The Fate of Women

Is it our fate to be judged, not on our accomplishments?

Our thoughts, our deeds

Who we care for

How we show our love

The Power we wield


or


denigrated for what we lack

our errors, our faults, our flaws.


Of course, if you are reading this, you are scoffing and saying,

"No, we don't do that!"

"We are so much more advanced than that"


But you are wrong.

and here is the proof:

Mummy Reveals Egyptian Queen Was Fat, Balding and Bearded By Meredith F. Small

Hatshepsut was fat and bald,from the Times of India

Yup.

Here we are, nearly 3,500 years after her death and what are we discussing? Her buildings? policies? Why she systematically removed from the annals of history? No.

She was fat and bald.

Not a great queen who ruled in her own right in a time when women were seen and not heard.

But a joke.

because fat is funny.

What hope is there for the rest of us when we are judged this way?
