Women are objects
 |
| https://www.bustle.com/articles/167897-9-subtle-ways-women-are-taught-to-view-themselves-as-objects As writer Suzannah Weiss explains in this article, women are taught by society that they are sex objects, with the purpose of satisfying the desires of men. Unfortunately as we grow up, we don't even realize this influence, yet it still pervades how we view other women and even ourselves. But a woman is so much more than an object. |
Women Love
 |
| This beautiful woman is my mother. She is capable of love that I cannot even understand. She loves me, my sister, and my brother (pictured) and manifests in through everyday sacrifice, and she has been doing so for over 25 years. She is more than an object. |
Women Create
 |
| https://www.womenwhocreateuk.com/ The creations of talented women are innumerable. Women can paint, sew, decorate, build, and create new ideas. This is what makes the world more beautiful. |
Women are complicated
It's not about the nail (1). How many of us have heard someone say girls are complicated? Though there are also valid principles that can be derived, this video is an illustration of this conception: that understanding a woman's feelings is illogical to men.
Women Speak
Elizabeth Nyamayaro (2) is just one of hundreds of women who have given a TED Talk, speaking on one of their passions. How many wonderful and amazing things we can learn from women who speak.
Women Understand
 |
| Elaine S. Dalton (3) was the General Young Women's President for the LDS Church for the years that I was in high school. She was released from this calling right as I turned 18. She understood girls and the experiences they were going through. She used that understanding to reach out and lift. Her messages impacted me and my own self-worth at a time that I needed it. |
Women are weak
This Polish politician (4) voiced an opinion that, though becoming less accepted, used to just be the way of life: women are weaker than men. Biological arguments could be made and refuted. The real reason behind this assumption is the lasting influence of previous discrimination. Women are not weak.
Women save
 |
| Women are capable of saving. Just under 15% of the U.S. Military consists of women who are dedicated to protecting their country and its citizens. (5) |
Women impact
There is no impact comparable to that of a mother. A mother influence spans across generations. The entire population can look to someone who was a mother in their life. A woman has the capability to make an impact as a loving mentor to more than just her own children, but to the whole world. This requires strength. (6)
Women are scared
 |
| https://www.buzzfeed.com/juliegerstein/29-things-women-avoid-doing-out-of-fear-for-our-safety?utm_term=.tyEy1l1B3#.ehAxZvZAV Unfortunately because of the dangers of this world, women have to fear for their safety and take precautions. This is already evidence of a great problem in our society. However we also need to remember that there is more to women than fear. |
Women explore
 |
| Amelia Earhart was a hero of mine as a child. She was a woman who was not afraid. She was one of the only women pilots, and she didn't let that stop her from excelling and fulfilling her dream to explore. Though she died tragically, she is an example of defying expectations and being adventurous. (7) |
Women stand
 |
| Throughout history there are examples of women who defended what they believed to be right. Women's rights, civil rights, and even problems of equality today are causes that have been supported and at times carried by women who believed and bravely stood up. (8)
