Being A Woman Is Tiring

(By Kate Halim) - Truly, being a woman is tiring...
A woman shouldn't talk about sex openly, it is not right.
A woman shouldn't tell a man what turns her on, he might think she's a whore.
A woman shouldn't ask a man she's tripping over out, he will think she's loose.
A woman shouldn't scream during sex, her man might think she lacks morals.
A woman shouldn't talk back at a man, even the ones who disrespect her on the road, or she might lose a husband material.
A woman shouldn't eat gizzard, it is against the tradition.
A woman shouldn't say no to her man's request for sex even if she just delivered a baby, she might push him outside.
A woman shouldn't wear tight dresses so that she won't be raped.
A woman shouldn't own properties even if she has money to do so, she must buy them in her husband's name.
A woman must not question her husband's decision even if it is destroying her family.

A woman shouldn't remarry after she loses her husband, people might think she killed him.
A woman shouldn't be bringing out money for the upkeep of the house, she should first give the money to her husband so that people won't think she's the one wearing the pants at home.
A single woman shouldn't live alone or buy a car if she can afford it so that she won't chase away prospective suitors.
A woman shouldn't be on top during sex, she is not the head.
A woman shouldn't decide what to do with her body, her husband owns her and she must do what he wants.
It is tiring being a woman sometimes.
Women should be allowed to live for themselves.

Enough of all these unrealistic societal expectations and dictates.
