Description
Caged. That is how women feel, caged.Trapped, enclosed, imprisoned.
Staring at a world we are made to be part of.
Yet, we are not welcomed.
So, we feel the need to prove ourselves: our smarts, our capacity, and our strength…
Do we have anything to prove?
Why do I have to prove anything?
We do not wish for compliments, we seek opportunities.
We do not wish to explain our nonexistent husbands or childless homes.
I do not wish to be questioned based on my age or looks.
My work is not cute.
My sweat is not my hormones.
My drive is not my need to find a mate.
Don’t teach me how to act, teach yourself how to live with it.
yeah, i had to draw this... i just had too.
Hope you like it!

Break out of your safe space and just muscle your way pass the angry snowflakes like Mr.Plow! You can develop the emotional maturity to say "These words are not mine. I'm not buying what they're pushing!" You can change your perception from "hurtful and mean" to "hilarious and stupid"
You hide: they keep coming at you. You push back: they'll back off and go look for someone else. Put on your mean face and grab life by the cojones!

That is creative it got me thinking of that we all shout be treated the same, bird or human. (But then I don’t think it would work unfortunately)
