Women Are Living Here…

Before I even say anything, I will start off by saying hold your horses. Put them thangs in check- right now. Because women are living here. We are here. Present. Bold. Ready. And diverse in our existence. Some with this and some with that. And regardless of what anyone wants to call it or not- women are living here. 

I’m not sure what exactly occurred but whatever it is I’m tired of the fight for just simply existing as a woman. It really shouldn’t constantly be a battle of explaining why a woman should be able to wear what she wants. Or have as much money as she wants or romantic partners. We are more than just physical pleasure- even when that’s where the stimulation is coming from. We have brains, intelligence and ideas- despite what anyone has been shown or heard. We, too, are genius. We too, like to fight and cuss or rage in the night. (At least some of us). 

And I don’t know how else to tell you this. Women are living here. We need room to take up space. We need more than just equal pay- we need whatever we are justly asking for! Our struggles are the struggles of humanity. There is no choosing to be treated differently. There is no pink section of the planet for women to reside. We are everywhere. And wherever we are there needs to be more respect, more listening, more asking rather than assuming and did I mention respect? It’s simple. Easier than rocket science. Human beings, in the flesh, literally birthing generations. Feeding the children. Tending to the sick. Running companies. Solving critical issues. And looking damn good! 

If we can’t get past this simple step of true acknowledgment and awareness- I’m not really sure how to truly get anywhere else together.
