Women Re-Define Yourselves

The feeling of insult, disrespect and anger flush through my entire body when I decided to take a stroll through the city (Bridgetown) to see what’s new in terms of developments and the fashion dos and don’ts. It frustrates the living day lights out of me to see that fashion designers and using less and less material to make clothing for women everyday and these women are wearing these pieces of clothing even if they are not comfortable wearing them they still do just because it’s what’s in style? I believe that women need to redefine themselves, women we need to redefine who we are, our worth should not be determined by the media or the opinions of the opposite sex. Suddenly we are rated as sheeps? And songs are being created to make us expose ourselves in vulgar ways without us consciously being aware that we are doing so? Songs such as “Fruit Loops” and “6:30” which has just be upgraded to 6:45? Songs that give us instructions to put ourselves in some of the most uncomfortable and compromising positions? Is this the behavior we display then have the guts to call ourselves women? Born to be the mothers of the nation to give that motherly love and every other good thing that we are blessed with as women and we go out and let ourselves be used as entertainment in such a disrespect and provocative way? Is this what we have become? To allow ourselves to be throw onto the ground as men jump off tables onto our bodies causing pains somewhere or the other? Is this what has become of us? Where what use to be used as a sign of decency when going church (stockings) we now use to go feting as an excuse to wear our underwear on the outside? “WOMEN” SAVE THAT NON SENSE FOR BATMAN AND ROBIN leave them to run around outside in public in leggings with their undies on the outside for everyone to see. Where are the women who are educated and focused on bettering their lives? Where are the women who want to settle down, get married and have a family of their own? Where are the women with dreams and ambitions? Where are my Michele Obamas, Oprahs, India Aries, Maya Angelous. Hurts to see the direction that the young girls and women of today are taking, the country’s population can not increase without us. The way we are throwing ourselves around like we are nothing yes the population can still increase it will increase rapidly aswell because of the teenage pregnancies and the young girls and their promiscuity but who will teach the off springs what’s right from wrong and how to be good adults? How can we bring up proper and healthy kids if we ourselves don’t give a damn? Ladies Re-define yourselves, the future of our nation depend on it.
