Let her be "Herself"

Let her be herself,

Let her dream,

Listen to her.

Let her express herself and not judge,

Let her wear the dress/shorts she had always wanted to wear without a stare,

Let her marry at whichever age she wants,

Let her have babies or not at all, whatever she wants.

Let her go for the job she’s been studying and preparing with lots of hardwork,

Help her out and share her household work as its every one’s responsibility not just her.

Cut those vegetables; wash the clothes, so that she can have a minute for herself.

Listen to her and stand-up for her when she’s groped, harassed at different times in her life.

And learn to accept when she says NO to your proposal, sex or whatever,

Don’t bring your ego and make her guilty for a clear NO.

And foremost make small gestures that makes her feel wanted, loved and respected then you will see the most caring creature in the world.

RESPECT is what she wants and desires all in her life.

So this women’s day, let her be herself and not make her guilty for being HERSELF.
