International Women's Day
I might get a little kick back from this, but I suppose that's what happens when you write your opinion and thoughts.
I think women are the fucking shit. I don't even feel bad for the language. We as a gender have had to go through a ton of crap that just seems like bullcrap that we even had to. We've been overlooked as the weaker sex, but we aren't. Not by a long shot.
However, this is what gets me. There are women out there who are always talking about being independent and they don't need a man. Yet, here they are always having a man do everything for them and/or needing a man at their side. Come on girl, please.
Don't get me wrong, having a man do chivalrous things is not a bad thing, in fact I would even welcome it. But there are woman that expect their man do to everything. The men will wipe off cars covered in snow, do all the lawn work, remove all the snow, etc. But what about the women who have done it alone? Worked their asses off. Live alone and have to do everything on their own, catching the spiders, mice, etc. Doing the dirty stuff, fixing toilets, raking leaves, getting up before work to snowblow the driveway, mowing the lawn, weed wacking. All the scary stuff about living home alone, weird noises and needing to check it out. What about when the power goes out and you need to get the generator going and you have to use literally all of your strength over and over to pull the starting cord. And you are at breaking point, because you physically don't know if you can pull it one more time to possibly get it started. Or when the power is out and there is a tornado warning and you and only you have to go sit in the scary dungeon by yourself, you and your anxiety. The other problem, moving things, nearly impossible on your own, but you can find ways.
Clearly, I am not a fan of hypocrites. It is not up to the man to do all the hard work, woman can put in some work too. Okay, now that I am done with that topic. Onward to how freaking amazing woman are.
Women are strong. When I think about the women in my life, I think about how amazing they are. My mom for example, dealt with some great struggles and ended up being the strongest woman I know. Raising two great kids (if I do say so myself), divorce, financial issues, dealing with an alcoholic and so much more. I literally could go on and on about the strength of this woman, but if you know her, you already have witnessed it. Then I look at myself and some friends, the loss we've experienced, the absolute shit we have experienced from other woman, the belittling, discouraging and utter disrespect from men. Then on top of that, the pure vulnerability of not feeling perfect, and exposing and facing all of our deepest fears and insecurities in counseling. And that right there folks, is the true strength of women. Being able to truly connect with your own emotions, acknowledge them, know why you are feeling that way, etc, thats a whole other level of strength.
Woman are beautiful creatures that are strong, resilient and magical. And when a man can acknowledge that-- thats the most beautiful thing, darn earth shacking. But that also takes a strong man. Which, there are limited men out there. I will go on about that if you'd like me to...
