Women are not made to be caregivers & Men are not made to be leaders of countries

The story of Danielle Crockett which I watched on the Oprah Winfrey Show several years back is tragic. She was neglected by her birth mother and she was left in an appalling condition. The room Danielle lived in was filthy to say the least and the extent of her abuse and neglect is shocking:

1. She was emaciated - she was never given solid food

2. Fleas and mites infested her hair and body, biting her, sucking blood, leaving open sores

3. She was kept in a dark room littered with trash, urine and feces and thousands of cockroaches overran the room

4. She was found curled up on a mouldy mattress wearing a swollen diaper and had feces dripping down her legs

5. She was 6 and she couldn't walk or talk and wasn't potty trained - she was very thin and weighed only 46 pounds

6. This is a case of extreme neglect and Danielle was categorised as a feral child which means she had very little human interaction to develop properly. Although she was 6 years old, her mental and physical development remained an infant's

And, all that was caused by Danielle's birth mother, Michelle Crockett. Now, I want you to tell me that mothers are the epitome of sacrifice, love and care. IF YOU DARE.

And, because of such a negative imprint on women, ingrained by her biological mother's neglect of her, Danielle doesn't like women much, including her adopted mother. She prefers men to take care of her, carry her (remember, she has the mental capacity of an infant) and interact with her. Of course she tolerates women at their kindness - her speech therapist is a woman.

As evidenced by this, children don't identify female as caregiving by nature. They identify whomever takes care of them and loves them as the caregiver. I read about a Husky which was raised by cats and the dog behaves like a cat.

Another story to go by..

After the iconic Icelandic women protests in 1975 for equal pay, 90% of the women walking out of their homes and workplace, leaving the men to grapple with the sudden abandon and crippling the nation, Iceland elected her first female president, Vigdis Finnbogadottir in 1980. She is also the first female democratically elected head of state. Iceland is the most gender-equal country in the world. And, definitely feminist.

In 1981, an Icelandic boy watched Ronald Reagan swore in as the US' 40th president and incredulously said that being president isn't a man's job, it's a woman's job. Vigdis Finnbogadottir was doing such a stellar job as president, the boy thought being the leader of a country is natural for women.

So, as you can see, it's what we teach our children that make them. There is neither such thing as a man's job and a woman's job nor the wrongs men do and the wrongs women do. There are only things to be done and wrongs.
