The Sassy Teacher Writes

God made man and woman. He said it is good. It doesn't matter whom he made first, all that matters is ; he made them both for each other. He made them to be companions, friends, lovers, each other's support , to be each other's guiding light when either of them goes dim. He made them for so many reasons and not just procreation. Through these years we've seen our society which comprises of men and women both, change in all sorts of ways. Our thinking, way of handling things, approach et all.

In fact, we all should cherish womanhood. I’d fight for our rights. I’d be a support to my husband and my family. Whenever I have kids, I think I’d be a good enough Mom too. I’d do household chores happily, be dressed like a homeless drug addict , then come evening and I’d be dressed immaculately for an outing. I’d be a mentor to younger girls around me. I’d be a patient listening ear to the elderly whom I meet. I’d shop to my heart’s content. Eat a little too much and complain that I’m...
