We want to be Heard

Am a woman, I want to be listened to, I want my voice heard, am not a moron, I am not dumb, is that all you think about these days? Then you are not the only one walking in those shoes. Its annoying when men speak especially in corporate organizations and your views are frowned upon.

Women are not all about fashion, food and kids, we are more than that. its annoying when men are treated as if they are better than us. Are we not all created in the image of God. God is not a respecter of anybody, so why the preferential treatment accorded to men.

  In Africa especially, when some Married Men are discussing issues about politics and their wives interrupt to make a point contrary to theirs, they feel so insulted, 'cos they don't expect their wives to have contrary views and if she does, she should keep it to herself.

My aim here is to write a post to show men we can think, we have our own views and we know what we want. So please, lets us speak like our counterparts in the western world.

The question is how to talk in a way that gets Men interested

Never raise your voice

Shouting at the top of your voice does not make anyone listen to you, learn to speak in a gentle manner

Never interrupt in a conversation you know nothing about

I know a few women who bump into conversation they know nothing about, be careful not to be tagged in this category of women

 

Be slow to speak 

When you know so much about a topic, don't speak in a hurry, make your comment and leave the guys to decide if you are indeed clever or not. You will be surprised that your opinion will be sought out next time. Good luck ladies
