The 21st Century Woman...3






The 21st century is an era that have witnessed the use of repealing laws that discriminate against women and girls, laws that created gaps between boys and girls in education, technology, public services.

 

 Women who were before labelled as housewives, weaker vessels, Kitchen keeper, their husbands nurse; these special traits which was often manipulated to breed inferiority in women has been replaced through the advancement of education and exposure of women. Boys and girls now receive education, women are now given positions in many dominating professions such as Engineering, Military, computer programming and so on. The 21st century woman now occupies (26) percent of jobs in artificial intelligence.  Greater representation of women now questions economic systems that fails to deliver economic progress.

 

However, while it is important to expound the fact that the 21st century woman can be anything she wants to be and can do everything that can improve the economic status, it is also pertinent to outline some negative trends women have been experiencing in this 21st century.

 

  Women in this Century are still regarded as sex tools, business advertisements are void without nudity. Laws that would repressed underage marriage as seen in countries or regions with abstract laws have not been fully implemented. Women still experience abuse verbal, physical and domestic violence, laws that should enhance a woman's right against sexual violence particularly in marriage are not fully implemented.

 

Although women in the 21st century have made for themselves their place in the business world and are still striving, culture and social norms have kept them as minority. Recent research shows that in the world women still earns (77%) for every dollar received my men.

 

The 21st century woman has advanced and has gained recognition but this advancement will remain under threat if the women are still seen as second-class citizens and if adequate laws that will recognize the female gender are not entrenched. It is therefore, imperative that we join hands with organizers of women development programs, not just seeking for how to control power but more importantly on equal inclusion and protection of women's right.

Longest Nails on the Planet!

This is Christine Walton from Las Vegas -- who has the world's longest fingernails measuring a freaky 19ft 9in (601.9cm).She has set a record in Guiness world book of records. That's 10ft 2in (309.8cm) on her left hand and 9ft 7in (292.1cm) on her right hand and the 45-year-old singer says she hasn’t cut her fingernails since 1990. Christine insists the nails don’t prevent her from living a normal life; she can still braid hair, cook and drive, however, she does confess to struggling when shopping for clothes: "I’ll see the cutest shirts, and they’ll have these skinny arms and I know that my nails would just rip straight through them, she said.

Her current length of the fingernails are the equivalent length of a killer whale; two...

The Empowered woman

You won't agree with this only if you are not a woman,but if you are a woman,then congratulations to you.You are a mysterious being but then again this congratulation goes to the 'real woman'. The real woman is that person that makes everything difficult seem easy.She is a hard worker,faithful friend and partner,a good manager,a home maker,a lover,a confidant,a mother,a sister,a daughter,a visioneer...Someone,may say,"Yea, ok...I'm not a mother or I'm single and so does that make me not a real woman?Of course not!. Age,class,status,beauty or achievements do not define a real woman,but character does. I can't but wonder at the stories we hear these days about women.I marvel at the rate of evil perpetuated by women in our society.Prostitution is old wives tale but when women are involved in armed robbery,kidnappings,terrorism,gang rape,adultery,fraud to mention a few,then by a...
