As part of my Public Relations B-Tech studies, we focused on the topic at hand for one of our subjects. Knowing what the overall meaning behind feminism was, i thought that this subject would be easy and wouldn't affect me as there weren't many chauvenists and "old school" men out there, right? WRONG.
I recently had an encounter with such a man that literally caused me to see red. I was angered that this MAN thought i was beneath him because im a woman. Showing no respect to me while in a heated argument and pretty much blowing me off, either because im a women or because im young, is what makes my blood really boil, i've found.
As a Scorpio and only child to a single mother, i have no experience with men treating me badly and this first hand experience has taught me that i can really get ANGRY at a chauvinst. I'm normally quite calm and try not to take things too personally, but it seems i've found my weak spot.
Other than being angry, i'm dissapointed and hurt that such blatant discrimination can still take place in 2011. Any kind of discrimination is wrong and although we cannot change the views of such people, i can make sure that something gets done.
Being a powerful, educated young women, i have the power to do much more than the women before me. I will take this experience, learn from it and use it to overcome any other chauvenist that might cross my path.
ITS TIME FOR CHANGE AND 2011 IS THE YEAR TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
I know how you feel. It is disgusting! I had my own experience with a man that did not respect me and it made me furious.
ReplyDeleteI too have first-hand experience. The power is now in your hands - see every experience ( good or bad) as an opportunity to learn and grow from it.
ReplyDeleteLike the saying goes : 'bring it on - Megan is ready to deal with any form of discrimination! Women Power!
