It’s just so painful in this 21st century where we have educated men and women who know the value of life but still allow Female Genital Mutilation to go on in some societies and early marriages leading to such women losing their dream even before it begins.

Men should not use women as toys for sexual satisfaction

Men sleeping with as many women as possible in the name of love, thinking a woman is just a playing tool is deplorable. Men think they can just throw away women once they are done toying with them not knowing that such women are like wounded lions and are not going to remain the same no matter how much repair is done.

Many times women are blamed but sometimes they are the way they are because of what they went through. Call me a feminist but a woman is someone who will be the way you treat and act according to circumstances.

Do you know what hurts most is that the same men want to marry virgins and leave the ones they damaged!
