Pressure of being Female

[Guest lnj]

I wonder if other women feel the same as me. I feel pressure being a female sometimes. I love being a woman and wouldn't have it any other way, but many times in 24 hours I feel the pressure of having to be more Female than what I am already. It probably sounds weird, but it's like in this generation, you have to have a zillion facets to your personality to even claim to be a half functional woman. I just want to relax and be me.LNJ

Yes! In my line of work, I am constantly underestimated, undervalued and under appreciated because of my appearance, yet I am expected to look feminine, but work like a man. I am expected to act feminine, yet negotiate a contract like a man. Many of my male clients expect me to be on their arm at different functions (sometimes in heels and an evening gown, no less) and yet work all night while they get to go home to bed. But do I complain? I do, until I payday. And then I thank the good Lord I am a woman.

Marnie your my hero

I am so thankful I am a woman

I am a wife, a mother to 3 sons, I work full-time and work darn hard working 40+ hours per week to come home to do another 3-4 hours of caring for my family, running the boys around and maintaining our home and boy am I exhausted. Dead on my feet would be a better description. Along comes the weeknd, doing grocery shopping, housework, running the boys around, on the go non stop so it seems. Often not much left for 'me time' but am working on that. Like you Marnie I feel undervalued and unappreciated some times but then I come to my Saviour and He takes me in His arms and I sit in His lap and rest in HIM and I feel happy all over and again thank Him for creating me.

Man, we women have had our fair share of the grind but like I said before, I love being a woman but oh boy..it can be tough! LNJ
