Lpurring and others..
yes it is true that in all cultures mothers/women have to take the blame and
bear the heaviest price for just about everything that is wrong, injurious, and
unjust in the societies they live in which HAVE been invented by the
patriarchial dominant culture.
blamed and victimized by the societies which set and enforce the rules set by
men. But there is such thing as a culture like this which offers just about
every individual an opportunity to educate themselves and LOOK behond that which
is presented to them. There is a great deal of difference betweeen a woman in an
country in development and one in a society such as this which offers some of
the most sophisticated technology and asses to communication of any country in
the world.
There is, as far as Iam concerned,NO excuse for any mother not to understand the
fact that their daughters continue to be the victims of a society which simply
loathes and rejects them. There is such thing as ''free will' and along this
there is such thing as intellectual free will which they should be able to
utilize to educate their daughters. Women should be able to see and understand
the negative elements in the societies that attempt to subjugate them. If a
woman knows how to read and write and she is able and willing to pick up a
newspaper she should be able to see a few things...they should be able to
identify ...all by themselves the ''twists'' which keeps them in their place and
they should, without a doubt, muster enough pride in being women to say ENOUGH
!!! for themselves and specially for their daughters...
Its called pride, courage and willingness....its called being a woman...
