Knowing that English is not your first language makes this poem even more impressive than it was already!

I didn't think of it as a poem actually... I don't think it has enough structure. I just wanted to make this statement

A woman such as this would be a great woman indeedΒ

I can assure you there are more women like this than you think. They are just not found as easily as the man-pleasing bimbo

Oh trust me, I know they are out there. I actually happen to know 1 or 2. (They are also my favorite "type" of woman)

It's not a lack of real woman, rather more knowing where to look and who to talk to. Both of these women have helped shape who I am today, and for that, I am greatful.

A woman who has understanding and feeling for those around her,
without being week or dependable.
m-may I ask what you mean? Q////Q
π: 0 β©: 1
I actually meant 'dependent', as in relying on someone, but due to my lack of English knowledge I used the wrong form! Sorry for the confusion, I corrected it by now ^^

Its alright I-I was confused thanks to being half awake ^//^;
I woke up at 6:50 am
but its lovely~ although... do you mean being dependent on someone all the time or sometimes? Q///Q
π: 0 β©: 1
I think being dependent isn't a good thing and makes you become weak, no matter if you're always doing it or just sometimes ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
Q///Q what about being dependent when you've held yourself up so long?..
being dependent doesn't make you week unless y-you never stand on your own feet sometimes~
that's how I-I see it anyway Q///Q because people burn out unless they have someone to lean on Q///Q
but thats my belief ^//^; best wishes to you and Lovely work all the same~

What you describe sounds more like 'being there for each other' which isn't really dependent, but natural in a society

So if she is not dependable, does that mean she is also not reliable?Β
I think the word dependant is more fitting for the meaning.

Oh! I'm not a native English speaker, I only knew 'to depend' means to rely on someone, but I meant what you said. I'll correct that, thank you

No problem!Β Happy to help! ^^

These are good qualities for any person.

True, although I don't know a lot of men who could be described as 'weak' or 'dependable', so I don't find empowering strength very necessary in their case.

I don't know a lot of mean who would ~want~ to be described as "weak" or "dependent", but most of the men I know could be described that way objectively. In contrast, I find the women that I know largely already live up to these standards for the most part.
It's all about your perspective.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, and perspective is usually shaped by experience, which is, admittedly, quite subjective.
But it's nice to hear that, at least some, men know these kind of women exist ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
It's my experience (both personally and in historical research) that women have always been stronger that men give them credit for. Because men have ruled most of cultures of the world for a large portion of history, the perception that they are somehow "the weaker sex" became ingrained in the social consciousness.
Expressing your emotions doesn't make you weak; loving your partner and wanting to be loved in return doesn't make you dependent; being passionate doesn't make you crazy.
In the end, I feel that people should be judged by their demonstrable actions and attitudes, not stereotyped by their gender...or any number of other factors.
...sorry to go all ranty on you. This must have been burbling beneath the surface of my psyche for a while.

I don't know a lot of women who could be described as weak either. Plus a lot of men are dependable.
dependable:Β trustworthy and reliable.
So I believe these are good qualities for anyone to live by and not really 'real' per say.
π: 0 β©: 1
That's how people have different views, they've made different experiences. I, for example, know quite a number of weak women.Β
The reason I called it 'real' is because there are many women who are actually not like that. Sure, these qualities aren't limited to a gender, but in our society is a growing number of (young) women who define themselves by what men think about them, they behave in a way to appeal to men, and the result of this is a mindless bimbo (again, my view is based on what I experience in my environment. You said you don't know many weak women, so you will most likely disagree).
Most people who comment here seem to think just because I'm attributing good qualities to women, the text is somehow 'anti-men', when it has actually nothing to do with them (primarily). It's just a reminder to women what is, by my definiton, real and what is fake (the man-pleasing bimbo).

Again, I agree with you. I see that type of women you described pretty much everywhere, and that does bother me. I for a long time cared about how I looked as you said, primarily becaused I was bullied and told I was ugly and all that typical horsecrap. Also, because any attention I gotΒ from a male wasΒ as you'd expect from whatΒ I already said. So, of course, I tried to fit in andΒ obsessed about my appearance and how guys looked at me. I believed it from the time I was in 2nd grade, all the way to 7th, and I only just stopped believeing that once I got out of public school and began homeschooling.
Ever since then, my perspective and attitude changed immensely. Now, I no longer concern myself about any of that, or put up withΒ it for that matter. I personally believe I /am/ pretty, that I don't need a man to "complete me"; /I/ complete myself as a woman. Any of my friends who're still in that dark place (or any kind of dark place), I am there for them and give the best advice I can provide to them to hopefully help them out of it.

That sounds like you went through a lot of development as a person, congratulations
