Men are stronger than women? by Rachael Uwah

Here is a thinking mind of a sister, asking questions, pondering...

Men are stronger than women? Oh Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Can you bleed for a week and survive?
Can you squeeze a 14 inch baby from a 9 cm hole?
Can you carry a 7 pound baby in your stomach for 9months & @ the same time carry other heavy things like 20litres of water on ur head etc?
Can you take care of a child, cook,clean, and talk on the phone @ once?
Can you carry a 108 pound shopping bag?
Can you go a week only eating salad?
Can you face heartbreak?
Can you watch the love of your life be with someone else?
Can you accept lies then smile like you have heard the best truth in your lifetime?
Can you hurt your fingers while cooking and all you get is horrible comments like Its salty, Tasteless...?
Can you burn your forehead with a straightener & not complain cus u just want 2 look beautiful for someone?
Can you walk all day on 6 inch stilettos?
Can you cry all night then get up the next morning like everything is OK?
OF COURSE NOT!
WOMEN ROCK!!!

Note: this is not my work but Rachael Uwah's who has agreed that I share this.
