Society really need to cut women some slack.<br />You are so spot on on all the points raised and the comments solidifies the plight of women.<br />When we as women start supporting womankind and men are raised to treat women with the love and respect they deserve, things will be better. Until then, we can only keep raising the awareness.Joy2Endurehttp://www.joy2endure.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810674244207378479.post-64383973491785122292015-03-12T11:32:42.432-05:002015-03-12T11:32:42.432-05:00I just got inspired by TV shows to do a show about...I just got inspired by TV shows to do a show about the issues some of these shows raise that people don't want to talk about..i.e. Being Mary Jane and Empire.

You raise pertinent points .I remember this incident since some people I know, knew this couple personally.(Very Sad RIP)..And the cheating comment could easily have come from a women..and it rightly did in your gathering. These comments from what you rightly said..supposedly educated and enlightened men about women actually inspired this post.Your friend is spot on..For me we take 2 steps forward and 4 steps back whenever a women tries to make excuses for a man or condone crap behavior. I tire for the matter. #EGoBetter..I already sound like a broken record and will keep sounding like one.<br />YefIRepCamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03609671803547633561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810674244207378479.post-4332316611681352482015-03-11T17:42:11.174-05:002015-03-11T17:42:11.174-05:00Beautiful Yefon!

A woman was accosted by her estranged husband (she’d left their home a couple of months back) at her place of work: the military man pulled out his gun and blew her brains before killing himself. I remember shaking my head painfully when I read comments on Facebook like "she probably cheated on him: why would a woman run away from marriage after barely 2 years? If she didn't persevere, she was a gold digger. Even if he cheated, he's a man!" That came from a man! I was shocked to the bones when in a gathering, a fellow woman said, she heard the woman had been unfaithful (which wasn't the case); and when I asked why the unfaithful man did not have his brains blown out she retorted "na normal ting say man must cheat". <br />Cut women some slack really! I love your figure "A Real Woman is Whatever She chooses to Be". My mom and I were having a chat some days ago, mostly appalled by the sorts of comments young, pseudo enlightened, educated men make about women: their expectations and what have you. It's disheartening! It's a tough world out there and we need to assert ourselves. A male friend of mine said to me, men usually get away with shit because women let them. Not just their women, but other women. You walk out of an emotionally/physically abusive relationship, other women jeer at you for not “persevering” long enough and before you know it, your best friend walks right into your shoes. You stand up to your husband when he's wrong, his mom cautions you instead of talking to him. We got to start from somewhere: value yourself, treat people with respect, treat other women with respect and do not sacrifice your self-worth at the altar of anything. And for the mothers or future mothers - raise your sons properly. Obliterate that sickening mantra that women are on this earth to dance to the tune of men. As you raise your daughters to aspire to perfection (whatever that means), raise your sons to be humane gentlemen. I rest my case!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168124735133996445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810674244207378479.post-72805996385800333252015-03-08T21:59:50.102-05:002015-03-08T21:59:50.102-05:00Gbammm..You hit the nail in the head with the poin...Gbammm..You hit the nail in the head with the points you raised.To me.God created a mate!IRepCamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03609671803547633561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810674244207378479.post-74723302987326404032015-03-08T21:34:01.202-05:002015-03-08T21:34:01.202-05:00#BonFete!

If you notice a man treating a lady right. It will be that she is controlling, witchcraft, woman wrapper. <br />Men are really taught to be disrespectful and dishonest towards women. For that reason most of them reign because they have a free conscience and succeed in life. Note the rhetoric question "why do selfish people succeed? "<br />Women are taught that you know that you are a woman na. You will depend on a man. These same men who will have families of their own and tell you in future it's their family that's their soul responsibility. These same men who wouldn't sacrifice like you do.<br />And it's always the woman's fault. <br />To an extent I love the pep talk (in Being Mary Jane) the dad gave to the protagonist about what she wants in life. Stop worrying about others, & perfectionism. Take care of herself. <br />Due to frustration some women join the bandwagon to torment other women whom they are envious because they didn't have the courage to stand up for themselves.<br /><br />The society has a mindset of it's own on picking on folks . At the moment women seem to be down the food chain. You should you should... For this reason commercial marketing strategy targets women. Some households look like a mini supermarket. <br /><br />God created a helpmate not a SLAVE.<br /><br />Joan<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
