Oh to be a woman in the 21st century...
the womens month has just made some reminder how we have come a long way fighting for equality and how worthy we are of it and of course the perks of being a woman at this age...
More than ever the 21st century is the best time and place to be a woman. We have equal opportunities , in the work place, politics, family life, religion, education and virtually all aspects with that of men.
March being the womens month the last week we had a basic training for self defense. We were taught to handle situations like sexual harassment, instances of physical assault from strangers. The bottom line is that you should always be prepared, have the presence of mind and a healthy dose of paranoia.... Which reminds me I also need to take that training from my friends from the red cross or the pcga plus I need to get my gift from my friend mr Lenard tirol - the Taser. I also had a situation where we were almost chased by some drunk guy just outside the place of my friend we have to run to her gate. I thought that if only I have a taser I would not run away from that guy but then again, the trainer emphasized that knowing self defense is really avoiding trouble and not to fight...
As women it is such basic necessity that we know how to drive which reminds me I just really need to practice my parking and If we know a thing or two about firing a gun that would be such an ego boost!
Below is my women's day greeting!
History is replete of women who ruled and lead and like Cleopatra, Princess Diana, Margaret Thatcher, Queen Elizabeth 1, Mother Teresa and my personal favorite our feisty and adorable Sen Miriam , and even the fictional character like Helen of Troy , Wonder Woman, Lara croft, Lisa Simpson and Blair Waldorf . I could go on talking about cool things about this women who's kickass ways are an inspiration if not worthy of emulation. They have somehow made an impact to the world and to us ordinary women..suffice to say the world would be a miserable place without us women so today and the
whole month of March let us hug all our sisters, girlfriends and mothers and this also goes to the men - hug the wives , your mothers and sisters and tell them how much you love them how much we look up to them and how they inspire us in our daily lives
To all the women truly we have come a long way! Happy women's day...
