RE: Steemit Virus Contest! Women: The Mysteries Behind Their Smiles

in #women7 years ago

The good, the bad, and the ugly. My subjective evaluation is that for years, women in our society have been trapped in their "self".It is believed that this is a man's world and the woman is continually subjected to inhuman treatment in the hands of their male counterpart,with the society looking the other way. Do I talk about the girl-child marriage in the northern part of Nigeria where a child who is barely out of the cradle is married off to a man old enough to be her grandfather?They look from their "prison"into a world that has taken all from them. They go through life hurting, their rights denied them, unfulfilled and never able to realize their potentials as women.
Or is it the woman from the Eastern part who is made to go through grotesque ceremonies because she is believed to have killed her husband, the father of her children? She speaks with a lone voice, ignored by the society she has given her all to. Truly this depicts a picture of a woman who has been caged by age-old and time-worn tradition. She ceaselessly screams for release of her gender from captivity. And you know the most frustrating thing? She is meant to smile through it all while her tears are shed in the dark secret of the night .

WOW! You truly got the gist behind the image. It would have been good if you can enter the contest too. You can give it a shot as entry closes tomorrow!

Good luck as you do so and thanks for your comment!

Thank you. I'm highly honoured.
