Recently a close friend had sent me a text which went like this, “I now understand what women empowerment is all about. A person like you (brought up abroad, educated, with experiences outside her own state) cannot do something that she likes because of society. I am lucky to be a man! ”
His frankness is commendable but I could not help wondering if I was really unlucky. Being a woman isn’t easy (at least from where I come from) in any way. Every day is a battle for some respect and respect isn’t something you can force out of anybody. You get judged for everything you do/say/wear and you are charged guilty for life simply because you live life the way you want it. One thing I truly appreciate is their wild creative imagination (thanks to the soap operas) to tailor gossips & rumors with the snap of their fingers and continue on shamelessly in spinning their webs to their utmost delight. And sadly here, it’s the women themselves who make your life a living hell unlike the male counterparts.
People are a total scam if they can’t get their attitudes right.
