5 things all women should be proud of

In our country, you will hear women, every now and then, exclaim 'ughh, only if I were a man!' out of the frustrations in living in a highly patriarchal society. But there are many things for us women to be proud of. There are many reason for us women to love being women. Many reasons for us to thank God for making us exactly who and what we are. Here are 5.

Compassion: There may be many strong independent women, feminists even, who look at this as a weakness. But a woman's compassion is her greatest strength. Women are naturally more compassionate, sympathetic, kind and patient in nature. They can relate to the hurt and pain suffered by others and will go to any lengths to offer relief to them.

Emotional Strength: Of course men would like to believe women are stronger emotionally. But if they only knew the kind of turmoil our feelings have to face in a society such as this, they may want to think before they speak. Women are emotionally stronger when compared to men. From a very early age, they face several kinds of difficulties internally and externally that make them strong. This ability gives them the power to face any kind of challenge.

Multitasking: We have seen women do it all. While many think 'taking care of the household' is not such a big deal, let a man one day take care of your home while you sit back and relax and you may just end up thinking you're watching a sit-com regarding how unproductive men can sometimes be. Groceries, cleaning, cooking, teaching, nursing- name it! All women are superwomen- and you know it!

A History of Women: While we may think women have been in the backseat forever, there are many a reason for us to look back and feel proud. Some of the most notable personalities starting from Joan of Arc to Florence Nightingale, from Maya Angelou to JK Rowling, from Begum Rokeya to Wasfia Nazreen- we have more women to proud of than ever thought of. And we are one of them!

Perfection: All our abilities- our compassion, our emotional strength, our history, our bodies, our physicality combined make us the perfect caregiver, leader, and an overall person. Let's remember- all embryos start off as women- the epitome of creation.

A little prouder than you were a few minutes ago, aren't you?
