For years, we have perceived men to hold all the power and women to sit and wait on them. Men were leaders, the only kind to ever hold the position of presidency, while women followed orders. Men had constant control, even over the entire world, but women had to fight to even be considered for that. Men are strong, tough human beings, and women are the ones who break down. Of course, this is all according to society's stereotypes. We look at men, and we want to see someone unbreakable. We take the body of a male and define him by that because men are never supposed to be seen. We look at women, and we try to find vulnerability. We take the body of a woman and look beyond that because women allow themselves to be seen. Women feel emotions, and sometimes too many. But who ever said that these qualities would make a woman passive and a man's repression strong? Women are seen as creative, imaginative, innovative human beings, and what are all those things without vulnerability? And what is strength without vulnerability? Take Alice Paul, a woman but a fighter. She had every opportunity to lose everything and everyone in order to create a society where women would have rights. She was seen. She was starving. She was breaking down and then she was moving. She was one of the most vulnerable human beings, and in that, one of the strongest people known to this day. She changed the way an entire group of people lived. And yet why, do we find stiff, hardhearted men to be the strong, powerful ones? Maybe the strength is in that part where we allow ourselves to break down and start over.
