Does being a woman mean an adult human female? Is it a female adult with long hair, boobs, a round butt, full lips, or wears makeup? What makes a woman a woman? Is it her body or her mind? If she isn’t sexy, does this mean she is not a woman? Or is being a woman someone who can bear children, and clean a house? Is it one of these, all of these, or none? Or can she be both a woman and a man? Does she have to be born as a woman? I want you to think about this long and hard because the answer is different for everyone and that is ok, I think it’s just a matter of respect for what a person chooses for themselves and how they want to be viewed.
Regardless women are well-rounded human beings, and it doesn’t matter if you were born a woman or later became one. We can do everything we set our minds to. However, we have the choice to be or not to be a certain way and others need to respect other people’s choices.
This month Palo Magazine brought topics that were of interest to our readers. Here are a few topics that our readers asked for. Topics such as why when a woman has an opinion she may be called a bitch, how it may or may not be tough to work in a manufacturing environment, how many women have false senses of security, how to get woman-owned business certifications, women and our time, women who were first in a specific field, immigrant female workers and how they have shaped the United States, how not to let your gender decide for you, women who support a man’s dreams, and many more women topics this month. I’m immensely proud of all the topics we covered.
As you can see women are taking a stand and are asking to be heard. We not only want a place at the table we want to have a voice at the table and be part of the growth. We want our voice and our opinion to be heard in conversations, whether it be at home, at work, in a place of politics, the music industry, TV any and everywhere. Happy Women’s Month!
