This blog is dedicated to "strong women" even though it is titled "Trifling Women." There aren't enough strong women in today's American society. First, for those that aren't too savvy on things, I will give the definition of "trifling." Main Entry: trifling Function: adjective: lacking in significance or solid worth: as a : FRIVOLOUS <trifling talk> b : TRIVIAL <a trifling gift> c chiefly dialect : LAZY, SHIFTLESS <a trifling fellow> Keep the definition in mind as you read throughout this passage. There are still way too many women who are dependant on a man, welfare, or some kind of system, regardless of what it is. "Baby Mommas" (My definition is un-married women having babies by a man who don't want to marry/be with her). Get up off your butt and do what you have to do for your child or children, instead of depending on a man to supply you with money, benefits or whatever else it is that you are looking to get out of having a kid by the man. If you can't take care of a child by yourself, then you shouldn't have the child, whether or not you are married or with somebody when you have the baby. Bringing a child into this world is a huge responsibility. I am not saying that I am for abortion, because I'm not about that. But there are so many people out there that can't have children, that would love nothing more than to adopt a baby. Just because a woman does not give birth to a baby doesn't mean that she's not a "Mother." Just because a man didn't provide the sperm doesn't mean that he's not a "Father." A real woman knows how to take care of and provide for a child, and it's not about money. For Heaven's sake, stop having babies so you can get a check! Women who do not have good character regarding their relations with men and especially regarding their children are TRIFLING! "Co-dependant Women" (Women who stay with a man when they know he is messing around or doing wrong). At some point, there are many women in this situation. You have an abusive man, a man that cheats on you, or a man that just plain disrespects you. LEAVE!!! You are strong enough to do it on your own. Your life under a man that is not respectful of you, is not a life at all. It is a disgrace to all the strong women out there who are truly doing their thing. To the women who take care of their children. The women who have lost their husbands/father of their children, but continue to stand strong and take care of their family because it it the right thing to do. To all the women who are still single, who can't find a GOOD man, and who are successful: Don't stress, you will get what is due to you; don't settle for anything less that respect from a man, and definitely from the father of your children.
To all, please feel free to leave comments on my thoughts, even if they don't agree with mine. I am interested in what others think regarding this subject.
Amen, sissy! I don't really have much to add to what you said because you basically said it all.
For me, there is no greater feeling than standing on my own (this is part literal and part metaphorical). I do not need anyone's approval or validation of my life or my choices to feel good about myself. My accomplishments and the obstacles I had to overcome to reach them speak for themselves.
Funny, I'm always oblivious to just how much I have accomplished, so I usually assume if I can do something, anyone can do it. This is partly true. It's all about mind over matter. You can do anything you set your mind to... and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Good men are hard to find.... and I'm not looking for one... If one finds me... then lucky him... but I don't need to have a man in my life to feel good about myself and my life...
