Women’s Struggle With Old Cultural Beliefs
Let your thoughts free you
Throughout the ages men dominated women for self serving purposes. They ingrained this domination within their culture, and then threw in a lot of religious dogma in the mixture to justify their habitual way of living, and thinking.
Many advanced cultures have changed since then, except for those who are still hanging on to old beliefs making girls, and women’s lives miserable. But what they don’t understand is that they are also hurting themselves in the process. As long as they are refusing to change the negative aspect of their beliefs, they will never move to a happier state of consciousness, and the world will always look upon them as primitive.
Many modern countries are multicultural societies; people immigrate from suppressed cultures to a more modern environment to find stability where men and women are treated equally. But once there, they find it hard to change their old habits and continue with their cultural belief of women domination.

Fear is being used to control these women; fear of being killed, fear of god, fear of losing stature in their own cultural community, fear of losing their family, fear of family Honor being disgraced, fear...fear...fear.... and so the women except the fact of these living conditions, then turn around and let it happen to their own daughters. So you see the vicious circle starts again.
One major hurdle a woman must overcome in any culture is the capability of getting a good education. But the odds are usually stacked against women in suppressed religious cultured society. In most cases families in these countries see no value in educating their girls since one day they will get married and become the husband's possession. Their boys on the other hand, hold the family's name and their future's financial assistance when they grow old and need care. Either way girls get to see the favouritism towards the male gender, and become accustomed to believe that it is the proper way of raising a family. |

Modern cultures have come a long way, but there are still many areas in society like politics and leaderships that reflect imbalances favouring masculine aggression. Even when women are part of these areas, their role is insignificant because all the decisions are influenced by the majority of males rendering the female energy ineffective to balance the male energy.
There is absolutely no reason in the world why a woman or a man should not be able to achieve anything they desire. Only you are in control of yourself. If anyone of you should desire freedom of living well, freedom of speech, freedom of thought, or freedom of spiritual beliefs, then you must find a way to get out of your limiting situation, and find a place that will support your happiness.
The first step to freedom is to free your mind from limiting beliefs. Since birth everyone has been subjected to the dos and don'ts of other’s ideology. Unlearn what you have learned, and customize your own spiritual beliefs. Release any guilt that has been imposed by others on you, and reconnect with your true self in order to live a happier life.
