Women Empowerment part#1: Warriors Revealed

Why do women need to be empowered? What is so special about them? Okay let me show you this:

 

Well actually that quotes is also brought by some world famous figures, but in this article I’m not going to seek who’s behind this quotes but rather be analyzing the impact and truth of that sayings.

Speaking about women empowerment, you might think about: gender equality, women should be treated equal to man, women should rule the universe too, it’s okay for woman to dress for whatever they want so it’s the men who should control their self (and sight), men should stay in the house and do the chores, there should be no difference in delegating jobs to men or women and to the extreme level: MEN SHOULD GET PREGNANT, TOO. Now you’re staring at my blog, okay stop it. Maybe it’s the feminist saying (what is feminist?). But this is me trying to capture what society say about women empowerment, now it’s your time to capture my perspective about women empowerment.

Nope. Nothing about women empowerment should be compared or even related to men, at all. Men are great, and women are too, in their own way. So, to me, if we are talking about equality (get to know the difference between equality and equity) it is pretty much applied to education and employment. Apparently, both men and women are gifted by God with different “specification”. They are equipped differently. It has been always versus: logical and emotion, strong and soft, daddy and mommy, hulk and Barbie, and so on. But trust me, it is more than that, it is not yes or no but rather a range. Both men and women are unique although in some principle things they are just different. God created men and women along with their role that cannot be replaced by each other. Men could not get pregnant and women could not (could not what? I think probably we have no ‘could not’ – just kidding ;) It is incomparable. So, speaking about women empowerment to me it is not about equality (instead, I prefer 'equity') but it is more about maximizing our potential. Women empowerment is not about what we can take but more about what we can give because we are powerful and have a lot to give.

Ladies are gifted with many wonderful traits. Ladies have strong emotions, beautiful physical portrait, multitasking capability, and more and more so that the world can not live without us. So those are the gifts that we possess. Sometimes women forget all of these gifts and they chase how to be equal with men (education and employment are exception). Meanwhile if we strive to keep growing and maximizing our potential, the world will welcome us and thanks us for the home we build. Be so good in becoming a mom, be so good in cooking, be so good in helping others.

I am inspired to write this because my religion put women in such respectful degree. Women are already special without them trying to show off their capability. Women are so special so they are strictly protected. I am amazed of how Islam treat women. Physical beauty is important but I believe that’s not what we want to be measured by. Women quality is more than just a physical measurement, it is what in the heart and actions. Life is more than just a competition but rather be a mission to help other together striving for better afterlife.

 

Anyway, this article is my superficial explanation about my perspective. It is just an opinion of a young lady but I believe it is powerful enough to give a new insight about women empowerment. Let’s empower women not because they lack of power, but because women sometimes forget their best potential. Empower women to our best potential.
