The Progression of Women

Today, barely 24 hours after ‘the land of the free’ has chosen and put into place their new leader, they are protesting. Fortunately; rather than the riotous protests which have been taking place the past few months was not what filled streets all across the country. Instead feminists quietly marched with signs against their leader Trump and some of the many hurtful words he has carelessly thrown around in interviews and on social media. They claim he will set the country back and that many will lose rights they have struggled to acquire.

               Hunny, you did not work for any of the privileges you have; none of us have. Your gender has come a very far way it just has been such a small transgression and hasn’t impacted you directly so you miss what is taking place right in front of you.

               Across the globe there are many who have it a lot worse than you. In Africa, there are mothers still forced to give birth to dozens of children and care for them all. There are girls who are sexualized and put to ‘use’ from the time they begin their menstruation; some even before. There are places where women do not get paid at all, some where they are not even allowed to have a job or be educated. Here in our first world countries we are almost equal to man. We can reach for our dreams of having a doctorate. You can climb the corporate ladder and make a name for yourself. You can deny marriage proposals, you can decide not to have children, you can fight against the men who hurt you and damage your well-being. It may not always work out the way you wish but you are more than capable of accomplishing that of a man if you put your all into it and stop acting like a lazy bitch who just wants everything handed to her on a silver platter. Grow up and work for it.
