Dear ladies,
If I hear the phrase “ring by spring,” one more time,
someone is going to get hurt. Don’t you remember back when women didn’t have
the opportunity to go to college, or at least, not the same colleges as the men
attended?
No? Well, it happened.
In the past, a lot of women were denied higher education
simply because of their gender, because they were expected to marry, stay at
home, and raise children. There is nothing wrong with this at all, in fact, I
think being a stay-at-home mom is awesome. But…what about education? What about
bettering yourself and your mind?
Well, these women, our not-so-far-back ancestors, fought and
pushed so that we can now go to college and have a real career. It’s not about “keeping
up with the men.” What it is about is using the brains that God gave us and
having a chance to think for ourselves.
So, if you’re only going to college to get your MRS. then I’m
really sorry for you. Not only are you scoffing in the faces of the women who
fought hard to have a chance at a higher education, but you are also missing
out on a really amazing opportunity.
So go, finish your education. If you happen to meet Mr.
Right in the process, that is fantastic. But please, don’t let that be your
reason for attending college.
Sincerely,
A College Graduate
You are so right.
