Introduction

I've been thinking about creating this blog for some time. Knowing that eventually it will become quite controversial with readers, especially female readers. However, if it makes one 'think' and examine oneself, I will feel as though it has helped.

As I look and experience the women around me, they seem less and less like women. What I mean by that is they don't cook, nor care too, clean house, maybe if they feel like it, keep their maiden name, have their own bank account, manlipulate the people around them, especially the men in their lives. I mean so many women don't even look feminine - they look like 'she-he's.'

What I mean about 'she-he's' is this. When I'm driving or out in public and see a person in front of me that looks like a guy, walks like a guy, dresses like a guy - one wonders, 'Is it a guy?' For instance, my husband and I were traveling on the highway and there was a person in the distance who was hitch hiking. It looked like a guy... And we always try to guess before we reach the person. My husband may say, 'I bet it's a woman.' And of course I'll say, 'I bet it's a guy.' Well, this particular person was a woman, with a huge bowie knife in her back pocket. Of course when we saw that we no longer wondered why no one was picking her up...

This is a general statement and I'm not saying there aren't women out there who love being a woman, like to cook, take care of their house, their husband and children, share and share a like, want to be recognized on their own merits, or share cooking responsibilities in a marriage. But quite honestly where are they.

At the marketplace they vie for promotion, will do whatever it takes to get one and I don't just mean through work performance or should I say 'fitting in.' I could realy go some where with that one - a good fit or fitting in. Seems like employers care more about fitting in, than someone who has an excellent work ethic...

One day I was in line at a Dollar General store, and I began a conversation with the woman in front of me. She started sharing about the neighbor's child whom she considered to be like a grand child to her and was buying some rice crispie crunches. As she finished, I commented to her that the experience of buying a box of rice crispies and some marshmellows making them together would be a greater experience and a bonding moment, than opening up a box. She immediatley said, "I don't cook.' I immediately replied, "That's not cooking."

What bothers me more about my fellow women is the husband seems to be doing all the cooking, some of the cleaning... Now should a husband pitch in and help with the housework or when your entertaining - sure, but not do it all.

Then there are women who don't even want to have children. I'm not talking about the women who can't, but don't want to. How selfish. To me it is so instinctual in a woman to want to have children, and to be a mother. These women who prefer a career, who prefer to live life with me, myself and I, will have missed out on one of the most fulfilling aspects of life. Ain't nothing like being a momma, nothing. I loved being a mother. I'm sure if my husband and I would have been married when I was in my early 20's, I would have had at least five or six children.

I like being a woman and have finally enjoyed being one. Especially dressing up, fixing my hair, and looking girly...I love it.
