Womanism in Gender Equality : A saving grace for our Ladies.

Womanism!
That when a 13 yr old girl is given out in marriage to a 60 yr old man, it's our tradition.
But when that 13 year old child has a boyfriend, it's unheard of, she doesn't have home training.

Womanism!
That when a woman propose to her partner, she's considered cheap.
And when a woman demands sex from her husband, she's a slut, it's not her duty to ask.

Womanism!
That when a lady cheats, she's an whore!, She can't even control her libido, a shame!
But when a man cheat, it must be that she isn't satisfying him enough!, she needs to up her game, forgive him and move on.

Womanism!
That when a lady gets raped, she must have dressed indecently or seductively.
And when a lady gets beaten by her partner, she must have riled him or said something!.

Womanism!
That when a woman has a dream bigger than her husband's, she's scared to pursue it.
And when a woman has more than her husband, she must have used his head.

Yet we blame them to asking for gender equality!, who wouldn't, if faced with these issues?
Women aren't weak links, they are not inferior.
But I wouldn't understand because I've never been a woman, but yet I do.
