Women have more abilities than men acknowledge

Women have strengths and capabilities that men do not wish to acknowledge!
Negative socialization has brainwashed most women to the effect that they duly subscribe to the notion that their primary role in life is limited only to that of being a loving, caring wife.
Yes, as women we are by nature hardworking and loving but men have taken advantage of our vulnerability to the extend of making us submissive.
I believe as women, we can do far much better than this. As women we have to liberate extricate ourselves from this submissive attitude.
J. Stuart Mill (1806 – 1873) argued that men hold women in subjection by representing to them meekness, submissiveness, resignation of all individual will into the hands of man as an essential part of sexual attractiveness.
I encourage women to stand their ground and to do away with subjugation. Women have strengths and capabilities that men do not wish to acknowledge. It is quite disheartening that women yearn for equality with men because they are ahead of men. We cannot be men. What we need to do is to show men that we have the capabilities.
If women suffer, the entire society is doomed and destined to fail. For the progression of mankind, there is need for women involvement and participation in every sector of society. Women make the world a better place. It is the truth.
We need women leaders who can perform tasks without selfishness both inside and outside. More and more opportunities should be availed to us women. We are creative, innovative, strong, intellectual hubs, committed among other things.
I am however unimpressed by women with a Pull Her Down SYNDROME (PHD). As women lets exist to support and groom each other. I encourage women not to be limited in their houses.
Women, persue education!
Persue your careers!
Be successful enterpreneurs!
Take care of your health
Take part in politics, economic, religious, and social activities.
This is just but a wake up call to all WOMEN.
Women, let us be empowered, emancipated, educated, the sky aint the limit anymore!
Further, as women, let us STAND our ground, PROVE our worth, and say NO to Gender Based Violence and REPORT any CASES of Gender Based Violence.
As women, it is essential THAT WE INSPIRE THE ENVIRONMENT around US. Wherever we go, let us leave a mark!
women, work for your selves, be independent especially financially. come up with sound cooperatives, do not spend time sun basking, make good use of your time! ignore destructive critisism! rise above all hate! yes we can, and yes we will do it!
Allow me to conclude by a quotation from William Golding a British Novelist:
"I think women are foolish to pretend they are equal to men. They are far superior and always have been. Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her a sperm, she will give you a baby. If you give her a house, she will give you a home. If you give her a smile she will give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit!
