The Real Position of Women

                   The Real Position of Women

Often times, this has been a regular debate amongst people. Where should a woman be placed in the society. Some people say she should be below the man since he is her superior and of course the "weaker vessel ". This idea is particular to the "old schools " as the case may be, those that are traditional in thinking.  Others think women should be placed on the same level with the man, hence the feminist movement. They think women should enjoy the same privileges as men do so there should not be any discrimination on the grounds of sex. This idea is particular to people who claim to be " modern ", they believe time changes everything and it's best if we change with time.

Come to think of it. The world has been in a state of unrest because women do not really understand where they are placed, but to me, I think a woman is as flexible as anything flexible. She is places herself anywhere she fits into in order to survive.
Look at this scenario, when a woman is in the arms of a loving man, she naturally reclines to the background, she is comfortable here because she feels secure and whatever decision the man makes is ok. There is no need to prove anything to anyone but when she is in an abusive relationship, she fights to be heard, to be seen as human whose opinion counts and to be generally understood.  When she is in a place where there is no man in the picture, she gets to choose what position to be in, either to use her feminity to get favor or to fight like or even better than a man to get through, but in all positions, she gets to use her instincts and brain to dictate which position she is in and to act accordingly.
A friend once told me that he doesn't want his woman to be above him or too low such that her voice won't be heard, he wants her to find herself somewhere in the middle but I think the situation she finds herself would help her define her position.

Share your thoughts in the comment section below, I would love to know what you think.

  1. I belong to the school of thought that postulate equality between man and woman. Come to think of it some women are bread winners of many homes. Where are their husbands? Why didn't the position of headship put food on the family table? Like the writer rightfully said, women are wired to be flexible by default. May God bless our mothers.

  2. My point...

    Women are as flexible as flexibility itself...hence their uniqueness. i would like to picture the woman 's position with a man as standing or sitting side-by-side:the woman as a support....where the man is dulling per say, she takes over and takes the wheels...that s her nature...she is indispensable.She just has to make things happen!
    Come of think of a world without women....i dont wish to be a part of it at all..

加油!!

                                            加油- pronounced as "Jia you " a Chinese word which translates as "add oil " but literally means "more grease (to your elbow) " , is a word used to give encouragement to people dealing with challenges.       Living in a world where no one really cares about how much effort you put to achieve success but are only concerned with whether or not you were able to be successful, self encouragement is inevitable. When you are the only one that sees that light at the end of the tunnel, though  it seems you aren't even sure if the light is still there because everyday brings new frustrations, heart aches and stress but you are the only one who can really believe in you especially when no one does. You are your only fan.      Some people on the other hand are lucky enough to be surrounded by those who trust in them even more than they trust in themselves, people that see the bigger picture, the hidden potential a

Back Then When....

Ok, so I'm gisting with my roommate and we are discussing the silly things we did as teenagers.  Remember when you were busy making midnight calls to one boy that year, when you were sneaking around at night like a rat looking for a comfortable place for the call. I particularly remember how many times my mum seized my phone just because the noise from my laugher at night was so loud. If I tell you say I still remember the name of the boy I was talking to then, you know say I dey lie. That time you would willingly volunteer to fetch water so that you can have the time to meet your secret boyfriend and chat a little. If he buys something for you, you would also sneak into the house and then share it with your favorite sibling because if you give others they might tell on you. I remember how many times the food I was cooking got burnt simply because I was on 2go and my papa no dey hear that kind talk o, he would always deduct the estimated price of the kerosene spent on the b
