But the idea that women can't take care of themselves still permeates our culture.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Women don't take care of themselves because they take care of everybody else.
The trouble is that as women we try to take care of everybody else before we take care of ourselves.
I by no means intend to simplify the challenges women face in any culture. Women are marginalized in all cultures in my opinion, some in more extreme ways than others.
Women should always take care of themselves first. It makes you more equipped to take care of others.
As women in general, I don't think we take the time to find ways to take care of ourselves.
It's long past time we started focusing on the solutions that actually keep women healthy, instead of using basic aspects of women's health as a tool of cultural, moral, and political control.
We live in an era of globalization and the era of the woman. Never in the history of the world have women been more in control of their destiny.
My issue with the state of women became incredibly stimulated when I was visiting developing countries and it became obvious that women bore the brunt of so many things in society.
Women should take care of each other, not tear each other down.
Every great culture has cared a lot, one way or another, about the fate of its girls.
