Gender as an advantage or disadvantage has been a topic I love discussing and arguing about, obviously because I believe my gender is the best and has more advantages than the opposite gender.
I'm a woman, and as we all know, women own the world, even though some will argue that. Anyway, you are welcome. I said that because I've seen countless situations where my gender had a headway because of being a woman. That name alone carries power and, at the same time, wonders. You might be wondering what I meant by that.
Taking my country, Nigeria, for example, they don't believe we are in a woman's world because here it is the opposite gender, which is man, that carries much of the responsibilities, and they believed the man has the right to be the lord over my gender as commanded by nature, but it was unknown to them that one way or another, it's still a woman's world even though the men are being given much more respect than my gender.
This argument about who is more important began from inception, that is, from our ancient ancestors, known as Adam and Eve. Here in Nigeria, they will tell you Eve was created from Adam's ribs, which made her a subject to Adam. Well,well that's a story for another day.
Traditionally, a man pays the bride price of a woman here, which means he has the right to do whatever he so wishes with the woman after marriage. Unlike some countries where women pay the price over men,. These are some of the factors that make men think it's their world in this part of the world.
Now back to the reason why I said that even when men are regarded as the lord over my gender, it's still our world because women are created in a very unique way. Firstly, we are fragile by nature; no matter what profession a woman is into, be it wrestling or boxing, we are still considered fragile and delicate.
It is very easy for a woman to sue a man for domestic violence here in my country, even though it's considered a man's world here. The story of a woman being subjected to domestic violence will sell more than that of a man because people will believe that a woman can never overpower a man, no matter how strong she is. And at the end, the woman will be exonerated. Now tell me, whose world is it again?
Secondly, a woman is being considered as someone who can't withstand suffering, or, should I say, inconveniences, for a long time, unlike men, who can go on and on struggling to make ends meet and survive daily. This brings us to the professional world, or working class, where a man and woman are at loggerheads over who should be employed first.
This always made me laugh because how can you expect your gender to win over my manipulative gender? Yeah, I know, my gender can be manipulative at times, though not all the time. This always gives my gender an upper hand when it comes to gaining employment.
Now let's talk about countries where it is naturally or constitutionally a woman's world, countries where woman rules and commands. Countries where woman is the head of the house, and has the right to decides what she wants from a man per time.
All these are advantages to my gender which I love so much, it sure gives me butterfly in my belly. That makes me wonder why some of my gender wishes to be the opposite. A child born as a girl, would want to change to a boy, I do ask for what reason exactly? Despite all the advantages embedded in being a woman, I can't possibly trade that for anything. I love being a woman because it gives me more advantages over the opposite gender.
In our civilized world today, there is limit to what a man can do that a woman cannot do. And what about those sexy clothes and shoes , and beautiful hair styles, I'm definitely not trading that also. I love being a woman and I will remain so.
Thanks for your time, and your comments will be appreciated.
