Virginia Slims superficial nod to women’s liberation in the late 1960s may have been well-intentioned, but it was also naïve and dead wrong. This statement, as a sentiment, is as infuriating as it is trite.
The idea that women have been on some journey to prove their own competency is maddening! As if we have been stumbling around for centuries hoping to bump into our own intelligence and finally prove our worth.
There is no journey through the centuries. We have been aware of our own worth for some time. We have been right in front of you all along, so obvious, like the glasses you’re looking for that are perched on the edge of your nose. We have been here waiting; standing here with grit and compassion, wisdom and ingenuity. We have led, we have followed, we have fought, and we have bled.
We have been aware of our own worth for some time.
The journey is not ours, it’s yours. You, our male colleagues, our bosses, our husbands, and brothers and fathers. You are the ones on the journey to discover what we women have known all along. And while you’ve come a long way, you still have a long way to go.
