To be a woman?

Question

What does it mean to be a woman? Not, "it means I can wear makeup and do my nails", I mean what does it mean to you to be a strong willed woman. I've faced hardships...I joined the military and decided to pursue law enforcement despite dealing with sexual harassment, but as a woman, I must go on. Why??? It's something I can't put words to. Can anyone else help me put it in words?

Answer 1

maybe its because women are always looked at as the weaker s*x and there are sterotypes that you know, we can only be a house wife and shop, that we need a man to keep us safe and out of harm. that kind of stupid stuff.

so maybe you feel you must go on to prove to others, or maybe just yourself, that anything a male can do, a woman can also.

Answer 2

You ARE the definition of a woman... and not just because you were born that way. A woman, a genuine woman, knows her faults... she knows there is no limitation to the things she can do. She encounters problems of all kinds and still manages to keep her head held high. She shows no sign of insecurity... she smiles.... is genuinely happy. A woman has a good head on her shoulders, marches to her own drums.... overcomes all the obstacles in her way. She is secure and content with the person who stands before her eyes. She realizes that she needs not a man to feel beautiful... she needs no man to make her feel important... she depends on no one, mentally, other than herself. A woman lets.... well, yah,  you know what I'm getting at. =] Have a beautiful day. <3

Answer 4

To be self sufficient.  We don't want to be really taken care of anymore.  Well, chivalry is another thing, but I am capable of working just like a man is.  It makes me proud that I handle things all alone, with the grace and style that only a woman can pull off.

Answer 5

Women are awesome! Without them, we guys would be lost sometimes, not kidding. They save you when you can't save you're self's and they are beautiful and delicate, like a flower but a strong flower!

Answer 6

I read a quote once that I think might serve well as an answer.  It might take some digestion to 'get it', but here goes:

"A man's greatest weakness is his strength.

A woman's greatest strength is her weakness."

Answer 7

me ....

i'd like to know you are the meaning as well.

you need not prove anything to anyone...you can stop, start or keep on going. it's your choice!

you are the best person you can be at each moment. you know what you are worth!

Answer 8

I dont think it means anything... we can do just as much as guys be a strong and all that. We are just a smart and yes men and women are different but why do you  need to explain yourself as a woman, before being a woman you are a human! :)

Answer 9

we need to be needed. thats just what women want. if a guy can do something that we cant we wont to be able to do that same thing so that next time we can help and be needed to do that something. make sense?
