Appreciating Yourselves

Women. They make up over half of the world. They birth our children. So why are women so under appreciated? But a better question is, why don't women appreciate themselves? Why don't we appreciate our bodies? Women are beautiful, and every women deserves to know this.

Who makes women feel worthless? Who makes women feel like they arn't good enough? Men. What woman hasn't been degraded by someone of the opposite sex? Men don't understand the complexities of women, and the also don't understand women's potential. Women have been "under" men, practically since the beginning of time. It's time to change this, ladies. We are strong, and we are not worthless. If you have a boyfriend, tell him he must to respect you, and appreciate you.

But before others much respect you and appreciate you, you must learn to apprecaite yourself. When flipping through the pages of People or Vogue magazine, a women sees what the media wants her to believe is the ideal woman. A celebrity, 5'7", 120 lbs, long shiny hair and flawless makeup. This kind of body image makes it very hard for women to have high self esteem, because in all honesty, most women do not look like Cathrine Zeta-Jones. What kind of message is this kind of media giving women today? I believe this should change. Media may have the right to freedom of the press, but women also have the freedom to fight back in their own way. We are strong, and we are beautiful. If you believe no one can tell you otherwise, you will be much happier.
