Why?

Why do we, women, deny ourselves? Why do we live our lives in a manner that pleases others but causes us to feel limited? Why do we allow others to mold us into what they think we should be? Is it because we have the fairy tale mentality and want to be loved and cared for and believe deep down inside that if we please others, we will ultimately be rewarded?

Why do we, women, hate on each other? Why do we get positions of power and let them go to our head, forget from whence we came, and have the audacity to treat others as less than because their paychecks, houses, cars, etc are not on our level?

Why do we, women, settle--for less? Why are we becoming make do individuals just to be able to say that we are with someone? Does our happiness count for anything? Can we not be successful and happily single? And for those that are married, do we have to snub those that are not or murder them with the "When you planning on settling down?"

Why do we women refuse to admit our feelings? Don't we know that holding on to hurt, anger, pain, disappointment, resentment, etc kills us daily?

Somebody, please tell me why?
