This ones for the girls

You know...growing up I always thought i'd have to do something radically amazing
to break through that supposed "glass ceiling" hovering over us women
especially American women

you see...American women are already thought of as snobby, stuck up, assertive, and sometimes overly masculine.

You see when i was traveling in southern Turkey which is very traditionalist and conservative, there were parts of town where women didn't go after dark. Even if she was accompanied by a male.
But as an obvious American women, no one said a word about that unwritten rule to me, no one enforced it and they welcomed me into any place i would stop. they would sit and drink tea with me and chat with me about whatever!

I'm not sure if this is because as an American woman, i'm seen as less then a woman or because i'm a foreigner they are happy to make exceptions to their customs...either way American women are different

anyways i thought i was supposed to be bold and beautiful and take the world by the balls and make him submit since nothing would be given to me as a female.

Little did i know that this is a different world then Hilary Clinton would like to make it seem.

I bristled when i heard her speech about her putting a thousand cracks in the proverbial glass ceiling.

what did she think women were doing long before she was born...(granted Upper class women probably weren't doing to much...but that is her class not the majority of American women)

The majority of American women are middle or lower class...meaning our mothers worked hard, took care of children, houses and husbands. Our classes of women have been working for years...not staring up at some ceiling made of glass and hoping and wishing one day for a rich white lady to come and break through it for them.

How arrogant Lady Clinton...and you should be ashamed of yourself!

I'm saying that the only boundaries we have in this world are of our own making....our only limitations are those we put on ourselves....

This blog seemed a lot more coherent when i started out..but sometimes my thoughts lead me places i would never have even considered going.

Moral of this story:
Be as you are....Do what you dream, Follow your passions....nothings stopping you but you.
