Gender Essay: I M A Strong Independent Woman

Improved Essays
I proudly say constantly “I’m a woman!” to be more precise “I’m a strong independent woman”. The reason behind this it’s because growing up I always felt that being a woman was a sign of weakness. However, over the years I learned that I should never see women as that, because females have shown to be very strong over the years. Both of my moms made sure that I never felt less just because I’m a woman and they did a good job. Most of my life I have felt 100% comfortable and happy with my gender, but it always bother me that women are seen in society as less compare to men. Here’s a playlist that explains my views on my gender and how it has changed over the years.

I’m not trying to be feminist with this song or trying to imply that girls have a superior power than men; I firmly believe that both should be equal. However, it is a very empowering song for me because it makes me see that I should never be ashamed of being a woman. I have amazing capabilities to do whatever guys do; my gender should never be a reason for someone to disrespect me in anyway or a reason to earn less money when successful. I have all the rights to make decisions about my body and how I want to dress. As annoying this song can be, it does makes women feel so empowerment to be who we are and not be ashamed of it.
b. Favorite line: “Disrespect us, no they won 't. Boy, don 't even try to touch me.”

a. It’s very well known that men earn more money than women, although it should be a 50/50. As a woman, I’ve learned that I should never depend financially on a men or anyone in general. With only 20 years I’ve learned to be almost completely independent and I plan to keep it that way. Once again, my gender doesn’t define my dependence on others.
b. Favorite line: “Pay my own fun, oh, and I pay my own bills. Always 50/50 in relationships.”
10. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun- Cyndi

    Make Me Proud is a song created by Drake, featuring Nikki Minaj. The lyrics of this song can be analyzed through a feminist perspective. Drake begins the first verse by highlighting both positive and negative female characteristics in a provocative fashion. He continues with this approach throughout the song, contradicting the way that he celebrates women with opposing points of view, and then manipulates the song lyrics to also define those contradicting characteristics in a positive light. The sexual references are like lightning bolts throughout the song; rocking the world of the listener by enticing them with the controversy that woman can use sex for power.…

    Beauty matters. Well, at least for some. From the clothes you choose to wear (and the ones you don’t) to the items you own, everything surrounding you changes how people perceive you, even things completely out of someone’s control. Pressures to adhere to societal norms can cause long-term harm for certain people, but others can take this concept in stride. Due to different upbringings, along with different environmental influences, it allows for a range of perspectives.…

    In the last couple of years, I have been weightlifting in the gym. I initially took it up to gain strength and a leaner physique at the behest of my boyfriend, but partial credit is owed to my mom, who always inspired me to do what I want and be strong. Weightlifting to me is very rewarding in that I gain physical strength and confidence, yet there 's no one to compete with but myself. It 's about personal goals and being my personal best--not just physically but in all aspects of my life. Though traditionally weightlifting was solely for men, recently more and more women are getting into it.…

    In Beyoncé performances and lyrics on stage, she always makes a visual and speaks on how it's important to be an individual, your own independent person that is powerful. Although, if women were to be more prominent in the world, life, family and work priories will crash fiercely. As long as women are bearing the children in our species, women will not view child rearing and child care in the same way as men do, and will prioritize the responsibilities around it differently. Beyoncé sings in harmony about how women run the world, but why don't we actually run it, women are capable of so many astonishing accomplishments, but they're all hidden by the shadow of a man. Women deserve to be prominent in the world we now live if it’s what they desire for; it shouldn’t be that hard to treat women…
