RE: THE IMPORTANCE OF STRONG WOMEN…
I am a man, raised by a single mother. But I honestly have never experienced in my life where women were "less significant" than men, so it kind of makes me wonder where this insecurity is from. "The importance of strong women" is like saying "Black lives matter". Sorry to burst the bubble, but I strongly believe in equality, where in no one is "more important" or no lives "matter more" than others.
back in the 60s a white reporter was able to change his skin pigment enough to become a black person and experienced the day to day racism he had been unaware of as a white person. I remember reading about it in the book "Black Like Me". It's not much different for women, even strong women.
From a male perspective, you may not see the day to day sexism that takes place but even strong women experience it. Strong women push back in a thousand different ways, other women just accept that they are going to be treated in the manner they are.
Even a strong women can get worn down from the constant need to stand strong to even survive.
Well said ! @shadowspub
already thinking about my reply post @macksby
No doubt @shadowspub...
Everybody's entitled to an opinion...
"The importance of strong women" is like saying "Black lives matter"
Indeed it is. Because black lives do matter. And while you might want to argue that white lives matter just as much well you would be right accept everybody already knows that and when a white man is murdered the murderer usually goes to prison whereas the "black lives matter" campaign appeared in response to a very clear double standard when it came to an unarmed black man being murdered.
Strong women are no more important than strong men. But we are more likely to come across strong men in the world that is dominated by the media.
