March 8 was a special day. A day for us women. A day when we get the appreciation and recognition.
A day when we are made to feel special with warm wishes and gifts.
A day set aside for accolades and exposure for the wonders women have portrayed and accumulated.
Today the radio stations will also be hyped up like any other occasion to make the nation roll on the waves of the women’s success and relevancy.
Why not? Women are the pillars of the society who are trying their level best to achieve their goals and ambitions. Women are now getting out of their comfort zones and doing things that once was thought to be only for males.
Rather sad I must say that women who are such important element in shaping up the world are being ridiculed, victimised and discredited by “some” sick dominating males who simply cannot see their success.
Rather than lending a helping hand, “some” are busy downgrading and shaming them.
One only has to go to social media to see how women are insulted, humiliated and attacked.
Mainly by faceless accounts which do not have the ability to speak with their actual identity. “Cowards” in other words.
In this male dominating world, seeing women excelling is a huge achievement for the present and future female leaders.
Today, women are seen at almost every different sectors trying to beat the gender biased concept.
We can only admire and appreciate the women who have the courage to break the barriers and move forward.
To all the men out there. You become a real gentleman when you help lift the females around you.
Degrading them with doubts and pushing them behind, shows your lack of manhood nothing else.
I say thank you to all those males who know the value of helping and uplifting women where possible.
I wish every woman a happy and peaceful women’s day.
It’s a everyday happening, just not today, but this day is to say thank you for making this world a beautiful and worthwhile place with your feminine skills and abilities some of which is even out of the men’s arena.
