So, Women Have It Easy, Really?

Tomorrow (Wednesday) is Women's Day in South Africa, so it is a day off to relax. Well, not for my sister and I, we will start sort of spring cleaning. But still it is a public holiday. And wouldn't a male friend of mine have the audacity to say to me today that Women have it easy. Really? Really? So, I politely told him, until a man has experienced what we women go through once a month till menopause, he does not know difficult! Plus going through peri-menopause and menopause! I have never had children but from my Mom and other women I understand that giving birth to a child is a pain like no other! Then try having your doctor ask you, "do you know how many hormones there are in a women's body? How am I supposed to know which one is causing your imbalance?" Then looking that doctor in the eyes and saying, "Well if you're the doctor and you don't know, then how am I supposed to!" Never mind that as women we are also nurses, psychologists, chefs, cleaners and all that just in our own homes! I asked my friend if he would like to tell me again that women have it easy. He asked me if he could pour me a cup of coffee. I would say I got my point across. Too all the women out there, happy being a woman. To all the men out there, appreciate us. We're not perfect but wouldn't the world be a dull place without us! Photo is of some pretty flowers in my home.
