Like everyone else in the community woman has a role to play. And what exactly is her role in this modern world?
Way before modernization the gender roles were clearly distinct . The woman’s job was to take care of her home while the husband provided. From a young age she was taught how to cook ,wash , behave, taboos to adhere to, dos and donts in a marriage.
The ultimate goal was to get married and be fruitful . Failure to adhere to the community’s expectations would risk one not being married or worse excommuicated . With years ,the woman has fought for her current position in the community.
The girl child has a say ,she has rights and will sue anyone that tries to go against her legal rights . She is vocal about her problems.
Remember a time when menstruation was such a hard topic to discuss? Girls were so embarrassed about the whole issue . It’s not until recently that it has become a normal thing . Anyone can buy sanitary towels without getting “those eyes”.
The modern woman can get a degree in the course of her choosing. She can choose whether to get married or not , have children or not . She can chair a meeting ,own a company and a have seat in the parliament .
The society appreciates her efforts ,she has won countless Nobels .
She is as hardworking as ever. She doesn’t mind being the breadwinner.
However hard she has worked to earn her current status ,some members of the society still feel she does not deserve it . They rape her,abuse her emotionally ,harass her ,anything to kill her motivation .
While browsing i read this tweet from Solomon Buchi ,
Men that don’t rape women are not special. Men that don’t cheat are not special . Men that treat women with equality are not special. Men that cook in their homes and take care of the child are not special. This is what a normal should be like.
Support the modern woman in her endeavours. She deserves it .
ADIOS 💜💜💜💜
