A Random Rambling?

This morning on my way to work, I started thinking about how there are some men out there that bully women around, and I suppose that it’s a good day to think about that, because it’s V-Day. I always look at today as being more of a day to bring awareness to stopping violence against women and girls around the world.

Well, I think that I started thinking about why some men feel they need to be so intimidating. Is it because they are so threatened by a smart woman? Do they feel as though in order to be masculine they must berate anything feminine? Is it because they grow up in a culture that glorifies women as sex objects and nothing else?

Why is it when a man is assertive to get what he wants, it’s a good thing, but when a woman is assertive, she’s a bitch? There are all these questions that I have, and they all come back to society. If we start changing how our children are brought up in society, then maybe we’d have a chance. The problem is, everything is based on how much money is made, and sex and sexist things sell. It’s shoved in our face all the time – watch TV for one hour, and you’ll see.

Now that I have posed all these questions, I am off to go do some other things.
