Empowering Women in 2018.

Empowering women is a subject worthy of discussion. Half of every family are women and girls and I the man care about the girls in my family more than about myself. There are so many girls and young women who don’t realize how high they can go, even if we exclude the women who run corporations, lead countries and my own woman Doctor who keeps me alive so I can write this letter. Look at the news from the last week, and see.

Women in the last week’s news:

Germany’s Chancellor Angela Markell refused to join the US, France, and England in the useless bombing in Syria. She said there are better ways to achieve the goal. Germany didn’t participate. A woman leader in action.

A woman named Captain Tammie Jo Shults landed flight Southwest 1380 safely after an engine blew up and the cabin depressurized. She was a navy pilot, prior to this job, flying one of the most lethal fighter planes in existence. “Her calm voice came clear over the speakers of the control tower requesting medical help upon arrival” stated the New York Times. Can anyone watching this deny that women are equal or superior if they work at it?

Look at the US ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, one of the women who are regularly on the news. When the Americans and allies used more than a billion dollars worth of missiles to bomb Syrian buildings in the middle of the night, reporters asked her if increased sanctions on Russia shouldn’t have been applied instead, which would have been safer and more effective against future lethal gas attacks. Nikki Haley said that the US will apply sanctions within hours. That is what she was told. She forgot that the President possibly owes his elections to the Russians and that the Russians likely have videoes of him with prostitutes which could cost him his presidency. The presidents spoke person, Mnuchin, denounced her statement indicating that she was “confused.” Haley, proudly announced, risking being fired, that she doesn’t get confused and that she didn’t lie. Another example of an empowered, strong woman.

The best example of empowered women is the Me too movement. The girls will no longer be a toy and all power to them.

I will not name Melania Trump or Megan Markel as great examples of successful women, since marrying into money or even Royalty are not good examples of the modern empowered women, regardless of how famous they may become. Women like Stormy Daniels, a porn star who had an affair with Trump, also become famous but serve as a negative role-model for girls. They are yesterday's strong women.

Today’s woman is a confident, beautiful, intelligent female human being. She knows how to handle situations, knows her rights and her limitations. The modern woman is smart and capable while able to accept help since she propagates the species at her own expense. She can lead the nation, run its vital functions, but she still is, mother, wife, grandmother and dearest of them all, Daddy’s little girl. There is nothing wrong with it. God help us all if she chooses to quit. Little girls may dream of becoming Superwoman, but big girls take their place as confident leaders, if and when they wish.
