A Woman's Prerogative

Yesterday Katie and I were headed back from guitar lessons. I can't even remember what we were talking about, but I had changed my mind about something. I said "It is a woman's prerogative to change her mind".

It got me thinking that we rarely use that saying. We also rarely hear the phrase, "A woman's intuition." I wonder why?

Have these fallen by the wayside due to the feminist movement? Is it bad to denote a woman as different?

I know that the first one has been associated with women being flighty, but don't we sometimes change our minds after careful thought?

And the second, what is wrong with using this? It has been my experience that I see things through a different lens than my husband. Often times I "get a feeling" about a person or a situation that turns out to be true. Things that would not be obvious from the surface or initial facts.

I think the feminist movement has devalued the inherent uniqueness of women. I think we have been made to feel less or uneducated if we willingly embrace that we are different. We need to embrace the gifts God gave us just by being women!

I think I will listen to my intuition more and see where it leads me!
