Rise Up

Ladies stop! Do not help the decline in society, we need to be there for each other. In history, we have fought to have our place in society. Whether it be shorter skirts or wearing pants. Women have had to fight for their rights to get an education in certain fields, join the workforce, join the army, play proffessional sports, to vote, to be heard. We should work hard to maintain this.

We are no longer just baby makers, breeders. The goal is no longer for us to find a man and be married. That shit happened. Some of it still does in other cultures. It really wasn’t that long ago, some of our new generation have no idea that this is what some of their Gramma’s or Great Gramma’s faced! We have come along way. Women need to band together, lend each other a safe harbour. Advocate for each other.

So often I see social media posts of public, slashing and shaming and tearing each other down. Even little girls have become catty and hateful. Urged on by jealousy and envy, brooding over a boy. Let’s not go backwards. We are warriors!

Families give your children pride. Let them know about the previous obstacles we faced and they should never be told they can’t because they are female. Give them tools to rise above. Give them self esteem. Show them they need to be supporters of each other. To celebrate each others accomplishments. Don’t let them turn away and mumble their displeasure for anothers success. Be sure they hear from you the same. Don’t you walk away from a greeting with another and then slander that same person in your next breath.

People seem to love drama. The shows on TV reflect it. Big Brother, Housewives of Beverly Hills, Bachlorette. Not much of a moral compass. You need to be the moral compass for our future gerneration. There is the “Be Kind” slogan, so be sure both sides of your face reflect it.
