The author really went through terrible woman problems but I'm glad she overcame.

I have read some comments on domestic violence. I just want to say both men and women suffer domestic violence. In most cultures I have read about where women are superior to the men. Men go through different forms of oppressions and abuse. I think what is more important is a total change in our mindset to respect an value any human irrespective of gender,

The most common is how women are treated inferiorly. Women are treated as weaklings and even when they do succeed, it is assumed that they used other means to get favours in other to succeed.

Women circumcision and rape terrifies me. I also believe no woman should ever be physically abused.

It’s sad that a lot of cultures still think this way and treat women badly in disguise of tradition and culture.

It's really sad to see the way everything is differentiated between men and women. Of course there are differences but it becomes bad when women are viewed as objects of sex rather than what they can actually contribute.

Yes because when I travelled to Africa I saw villages that where run by women and they were living in peace.

Yes there are places like that. I have learnt this in pursuing my career in civil engineering. As a woman I can't proactively play a role as a construction worker and expect to be as effective as men . It's a line you need to draw for your safety and also love being a woman in a male dominated environment enough not to want to be like a man.

I believe they are still villages where women rule, and if you find any village, the people are always very strong and brave, hardworking and industrious.
