Emotions and Women
May 4, 2008
As a woman, I am programmed to be emotional. It is encoded in our DNA somehow I am sure. However, I am further prone to be more emotional because I am hypersensitive; it is a trait of many Aquarians really. But in looking at many of the things that upset me, not many of them are unwarranted. One would think that because I am hypersensitive, I would get my feelings hurt easily, but it is not that simple. Sure, they may hurt more easily than the next person, but with rights. If someone I love talks down to me, it will hurt; is that wrong? If someone I care about calls me a name, it will hurt; is that wrong?
What is it in humanity that has told us we can no longer feel? As independent women especially, we are supposed to put on the persona of a man and adhere to the hard exterior that they display so often. This is what ‘we’ asked for, right? Yet, I do not remember signing the petition to be independent. I missed the right to choose I think. Sure, women have more rights now (rightly deserved too), but since when do rights dictate emotions? Just because I have the same rights as men or ask for them even, does not mean I have to be like men. I mean, I do not have a male member (and have no desires to obtain one) so why do I have to have male emotions (or lack thereof)?
I am a hypersensitive individual by nature, but I do not think my role, position, or gender should dictate my emotions any further than nature already does.
