The 56th Mile of Life

Hello, my wondering readers,

I have thought a lot about the world and its female presence. So, if you are not a woman, I hope you stay to support this! Now more than ever, the female identity and qualities are being diminished. Ignorance has taken its toll on the female population, like a sour taste in your mouth. Women lead some of the top cutting-edge sports, entertainment, and medicine. With emotional intelligence and advanced compassion, a woman can accomplish anything. If childbirth is not the best example, let me spell it out for you: women bring creativity, progression, and bravery to fields where confidence and communication may be lacking.

Now, men, this is not to intimidate. This is a mere point of view of fact. Without women, where could you find a challenge? For we are in ourselves the tornado. We thrive on passion and technique, striving to be good at anything we set our minds to. But this year, the government has put women on the back burner, as has the media.

No, my dear readers, women deserve the recognition, which is why, in 1920, women in America gained the right to vote. Because we, as women, were so passionate about having our voices heard. I can tell you from experience no woman has ever made history by being quiet and silent. If that is your point of view, maybe you should rethink it.

Being a woman is not a simple thing, and the world’s ways are changing with them. More women are getting louder than ever, especially concerning their bodies. Whether you agree with a practice or not, that woman is still an individual and has every right to determine what she can and can not do with her body. Taking a womens right away is just another attempt to silence them and get them in line. I can say it won’t stand.

Some of the most influential women have made progress and fought for their rights, such as Marie Curie the first woman to win a Nobel prize for her scientific research on radioactivity. Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus and became one of the faces of the civil rights movement. Harriet Tubman worked to end slavery and was a Civil War scout for the Union Army, demonstrating courage and true conviction. These are just a few examples of women who fought for what they believed in, stood up for the good of humankind, and proved that no matter what they faced, they could overcome any challenge.

You may be asking why so direct? I can not speak for other women’s experiences, but I will say this: women deserve to have a foot in developing new and inventive ideas. Women deserve the right to determine if they are ready to be mothers. Women have voices that could pierce the mountains and make an entire room silent because of the weight of it. However, the only thing lacking right now is the respect, recognition, and love of how a woman should be treated. Women are soft and delicate. We grow in beauty, and like a flower, we wither, but how you tend to her can always bring back that beautiful nature.

Ask yourself how you treat the women in your life. How do you reassure them? How do you make them feel unique and meaningful? How do you stand up for them when they can’t just seem to find the words. Still, if we as a society do not find a way to work together and recognize every piece of human existence, there will be no progression, just backward movement. It takes all of us to bring results into the world that make sense for the better. Being the silent majority only gets you that silence and setback.

I hope this may enlighten you or, if anything, make you think about our world. Women’s rights and treatment are only one example of what we need to improve; let us start working together to make change for the better, not the opposite.

Always,
