Women need to learn to value themselves. But that has to be inculcated in men as much as women.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Women and men look at their life, and women say, 'What do I need? Do I need more money, or do I need more time?' And women are intelligent enough to say, 'I need more time.' And so, women lead balanced lives; men should be learning from women.
Women have demanded and gotten better jobs and more power. But the one thing we deserve is a better relationship with ourselves.
For centuries, the question of men needing to comprehend women simply didn't arise. Men were valued according to how they measured up to the manly virtues.
When values disappear, the first people to suffer are women because people start losing their respect for women.
As more men become more educated and women get educated, the value system has to be more enhanced and the respect for human dignity and human life is made better.
We have to nurture our young women and understand the beauty and the strength of being a woman. It's kind of a catch-22: Strength in women isn't appreciated, and vulnerability in women isn't appreciated. It's like, 'What the hell do you do?' What you do is you don't allow anyone to dictate who you are.
Women are at once the guardians and the well-spring of the world's faith, morality, and tenderness; and if ever they are degraded to a commonplace level with men, this fine essential quality will be impaired, and their weakness will have to beg and follow where now it guides and controls.
But really, we also need to learn how to love one another as women. How to appreciate and respect each other.
I don't think women hold all the answers, but with their skills, their strengths, we can get to a better place.
Women must learn to find self-worth within themselves, not through others. It is important to carve out a place just for you.
