With all the changes happening all around and having observed how the culture evolved for the past two decades, I can’t help but ask the question. How do you define such a woman now a day?
We have to admit that we come from a society filled with rules. Most of us grew up with strict and conservative parents, surrounded by meddling extended families (who often think that their opinions should be taken into serious consideration). Our actions measured and, oftentimes, directed by traditions and filial responsibilities. And, yes, women often suffer the worst end of the stick underestimated, undervalued, and type casted...
I grew up with voices telling me, plunging necklines, mid-rifts, short skirts and shorts, strapless/tubes, backless and bra-less outfits, t-shirts and shorts should be worn over bikinis or swimsuits; having your photo taken in any manner that connotes something sexual is considered indecent; you should be timid and submissive and yes, this last one’s a classic you should be thinking about marriage and family by the age of 25 PLUS say goodbye to having a career as soon as you do.
I can hear folks crying different sorts of things in outrage. Some will agree and others won’t but let me reiterate, this is based from my own personal experience and, yes, side notes are personal opinions as well.
