Alexa play "The man" by Taylor Swift, I think all women at some point in their lives have wanted to be in a man's shoes or be a man, however you want to see it, all this because men have it "a little" if not quite easier than women on a daily basis, and don't take me wrong, It's not that men have it easy but even in 2024 the gap is disproportionate and has been so historically to a greater or lesser extent, imagine that for centuries in history people have questioned whether you have a soul or not because you have your period or that you are not a subject of law but an extension of your father or your husband or that in the 21st century you cannot make decisions inherent to your body.
If a woman is dedicated to the home and her children, she is a fortune house and if a woman works she is insensitive and does not care about her family, if she dresses sensually because she shows a lot, if she dresses modestly she is a nun or a prude, if you are successful you must have slept with someone, if someone commits a traffic offence it must have been a woman, if you are not successful in love and have several relationships you are a slut, if you make yourself heard you are arrogant and so on and so on, which, let's be honest, are applauded when a man does them. Although I repeat, it's not that men have it easy, I understand that this archetype of the insensitive male provider has also been very harmful, not to mention other toxic masculinities.
Now what would I do if I were a man for some time? I would try to seek some high ranking position, president, congressman, social leader or leader in some big company and take actions such as enacting laws, programs, guidelines and some kind of incentive or simply advocate for change that would seek equality among people. Yes, without favouring genders because I think that's where the problem has always been, we have never been treated as equals and because we are not, we feel the need to see ourselves separately and that's where the gap arises.
Honestly, I hope that the moment I become a woman again my perspective will change for the better and not just confirm that being a man is easier or being a woman is harder, I think I would understand that as human beings we all have challenges and as I explained before, we must see ourselves as human beings so that there is no difference and well, I honestly believe that I would be relieved because I love being a woman.
That's all for today, thank you for making it this far.
