A thought...or two

​You know, there are a million and one things that I could write about, to tell you the difficulties female entrepreneurs experience, over the lifetime of being in business.
Yet, the truth is - female entrepreneurs have always had a solid, uphill road to hoe, ever since the year dot - since the very inception of this planet; when we decided we wanted to be heard not for just being a mum, a carer, a teacher, a nurse ...nor for being the opposite sex - but for just being human - for being seen as a unique individual that has something to say, change or to inspire others to be whole - greater than - and definitely worthy of receiving in this world, and the next. 

Being the gentler of creatures (I know, this is a sweeping statement, but by and large - true), I believe there is always and has always been, a need to compromise and yes, even forgo one's dreams, to a certain extent.  Why would I say such a thing?  Because we females are the bearers by sex and the nurturers by blood; we know how to get families organised - get things done - get things ordered, cared for and on track in a family - we are the micro-managers of life.  This is not a bad thing - it is a natural thing and our control over this is probably non-existent!  

Because the human race depends on at least one member of a united couple, to take care of the nest...and in doing so, there was and still is - an expectation that because a woman bears the child - naturally a woman would want to rear and be present in a child's formative years of life - at least.  We might not want to admit it, but a male's instinct is to protect the nest, and is proud, confident and extremely capable of doing so - and yes, vocal about how this is important to them.  
​
Yet...why do our dreams arise, if we are not expected to act on them ...to only haunt us - to tell us that the male counterpart is more worthy of creation and dreams to come to fruition, than a female?  In today's day and age, I would like to think not.  But I would be lying, if I did not tell you that to some degree, I believe this, to be the case.
