Strong Women!!!!!!!!

Women are the weaker vessel or so they say so…..

 

How can a woman be the weaker vessel when we have historically held down the crib?

Not to mention put in our 40 hours of work, cook dinner, pay bills, and help with homework. .did I say and kids?

 

No matter how many kids we raise from one to as many as 10

We can provide with little or nothing and still have something to give

 

It’s more than just homework, its science fairs, ballet, karate, acting classes, b-ball and bake sales and more

We stretch and stretch until our missions complete whether we are single parents or a unit we are the core

 

They say women can’t be a daddy to her male son because we are not men

You fertilized your seed and left me alone to raise him what happen then?

 

We just have to continue to fight for our rights and let the men know that we are just as capable

When my tire gets a flat I fix it, I am not waiting on a man to do it for me is that not admirable?

 

They say women are the weaker vessel and the Bible seem to support that theory

I don’t argue with the word of God but I know one thing for sure, the men made them weary

 

Brain washing us making us feel like we are weak because we are emotional and hold female dominated positions at the agency

While most companies are ran and monopolized by men and in addition to that they the men hold the Presidency

 

Women are always hired holding the same position as a man, yet their salaries reflect different

We are told we should be lucky to be able to do what we do in this country so does that mean we are adherent?

 

Harriet Tubman led thousands of slaves to freedom with a severe head injury

Her extreme dedication is what helped us to become free and end slavery

 

Harriet Tubman was a strong black woman that risked her life to save others

Traveling hundreds of miles on foot with men, women, children, and their mothers

 

They say women are the weaker vessel because we can’t brawl with a man, can’t beat a man

I say it ain’t so cause I know some women that can beat a man physically and ya know we can!!!

 

It’s like men feel like they are more physically challenging and if that’s all you got

I will accept that blow because we have more to offer but I am sure you heard that a lot

 

When men get sick it seems like their whole world comes to an end

Women are so much stronger we keep on keeping on because we are Godsend

 

Maybe I am the skim off the milk; I may rise to the top and to the cause before I die and before I fall

I don’t think we are equals because men can’t do what I do but I can do what he can like Apostle Paul

 

So the next times you feel froggy go ahead and jump

You may have fertilized my seed but I carried it for 9 months

 

They say women are the weaker vessel but behind every strong man there’s a strong woman

So why do they verbally assonate us and make us second class citizens in our land. Understand?

 

I am not the male bashing type but the truth must be heard

You can never do what I do but it would be cool if you learned

 

Just because you’re the man and pay the bills don’t exempt you from picking up the kids or household duties

We expect you to help out just as much as we do cause like you we work too we are more than just a beauty

 

We didn’t magically become domesticated it happened only through trial and error

Did you know most men are chefs, not women so that within it self should be the bearer?

 

They say women are the weaker vessel but it seems like the reverse to me

The next time you fix your mouth to say that remember a women raised Thee!
