The power of women - bamisepeters
Women are obviously important and should be treated as such. For every man, the respect for women is the
beginning of success.
"Women are by far the deeper and more powerful of the two sexes. No matter how strong a man thinks he is, he is like butter in the hands of a woman that he loves. It is only a woman that can carry a child for nine months and raise that child to adulthood and yet until the day that woman dies, only she will know the real father of that child.
Women are more discerning than men, more calculating, more thoughtful, more spiritual, more loyal, and more disciplined and they can handle emotional pain and
psychological torture far better than men.
A woman can suffer trauma, deprivation, shame, sheer cruelty and beatings from a man and still stay with him simply for the sake of the children. A woman can do anything and take anything for a man that she truly loves."(1)
