no longer in fear.

Now, if you ask me if I would remain a woman? Yes. I’m grateful to be a woman.
