American Woman
~Nancy B. Brewer
The same rain that falls on my part of the world falls on other lands. The same sunshine that shines through my window lights the home of others across the globe.
I am an American Woman. I am free to worship as I choose, go to school, chose my profession, own property, and businesses. I make the decision who I marry, and if and when, I decide to have children.
In this year of 2017 there are laws that say I must receive equal pay for equal work. I am free to dress as I please, bear arms, speak my mind, vote, hold political office and serve in the military.
I may drive a car, a truck, motorcycle, boat or even a plane. I can live alone, or travel anywhere I desire without an escort.
That sounds like freedom to me.
Yes, there have been times when I have been treated unfairly because I am a woman. However, there have been many more times that I have been given special considerations because I am a woman.
Sadly there are women and children in America who are hungry and lost. There are those that are treated unfairly, sexually assaulted, beaten and abused.
Do the people of America care? —Yes. Is it against the law in America? —Yes.
On this same planet, where the sun shines and the rain flows there are women not so fortune as their American sisters. They and their children are less than second-class citizens. In those lands the same sun sets, but the sleepers have no dreams.
A young girl does not choose a husband or the number of children she wishes to bear. She is considered property and those things are chosen for her.
Not only is it forbidden for her to expose her body, she must bury her soul and keep her thoughts and ideas to herself.
Women and girls are beaten, stoned, and even beheaded for acts as simple as going shopping alone. They are sold into slavery, as child brides, and many must submit to painful genital mutilations.
Does anyone care?—No. It is the law of their land!
Now I say to the thousands of women in America who are marching across our great nation in protest of our goverment. Which country do you wish to live in?
If you must march, throw down your selfish batons and parade for our sisters that live in endless suffering and bondage, not only here in our country, but across the horizons.
Strive to make this world a better place for all. Pave the roads for future generations to enjoy the humble hand of kindness.
I pray that our generation not be remembered as the destroyers of unity and patriotism.
Look at the examples our children view: Hollywood royalty and music superstars shouting vulgarity and profanity with threats against our president and our country. Are they above the law? Shall we call them Americans?
Is it too much to ask that our public streets be filled with a spirit of peace and not protest?
I know that I am not alone when I say: I will not hand over my right to decency to the likes of some Madonna or Ashley Judd
Ladies be prepared to fight—The American Woman is watching
Thank you
Thank you.
Thank you pray for America
Time can change a lot of things, keep praying.
Respect can be taught and hopeful this country will try around soon.
I am beginning to think so.
Kindness can cross great rivers
We shall try.
Very well said. I wish someone could get through to women who are so blessed with the life the vast majority of American women enjoy. There are so many people ready to give up every thing they know and care about to experience the life we are offered in this great United States of America.
Everything you said is true,and needs to be spoken to women and men around the world .These disrespectful people claiming to be women are so disgusting and truly ignorant. They are not trying to help anyone, not even themselves. We have no need for people like this in this country or any other country. I’m praying for our world to stop all of this stupidity and greed .They claim they have rights, but when they tramp on my rights,I’m not going to back down . Don’t these people realize other people have to explain their nonsense to their children, and these idiots are having their children march in their protesting of abortion. Wow what super smart people they are .I’m against using your children in this manner.
Thank you Nancy for your comments. Sometimes the spoken word has more impact than reading them silently!
Thank you so much for your message! I’m so ashamed of our President and family are being treated. Also these women marching make it look like all women of the great USA behave and talk this way. I do not appreciate them representing women this way. Wonder what other countries must think. I’m so ashamed!
I cannot agree with this more. Yes, there are problems but none of them were addressed by the marches this weekend that so disrespected their own communities by leaving their squalor all along their path. And pathetic as it is, they will all boast with pride about what they did to straighten out the poor stupid masses.
Brilliantly said Mrs. Brewer~
Well said my friend!
100%. Would not show up in red.
Well said, Nancy.
I agree with you %.
Awesome Nancy.. I join you and agree 100% with your message. How dare some of these so called ladies to act like they are and project to the world that this is how American Women Act. They do not speak for me or represent me. Yes, I am ready to fight right beside you !!
Well stated. Thank you for taking the time to put those words in place as those are words of many American women.
Very Well Said with respect and honesty !!! American Woman be seen and you will be heard !!!
Beautifully stated!!!!
Thank you … I feel the same … Your words are just right … Love your reading .
Well said my friend!!!!! I am a woman!!!!
Yes as they shouted we are here lest they forget there is a multitude of American women ready to stand up for those rights we already have but also for those children waiting to be born .
Beautifully said. Thank you so much Nancy for this message. May we pray that such common sense thinking once again takes precedence in this land we have been so blessed to live in, and thank God for His many blessings to us. As He has stated in his Word, “To whom much is given, much is required”. May all our American sisters (and brothers} come to the understanding of these words, and may we constantly recognize these truths and thank God for them daily. And may we never lose our blessings due to our neglect. Once again, thank you for your thoughtful words. God bless you!
loved your message , it is so spot on , thank you for your message , this is how an American women should be heard
