Shanedra Writes too Much

International Women’s Day was March 8th, and because of the hectic wonderful chaos going on at work, I didn’t have time to blog about being a woman and how much I value being born one.

I know the definition of women is starting to change falsely, but it’s important to note that being a woman is something that you can’t get surgery to obtain. It’s something you’re born with, and it’s something you can never change. It’s what helps define you as a human. (Here’s a correct definition)

Now I know I had 0 control over the gender I was born with, but I appreciate the fact that I was chosen to be a woman. As a woman, I have the ability to feel and be strong, I can persevere, and because of my acceptance of being a woman, I am starting to enjoy it and also better appreciate men. Isn’t that funny? I think that’s interesting that accepting myself as a woman has helped me better appreciate men.

I think one thing I value so much about being a woman is the fact that I can hold life inside of me. I have the ability to get pregnant and give birth to a child. I find this absolutely fascinating and so wonderful.

I think being a woman is something to be proud of. I am glad that I wasn’t born anything else! Yes it comes with things that are quite uncomfortable but I absolutely wouldn’t prefer anything else.

Happy (late) International Women’s Day!
