Does a Woman Have “A Place?”
On an episode of the TV Show “Divorce Court,” I watched as avery arrogant man proceeded to explain to the judge why he feltwomen had “a place.” He explained that women shouldn’t work,they shouldn’t run for any public offices because they wereignorant to the fact, and they are put in this world to takecare of their husbands and their kids.
It is sad that there are still men in this world that thinkwomen are going to take a back seat to them. We can do whateverthey do and sometimes better. Women are CEO’s and Presidents ofcompanies now all over the world and growing. We are gettingmore educated and studies have shown that women run and managecompanies better than men. They can’t stop us. We are takingover!
We are doctors, lawyers, nurses, writers, directors,constructions workers, sanitation workers, fighting for ourcountries in the Army, Marines, Navy and Airforce. It’s notgoing to stop. Some men say that they want a woman who works,but when you show your independence, there’s a problem all of asudden. When he observes the fact that there isn’t much he cando for you except for satisfy your sexual appetite (andsometimes you can even do this alone), he runs and flees for thenearest exit. Why? He wants a woman that he can control. Somemen can appreciate a hard-working woman and love that some womenare independent; however, sometimes many of them make thestatement, “You are TOO Independent.” What do they want from us?
Some of these men want a woman that works, come home to cook andclean, and take care of the kids. They don’t want to help you,but they don’t want you to become too independent either. Theyare threatened by the fact if they left you today or tomorrow,you could take care of yourself and the kids just fine withoutthem. They do not understand that you are with them because youwant to be, not because you have to be. They also do notunderstand that women are emotionally stronger and can and willdeal with them leaving. You may be hurt for a couple days orweeks, but once you are over that, it’s really over. Your mindhas become stronger and your heart guarded.
Women are special people. They can do whatever they wantwhenever they want. There is no burden too heavy or no pain toodifficult that a woman can’t handle. There is no obstacle inlife that a woman can’t overcome. The day a man can work sixteenhours a day, come home and take care of the house, take the kidsto soccer practice, go to the grocery store, attend schoolmeetings, and most of all deliver a baby, that’s the day a womanwill have “a place.”
