Since the beginning of time, women have always been held back and even more determined to break through the so-called “glass ceiling.” to appreciate the magnitude of what it means when Hillary Clinton became the first woman to be a presumptive nominee of a major political party in the United States, one must recognize women’s professional history about social responsibility. When analyzing this record, one wonders why women are unsatisfied with their God-given gifts in life.
We cannot live without life, and it cannot be artificially recreated.
Only after meditating on the whole picture will one ask: What are our God-given gifts in life? Are they natural abilities we gain from birth or talents we develop? I recognize that everything is natural and do not believe that there is anything under the sun that is not a part of nature—even the elements of human origin. But without forgetting the views of an atheist, I would say that God-given gifts relate to our expected capabilities. For example, life itself is a gift from God.
We cannot live without life, and it cannot be artificially recreated. The ability to perform mundane responsibilities | walking, talking, learning, eating, reading, writing, singing, arts and craft, critical thinking … | and the expression of super ordinary talents that lead to a defined social responsibility are all parts of nature are gifts of God. The functions of the systems in our bodies are gifts as well. Deoxyribonucleic acid, digestion, circulation, reproduction, respiration, vision, audio, stimuli, instinct, smell, taste, sleep …
Social responsibilities are the jobs, occupations, and other responsibilities that may contribute to the adequate progress of the community. Women are grateful for their God-given gifts in life! It should be shameful even to debate if women deserve a fair and equal shot at education, occupation, governance, policy development, faith, and the defense of their country. I think women are fed up with religious doctrines that portray them as the weaker sex and others that go so far as to say women are impure because of their menstrual cycle.
Women have played a direct and subliminal role in every progress of humanity.
Women are simply tired of being undervalued in many areas of work. She is not physically strong enough. She can get pregnant, she can be a distraction, she can betray the faith, and she can complain and push for change in long-standing traditions. In this respect, the United States is late to the party. The head of the British Empire can be a woman or a man. A woman leads Germany, and so is Liberia, a country in West Africa. Women have been sovereign rulers since the beginning of time. However, men have had an undue advantage in positions of power.
Women were made when Isaac Newton, Steve Jobs, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Bill Gates worked on their inventions. Have women taken the time to study a particular subject and locked themselves away to crack a code? No! Have women risked poverty, humiliation, and even death on a quest to discover the secret to unlock a great invention? Maybe not. But many women have supported the men who made those inventions. Women have played a direct and subliminal role in every progress of humanity.
This should be even more evidence of the reasoning behind why Hilary Clinton’s clinch of the magic number of delegates in her 2016 run for president of the United States is genuinely historic. From generation to generation, women have been in the shadow of greatness. They often play the role of a loyal wife or precious daughter of the great one. Hilary Clinton’s highest achievement | had she not been ambitious | would have been that of a first lady. And we all know that racism had a lot to do with this. Like smoking is the gateway to other drugs, racism is a gateway to all other forms of discrimination.
Though women strive for equality, the white man had placed himself above all others – Women, Blacks, Aboriginals, Immigrants, Arabs, etc. And even as Hilary is the first woman to reach this high in United States politics, as she strives to become the first female president of the land, many will be more concerned that the first woman to get there is a white woman. They will be about what role a female president’s husband will play. What should be more encouraging in this history-making time is if this generation can finally bridge the gap between race, gender, and sexuality and end all other forms of labeling and profiling of others, especially about weights and measures.
As we did not elect our first black president solely because of his race, we will elect Hilary Clinton not only because she’s a woman but also because she’s the most qualified presidential candidate. This is the generation that will do better in keeping our traditions while bringing an end to bullying, discrimination, and all other forms of bigotry. We are the generation that will proclaim that “human right is women’s rights, and women’s rights are human rights.” *
