During our childhood we are brought up to believe that we can do anything we want, be anyone we want, go anywhere we want and achieve anything we want. We grow up as strong confident human beings only to find that weak people always get their way. It’s sad that the only way to get your way with other people is to display your weaknesses. It sickens me to think that weak people always get their way by playing the sympathy card and those of us who conduct ourselves with dignity are the losers in the end. We are called heartless, villains and other such choice words only because we intimidate other people, especially men.
Men like weak women; it makes them feel strong maybe even macho. Why can’t they feel the same about strong women? It’s not that we don’t need to be taken care of, it’s just that we don’t feel the need to act like blubbering blithering idiots and sob hysterically at the first sign of a problem. Does that make us too tough for men to handle? Does it scare them?
I once made the mistake of asking a man why he was sympathetic to such a woman and he had the audacity to tell me that she was sensitive??!! Really?! I mean does that imply that the rest of us have no feelings, just because we don’t believe in making fools of ourselves in public. What a huge price to pay for being strong!
What we need is strong men who are proud of the women in their lives, be it their mothers, sisters, girl friends or wives. Not fools who want weak pathetic women in their lives just so that they can feel adequate!
I hope some things will change in future !
I wish all you beautiful, strong women out there a very Happy Women’s Day!

The ultimate strength comes from within, and it is that strength that has a quiet dignity and grace to it, because it came from within, and it needed to external pandering. Many people dont recognize that strength, for it isnt meant to be. Some men, cant handle strong women, because they cant handle that strength that comes from within. Such people subconsciously justify their existence by pandering to the uncharacterstically weak. And sensitivity isnt evevn supposed to be a word in that woman's dictionary. If she was a little 'sensitive', then she wouldnt have done what she did. Who said that tears ,even before the hat dropped was a sign of sensitivity, :), it's the silent tears that pour inside of our hearts during times of travesty, with the unimpeachable grace on our faces that shows a sensitivity drawn from the inside and it has a quiet dignity to it.
Sorry foor going on and on, but I was drawn to writing it coz of the post :)
