The Vastness of the Title "Woman" : LOH 94#

in Ladies of Hive2 years ago (edited)

As a 17-year-old female and browsing the meaning of a woman on the internet: " a female 18 years of age or over.", doubts can be overwhelming. Since I am still 17, does that mean I am still not a woman?

I am still young and often gets confused with things I am still unaware of, unknowledgeable, and ignorant about. But, if I were to explain to my younger cousins and sibling, "what is a woman?", it would be in this wondrous way.

If we think out of the box , we could find the question "What is a Woman?" a volatile and complex one.

A woman in this 21st century is like a universe for being vast.

We can define woman in many ways, through biology, culture, scripture, religion, and ironically through the raised generational standards, gender roles, and social construct.

For me, a woman is something beyond extraordinary that could carry different roles.

As defined by Oxford Languages, a woman is an adult female human being. However, we are aware t
hat the definition of a woman is starting to go beyond limits in this 21st century. There are sciences evolving, and so are genders and sexual orientations becoming diverse.

As humans who are willing to grow, we wouldn't want to sound transphobic, thus, we study and accept.

With in the imagery of women on screen, and on social construct that are most exclusively home-based, even so there is no shame for being a woman that is in that way.

A woman could be a mother, but giving birth and having a child are not just the only specifications that one is identified as a woman. A woman is a sister, a light and could be a foundation of one's home. A woman is tender and soft, but tough as a diamond. A woman is an embodiment of grace, purity, kindness, and modest regardless of how the society sees.

A woman is every feminine trait that the world had set long ago, but a woman has the prowess to adapt and learn so they also tend to try, maneuver jobs and roles that the world set as manly. A woman can be an engineer, a CEO, a police, a soldier, an astronaut, and other things that were dominated by men before.

Women by heart, are women.

A woman is a combination of your attributes, what yourself is expressing to the world and the gender clues that you give.

A woman is a fighter.

A woman is strong and tough.

She is brave and courageous.

Full of wits and is bright.

A woman is a dreamer.

Most importantly, a woman is ** naturally pure and full of love**.


An entry for the 94th LOH Community Contest "What is a Woman?".

What is a woman?

There are changing concepts of sex and gender in this digital age, and some children growing up are asking difficult questions. As Mothers and Grandmothers, we want to ensure that our children have all the answers and resources they need to live their happiest and most productive lives. If faced with the issue of dissatisfaction over their sex/gender, how would you address your children's questions pertaining to the changing concepts of sex and gender in this digital age?

I would like to invite @rks.wuhdrelis to join this contest tho I am a bit afraid that we are short in time.

I am as well an otaku that loves to watch genres which were aforementioned. I am a music enthusiast and a grade 12 student with an undying passion on everything I do. I am still making up my mind what to course should I take in college in these top three choices: 1) BS in Psychology, 2) Veterinary Science, 3) BS in Nursing.

Hello, @rene.neverfound.

A woman is a combination of your attributes, what yourself is expressing to the world and the gender clues that you give."

This.^ Indeed. You said it very well. I love reading your thoughts and got amazed knowing it is from a perspective of a teenager. By the way, I just noticed that the sources in your photos is lacking. You may use this format [text](link) in giving credits to your sources. Aside from that, you make a good write-up. 😉

ohayo, ayane-chan! > I love reading your thoughts and got amazed knowing it is from a perspective of a teenager.

You're welcome. 🤗 I'm happy to help. All cheers for more awesome write-ups! 🥳🍻
