If you're not part of the solution...

Posted by 5WE on October 07, 2015

I have come to believe that gender bias is the one form of discrimination that has fully permeated our culture. What makes it so pervasive is that many people, men and women alike, don't recognise that there even is a problem. Any action, no matter how small or seemingly innocuous, that can perpetuate this inequality is contributing to a culture that places men above women. So any comment unchallenged or inequity unrecognised is tacit acceptance of a status quo that is anything but. For too long, I have been part of this problem, but hopefully, now I can be a small part of the solution.

I, too, have been part of the problem for over 10 years. My husband slowly but surely turned me into his miserable shadow. I forgot what it is when you can be yourself, when you love, respect and appreciate yourself. More and more I pushed myself into a far dark corner, fulfilling the desires and plans of my husband. I filed for divorce https://flonlinedivorce.com/ while secretly visiting my brother. I went to visit him for a month, under the pretense of helping with my newborn nephew. I was so afraid of all this. And now I find it funny that I was so scared. I got through it, got through it, and I know I’ll never go back to something like this again.
