All Woman

  What exactly does it mean to be a woman? Whatever it means I'm sure that I'm not there, but I can't help but wonder what or if there is a universal definition of 'woman'. Of course I don't mean bilologically or antomacally; I mean culturally. In Asia, women are culturally depicted as petite, slender, and of a general Asian look. In Africa, depending the the locale, the ideal woman is depicted as darker toned, tall, and slender. In America, the stereotype of the ideal woman is blonde hair, blue eyes, fair toned. How can that be true when America is a mix of every culture? The answer is it's not. That may be some people's opinions, but how do you explain a Black woman's curves or an Asian women's eye's? No one culture is more womanly than another. Lacking or having a certain characteristic does not take away from your womanly persona. If anything, once you embrace and accept that this feature represents not only you, but your background you should be all the more proud and therefore womanly.
