There are two negative perceptions of strong women.

That in itself is so wrong.Everywoman is strong.

strong women, strong men, not intimidated by her strength

Every person is strong.

But this is wrong as well.

Strong women are not too self-reliant to need anyone by their side.

They are not so independent that they dont desire love or a partner to share their lives with.

Strong women do not take roles away from the men in their lives.

They do not overshadow or hinder a mans ability to grow, to be strong, or to love.

Strong women are not too big, too outspoken, too capable to be cared for.

They do not emasculate men.

A strong man, just like a strong woman, is aware of who he is.

He is aware of his masculinity, his strength, his thoughts, his ideas, his weaknesses.

He will not feel invalidated by a strong womans desire to keep her independence or her voice.

A strong woman might be a leader.

She might be a boss.

Maybe instead of seeing strong women as intimidating, we should see them as equals.

As people who are looking for, and who deserve, just as strong counterparts by their side.

There is no competition hereonly strengthtogether.

He will not need toprove himselfby showing he is better, more worthy, stronger, or more dominant.

He will build up his counterpart rather than break her down.

When we acknowledge that we are different, yet equals.When we fight together, andforone another.
