I wear makeup. I like getting a weekly mani/pedi. Though I've never attended a rally, I'm a feminist. My stay-at-home mum brought me up that way.
I love this PSA on women's issues. It clarifies, so simply, the on-going struggle of achieving male-female equality:
Even though we have made giant leaps forward for women's rights, we're still not equal with men on a global level.
I am lucky that I live in a country that gives women comparable rights to men. I've had equal access to education. I can vote. And if I rode a horse, I could sit astride. But how many of us remember a female student getting the school dux or a high OP? And how many of us now work for a female CEO, CFO, Director or Manager? What happened to all those studious, smart and ambitious girls? Life choices, career advancements... they seem to be a little harder on the fairer sex.
I am also aware that, at least on a social level, I am often judged simply becuase I'm female. And not just by men. Regrettably, I find that I judge woman, too. Maybe that's just human nature. I will try hard to change mine... and I pray (for the sake of our future daughters) others will too...
