A WOMEN'S DIGNITY

As a women you suppose to carry yourself with respect at all times. Show your true leadership and not allow to be dictated by anyone. In Sepedi it is said “Mosadi o tshwara thipa ka bogaleng”, a women holds a knife on the sharp side. Temptations will always be there but a woman should stay strong and resist them. It is said that a women’s dignity is her husband, do you believe that? Well not all of us are in relationships yet we still maintain our dignity.

What happened to all of that? Today you cannot differentiate between a young girl and a woman. Girls will be sleeping with elder men whom are the same age as their parents, hoping to get all the good things in life, ride in flashy big cars, go shopping to expensive shops , eat expensive food at some expensive restaurants but all of that in return you have to sleep around with them. Where is your dignity there? You should be at school doing something about your dreams, goals for the future. Is that older man to marry you or he is just using you as his sex slave? Remember he has a family at home, a wife and kids. Why are you turning yourself into a home wrecker?

Women, whom we should be calling our parents sometimes, are the one that pressure their kids into having sugar daddies. We expect our parents to raise us to be the better people of tomorrow, know how to respect others especially our life partners but how can that happen when our parents are going out with our friends, guys our age and they call them ‘’abo Ben Ten’’...where is self respect and dignity there?...Life can amaze you...how do you live with that kodwa? When you pray what do you say to God? Are you honest though?

Women you are stronger than that. You can do more than that. You carry the world yes and you can run it. As a writer I am not saying men must be treated somehow and am not saying women are weak, but all am saying is women can do better.  As a woman you are more powerful than words.
