Dedicated to GIRLS! @tenniebenson and other girls or ladies in our great family.
1. Not every girl wants to get married by 23.
So before you ASSUME she's of
marriageable age, ask her what her views on
marriage are. One hint, might save
you the drama- just because she does not
want to get married now does not
mean she never will. She has other plans for
herself right now, let her live a little.
2. Just because a girl wishes to do her PhD
after Masters does not mean she
doesn't want to settle down in life. Give her a
break, and respect the fact that she
has the confidence to take that up, cos yeah,
PhD is no joke. There will come a
point when she would happily devote herself
to her family, and balance it out with
her work life. Her degrees, or lack of them,
won't make any difference. Let her
study while she wants to, okay?
3. Just because she is 27 and unmarried does
not mean she's been rejected by
many men. Maybe, being single is a choice
she has made.
4. Having a boyfriend does not make her
characterless.
5. Just because she has recently gone through
a break up doesn't mean she is
vulnerable and available.
6. Just because most of her friends are boys,
does not mean she is "having a
good time" with all of them.
7. Just because she has a drink in her hand
does not mean she is an alcoholic.
8. Just because she is ambitious doesn't mean
she isn't a family person.
9. Just because she doesn't discuss her plans
doesn't mean she's clueless
about life. Give her a chance, alright?
10. Just because she is outspoken doesn't
mean she is a rebel.
11. Just because she comes home late from
work does not mean she is sleeping
around with her colleagues.
12. After a hectic week, give her some time to
relax over the weekend. Don't
make that one weekend party make her look
like a she's a frivolous party-girl
without a job.
13. Just because she is out shopping alone
does not mean she is depressed or
lonely. It's how she relaxes, respect that.
14. Just because she is on a holiday alone does
not mean she doesn't have
company. Maybe it's a break to get back her
lost confidence, or maybe that's
how she is. Admire her spirit instead of giving
her advice, okay?
15. Just because she is a woman doesn't mean
she can't kick ass in military
school.
16. Just because she doesn't know how to
cook doesn't mean she won't make a
good wife. Remember when you were just
married and cooked chicken curry
which was um, a disaster?
17. Just because she likes everything pink and
shiny and fluffy doesn't mean she
lives in her own world. She can handle some
situations much better than her male
counterparts.
18. Just because she is pretty does not mean
she is a whore. And just because
she is friendly does not mean she is flirting
with you.
Yes, they cry, they are emotional; they take
things personally, and sometimes over-
react to situations. But this does not give any
one the right to judge them in the
wrong way. Times are changing; don't
confine ladies within those boundaries, no
matter how orthodox you are. There are some
who might be fighting this losing
battle, yet compromising on their decisions
and plans, just to please society.
Let us respect Them
