A different kind of tired.

I am tired of being female. I have no doubt I was meant to be one and am proud of being female...also I find it most enjoyable(Loki, Rogal Dorn, Faramir would be a lot less appealing to me if I was a male).

I'm tired of being treated as an object, in the last year I was harassed by 5 guys because I was a female and they could. Two where at my job and three where online. I tried to search myself and see if I had done anything to provoke this. It turned out I had, I wasn't a bitch and treated all people politely.

Growing up, I was encouraged by my parents if possible to be a stay at home mom. But it was never done in a way that belittled me or made me feel less important (as it was mandatory I finished college and lived life a bit before that). Heck, my Dad had us girls outside doing the work of boys since as far back as I can remember. It was said like this, "Men provide financially. Women, provide emotionally." And sometimes my parents will even admit, (my Mom became a nurse when I was 3...I can't remember her as a stay at home mom. Although she says it broke her heart to leave me crying at home.) both have to work to make the ends meet.

It never even entered my mind that women where treated as less then equal or could possibly less. I mean we are all people?

I really hope I can raise my future children (ya know Garviel Scott and Susan Valkyrie) to never treat a women as less then a man. I think if they could have be raised like me so that they won't even THINK of there gender as something important and instead will see there value as person and all people's value equally.
