The ballad of the independent woman


The miss independent woman. This is the woman who studied hard to build up impeccable credentials at school. She graduated cum laude and never focused on any other aspect of her life but exceeding her male counterpart in the workforce. She looks down on being the traditional housewife and mother because since times changed she feels she should, due to her believing anything a man can do she could better mentality, be as equal to the man. She works hard and plays none. She is more ready and willing to have multiple sex partners because since the men do why can’t women so therefore its perfectly fine. Men are embracing her and singing songs about her not because they respect and want to marry her but only because men don’t want to men true men and has slowly downgraded their role in society. Men nowadays can’t handle the pressure. They didn’t have a father in the household and only saw the mother being a strong woman only because she had to be. They need help so what only way to ask for help in being a man is to delusion women into thinking they could be the boss right along with them. This independent lady fell right into the trap. This lady struggled, suffered and persevered in her 20s, 30s and even her 40s and 50s only to find herself INDEPENDENT! She doesn’t know she has been lied to, by unhappy women and lesbians, into thinking its good to be the captain of the ship, miss boss woman in the office and getting artificial insemination. She is starting to see there are a high number of women from all races and backgrounds are prospering in the workforce but are lonely, desperate, unhappy and bitter. “Where are all the men?” she said. “I thought guys loved independent women. I thought they liked when a women pays for everything. Takes care of her own bills, runs her own office, very opinionated and doesn’t take any slack from a man that is beneath her socially, financially and educationally.” She notices these same guys that praised women for their feminism are marrying the exact opposite of them! As time goes this woman gets sad, more unhappy and so desperate she is more inclined to take just about any man in order to fill that void she ignored for so long due to her wanting to compete with the men. Still sort of unhappy she asked other men why they didn’t want to marry her. One guy in particular told her, “Well let me put it like this, if you’re on a ship, the man is the captain and you are the captain who’s tending to the ship? You might feel why can’t the man tend to the ship and the lady be the captain but truth be told it’s not natural. Women by nature are nurturing and sweet but now you independent women want to act like men, talk like men, dress like men, be like men. If you’re taking care of everything then you don’t need us. Just as it’s also wrong for a man to take care of everything. We need each other in order for us to complete each other in different ways. You cannot forget the man’s home is his castle (the captain) and the woman is the queen (co-captain). As long as the woman got a great man that truly loves her, cherishes her, respects her, go to the end of the world with her, appreciates her, marries her, raises a family with her, sacrifices for her, protects her, fights for her then there should be no problem for the woman to let the man be captain of the ship and she sits on the side making sure the man is fit for battle. The role of the woman is different from the role of a man. The problem is the woman wants to take our role and some men are letting it happen, therefore disrupting the natural process of life. It’s kind of hard for a man to be a man and feel like a man when our job is taken away. Those men say they like independent women but secretly they like you only because they don’t want to take care of you like you should because like you say ‘you can take care of yourself.’ Don’t get it twisted it’s good to have your own but when you start thinking your better than us and can be us it’s wrong and sickening. That’s why the divorce rates are so high because the roles have changed and not for the better. You have learned how to be a good worker, a good student, a good lover, a good boss, a good girlfriend but never learned how to be a humble and satisfied WOMAN!” The woman left feeling sad about life and went home to her work and her guy. He told her being independent was ok and she felt a little better. Time went by they got married. She felt her life was good until she found out her husband was on the down low and gave her AIDS. She divorced him. As she was sitting in her big home she bought and paid for she couldn’t help but to wonder, “I guess this is what it means to be independent.”
