19th Century Hysteria!



2017 is the year when most attitudes towards women, their mental state, right to self-determination and their penchant for self-sabotage will come under close scrutiny---yes, I did say self-sabotage. I feel sorry for the Americans but mostly for their women and just hope these types of attitudes which brand women as "crazy", "evil", "power-hungry" and heaven forbid "ambitious" do not spread.  We'll be regressing to a time when women were diagnosed with "Hysteria"--controlled by our womb and uterus, a mental anguish, irrationality or outright madness attributed to our sexual  and reproductive organs. Such a diagnosis is laughable now and it should have been laughable then. Same for today-- the things we women are allowing to happen are so ginornmously antiquated, they are simply laughable. There is great temptation to sleep until it's over. But I hope you don't and I hope you do all you can in whichever corner of the world you are to let them feel the strength, intellect and determination of a woman. 2017.
