The Importance Of Self Empowerment Among Women

By Lucy Caulkett-

Self empowerment is a very important tool for every woman. Every man should likewise seek self empowerment, but my focus is on women because many women are taken for granted by men.

Men take women for granted in relationships and in the work place. It has long been a popularized idea that it us alright for men to cheat, but once a woman does the same act, it makes her a whore.

Only in the chauvinistic world of male bullying, can such nonsensical ideology hold up. We hear how in some societies, men think it is in their right and power to kill women who they believe have cheated.

This is in addition to the fact these men already control their every day dressing,  monitor their whereabouts, and make life completely unbearable for them.

Then we have men in the more developed parts of the world like here in the UK and in the U.S, where male bosses feel they have the right to freely grope their female employees, without fear of consequence or repercussions.

Women should form strong alliances with other women and address these things. Communicating in writing to your boss about those things you despise is one way of keeping a track record of your discomforts.

Even in relationships, a powerful woman will means no words in letting her partner know what she does not like. If it perseveres,  he should be sent an email,  not just a text.

I have found it useful in past times to involve a  reliable and impartial third party when I encountered serious challenges in my previous relationships.

Many often say that others should not be involved in your relationship. That’s true, however, a couple can mutually agree to involve a trusted third party in times of tense disagreement that may require an external voice.

An empowered woman always has a strong intuition,  and responds well to common sense. If a man is no good for you, jog him on! It’s that simple.  If he is violent to you, a serial cheat,  drug or alcohol dependent, he needs to go.

No amount of familiarity or sexual addiction should compromise the dignity or serenity of an empowered woman. Any woman who puts up with a prolonged amount of nonsense, has not much sense herself.

The grass is always greener somewhere else, and it sometimes pays to be on your own for a while and be completely disentangled with the idea of being coupled all the time.

Women should always combine their forces to fight any form of sexual discrimination they encounter at work, and battle together against any form of domestic abuse they or their friends may be experiencing in their private relationships.

Lodging complaints to higher authorities or the police will be the way forward sometimes, but when this produces slow results, extra pressure from your  empowered female friends can go a long way in achieving results.
