RE: Men and Women aren’t equal.

I get you. If it was years ago, I doubt I would agree with you. But I have had the experience of watching a man struggle from scratch and boy, I do have it easy as a lady in certain situations. And I have been thinking about it.

Sometimes I wonder if I’m strange for thinking it’s time we moved past this “women empowerment” era and just focus on the persons. Yes, there’s a call for change but I’m beginning to think that this is limiting other people. I will be a mother someday and the last thing I want is for my son to feel like he’d be a burden to me. I do get that men tend to shoulder things alone but I want to be a source not a liability if you know what I mean.

Everywhere I see women empowerment and I hardly see men empowerment popping up. Most opportunities these days are about women and now I’m beginning to ask questions. Not like I’m putting less value on the women/girl child in anyway but if we continue like this, the next generation will grow with the mindset that men are to sort themselves out which is not necessarily true.

I think this is the main reason we have men now lacking in plenty aspects of their lives. They had no guides. The guides they chose are actually questionable. This shouldn’t be normalized as it is now.
