WEAKER ? … SEX

March 8 , International Women ’ s Day . Does this date really say something to you ? You who read this , you know perfectly well that “ being a woman ” means much more than a date on the calendar .
It means having to wake up early to get the children up , it means sacrificing your body to procreate a family , it means not crying when you feel you are breaking into pieces , being strong when you just want to throw in the towel . It is not easy to live in a world dominated and ruled by men , much less in a society so full of prejudices , where if you are not married at 40 you are a “ stay ,” if you accept a date after a long relationship you are “ easy ”; They judge you if you wear low-cut blouses , short skirts , long skirts , long hair , short hair ; My friend , let me tell you that you are more than these empty and superficial comments . You are strength , you are dedication , you are talent , you are success , you are passion , you are madness , you are sex , you are adventure , you are all an ocean of dreams , dreams ; come on ! You can even think and do more than two things at once . It is not to disparage our masculine “ race ”, but to be honest , men , as the psychologist - philosopher Skinner explains - need a stimulus to generate a response . But you , you only need a goal to turn it into a goal , you forget about fears , you forget those little voices that say “ you will not be able because you are a woman and you are weak ” and the reality is that it is not so . Many insist on seeing women as a delicate flower and the truth is that they are , but do not forget that every flower has a firm root . Do not let this world dominate you , do not pay attention when they tell you that your dreams are too big ! What if they are ?! They are yours ! And no one will live them for you , no one will make them true for you , so go for them .
Surely many times you feel overwhelmed , fed up , frustrated . Make this day yours , get up , wear those high heels you like , that dress that makes you feel sexy . You deserve a day where you really feel like a WOMAN not a mother , not a wife , not a professional . Be that genuine person you want to be , eat with your fingers if you feel like it , get dirty ! Hey ! You do not have to be perfect all the time , yes , I know you have a lot of responsibility on your shoulders , but today take off that sack , open your closet and in the corner to your right there is something you have not used for a long time , it is called “ life .” Maybe that will suit you better Maybe in time your skin will fall , wrinkle , your hair will become gray . You enter an age where you care too much about the appearance , you look at the mirror and for the first time you say “ how old I am ”. And tell me , all those sacrifices you made to make others happy , were they worth it ? Can you really look back and enjoy the movie of your life ? If so , I congratulate you , you have made of your life what you have wanted , but if not , do not waste time ! Be yourself , without fears , without pain , leave traces on the roads which are worth not to follow , but to admire . You are a being full of light , full of ideas . You have in your mind a perfect balance between evil and goodness , create but also destroy ; you have a long history of errors but also a book of much wisdom translated into experience ; you have fears and you have every right to fall and stay there for a while if you want , but sooner or later your nature will lift you , and do you know why ? Because you are not the weaker sex . March 8 , International Women ’ s Day , Congratulations on your day .
