No one showed me how I was to be treated. It may be something most women face. For years, we have been completely denying how a woman is to be treated right. It’s a different story that women are less appreciated and most often taken for granted. However, what is more noteworthy is that women tend to forget that certain boundaries need to be drawn, and they deserve to be treated with respect and empathy.

Women brought up in a family where the men treat the women the right way, know what to expect from the men in their lives. However, not all women are fortunate to have such a background. Many women face discrimination because of their gender right from childhood. This is true worldwide, regardless of which state or country you are from.

Men always have been given the upper hand over everything – from jobs to pay to even having fun! However, women are slowly trying to tear through the tight-knit stereotypes of how they are supposed to act and behave. With multiple hurdles to cross, women are steadily setting the lines straight once and for all.

As we speak about women trying to empower and nurture the lost essence of caring for and processing the feminine understandings, they are also allowing and submitting themselves to a mediocre partnership where they are neither treated as they are supposed to be nor are they appreciated for who they are. It happens because of the lack of guidance and mentoring when young. It is scientifically proven that women who have been victims of gender bias when they are young tend to fall for all the wrong men. It’s perhaps seeking out what is missing. The urge to get whatever is possible. This understanding of womanhood, this misunderstanding of who they are and how beautiful they are, throw them depression, anxiety, self-doubt, and lack of confidence.

If only each woman knows what she is capable of and what she deserves, she shall not settle for anything less. It is, therefore, our responsibility as a generation that knows values and what it is to be valued to show the youngsters what to expect and where to draw the line. Not only are the women to be educated on how they ought to be treated, but the men also are to be educated on the same. Men are to be made to realize that women are equally, if not more, capable and efficient in many walks of life, and it’s alright for them to take control. Wouldn’t it be so cool to have someone appreciate and cater to all your emotional and physical needs!? Well, why can’t you be that for yourself!? The more women seek happiness, love, compassion, and care from others, the more they will find it in deficit. Think about it…
