" We are human beings just like men. We are not goddesses ; we are not meant to be loving , kind and caring all the time ; we don't have to sacrifice everything for the happiness of the family ; we don't have to be chaste ; we don't need to be morally right everytime ; we don't need to be skinny , curvy , hot and beautiful ; we don't need to be well - groomed ; we don't need to give birth , be a mother , or a great home-maker ; and most importantly , we don't need to fulfill any of the men's unrealistic expectations of who woman are. We are woman because we are born so. So , please allow as to live as you are. And women , stop saying these things : " My husband is a nice person , he never took dowry ; my in-laws are nice - they allowed me to work even after marriage , my husband was kind enough to use a part of my salary to support my parents etc , etc., You don't need others approval for being you. Stop allowing others to define who you are and how you must be. Realize , you are into this world just like them - you don't have to be a exceptional human to be a woman and you don't have to fulfill anyone's expectations of being a woman ! Women's day is not about celebrating " womanhood " ( why not celebrate menhood ! ) , it's all about uplifting other women who are not as privileged as you are and making them understand their rights. Don't get carried away by all the niceties said about you. Always remember , there are still so many women out there fighting to live a decent life , women who are denied basic human rights. Make sure to make a difference in one such woman's life. That's the real purpose of celebrating this day. If a woman thinks women's day is all about beautifying oneself to appear more feminine - sorry, you have a long way to go !
BE YOU !
Anisha , being a woman is simple and easy - just remember to be yourself !
