To All My Ladies

I know that there are countries out there where women are still severely undervalued and mistreated, however I don't think there are many who will disagree when I say that Canada is not I repeat NOT one of these! Over the past several decades, Canadian women have fought and won their equality. We no longer are looked down upon because of our gender and it's awesome.

That being said, we as women must learn to acknowledge ourselves at the same level as the that we demand from society. We need to stop blaming stereotypes that we are acting on. We cannot whine and complain when we are seen as sex objects because it is women who put us there. Instead, prove them wrong! Show them you are intelligent an capable of leading and being strong. The days of the woman behind the man are over and it is time to stand beside them now. The world will treat you how you teach it to treat you. I know that most of my girlfriends, especially the ones that read this are capable and more than willing to make an impact on this world. And so I ask you to go forward and teach the world to treat you with the respect you deserve. Don't hold back, but let yourself be empowered!
