TheBlindJournalist: What is a Woman?

In this blog post I would like to talk about a subject matter that is extremely close to my heart. It is the subject of women and how some men portray them. Before I start, I would like to clearly state that I am not talking about every male out there.

Is it widely acknowledged that there are men out there who view women as being 'sex objects' or just 'objects' in general who have no feelings or rights. Those types of men disgust me.

Those men who feel they can control a woman and decide what she does and doesn't do. these type of men think they are 'hard men' or in control but actually they are nothing but pathetic, idiotic fools.

There are women out there in the world who are imprisoned into their homes, that have to ask permission to do basic tasks such as visiting family members or going out for a meal with friends. They are being treated like animals. I can understand that the question can be posed; why don't those woman leave or stand up for themselves, but I am sure that there are other factors which entail that it is not that simple, a lot of these women are mothers and therefore worry for their children's well-being and are prepared to put up with their 'lack' of freedom, life and happiness to ensure their children have a roof over their head and food in their stomachs. Words cannot even congratulate those women for being such amazing mothers that are prepared to sacrifice their own happiness for their children. I am not an academic who is going to start pulling out statistics or quotes from books. I am just a 19 year old who is sick and tired of people assuming and treating women like animals.
