Expectations


My knowledge

of my modern society

understands the expectations 

of societal views on women,

but not have I acknowledged them

You see 

The only thing different

from a man and a woman

Are only physical

Correct?

These are the things that make

them stand out

These are the things that define

them as beautiful or sexy

Not their intellectual talents

Not their robust wills

Women are not objects

That you can buy, rent, or loan

The stronghold of a woman, should not

be defined as a 'trophy'

Because we are not just something, you store

and look at when you want to, in awe

No, we have more in store than that

Correct?

I see the differance between men and women 

by personal attributes

What women of this world can give back, but men can't

Ever thought about that?

Women gave birth to this world

After that men built it

Women give off that sense of love and support

To her fellow sister in need, instead of judgement 

Women blend those elements of

Integrity, Intelligence, Complexity, Beauty, and Strength

There are no neglections to men in this message

There is just empowernment

To the 'downgraded', sterotypical, manipulation expectation of women
