10 Surprising Reasons Why Having A Vagina Doesn't Make Me Right All The Time

When we think about gender, society often assigns traits and expectations based on anatomy. Many believe that if someone has a vagina, they should hold certain qualities or beliefs or be correct more often than not. This simple idea misses the point. Here are ten surprising reasons why having a vagina doesn’t mean someone is right all the time, showing why we must appreciate the complexity of individual perspectives. I might say things that are personal opinion and I want smart people to challenge me... Heavy emphasis on smart... But let me explain.

1. Individual Experience Differs

Each person has unique experiences that shape their views, regardless of their anatomy. For example, two women might have completely different opinions on a topic like parenting, teenage years, the work place based on their own life experiences. One may have grown up in a large family while the other did not, leading to different views. This diversity makes every person’s viewpoint valuable and highlights that shared anatomy does not equate to shared beliefs.

2. Knowledge is Not Gendered

Intelligence and knowledge don’t depend on gender. Consider this: studies show that women-led companies perform 63% better than those led by men, indicating that effective leadership is not limited by gender. There are men and women who are not so bright. Many insightful voices arise from individuals facing challenges that defy traditional norms. Understanding comes from various experiences, regardless of gender. Do you travel? Have you only lived in the suburbs? Have you ever experienced tragedy? Live more life and talk less about what you do not know.

3. Emotional Perspectives Vary

Emotions can influence anyone's judgment, whether they identify as male, female, or non-binary. For instance, women may respond differently in stressful situations, but that does not mean their emotional responses are more valid.  Most women are not logical about love, spending money and entitlement. I am, as a woman I do not feel like just because a man likes me, he should pay and do everything for me. Finding a person to love is cool but that can’t be my life purpose. I enjoy spending money and having nice things but I also know priorities come before my fun. I don’t have to be a man to know that. Both men and women can benefit from being aware of their feelings and how these feelings shape their discussions and decisions.

4. Critical Thinking is Key

Critical thinking plays a crucial role in making sound decisions.  Most people laugh at girl math, um thats just an excuse to be stupid and blame it on being a woman who is allowed to be aloof. That does not justify not thinking your decisions through. Just because someone has a vagina does not mean they possess a greater ability to judge situations effectively. For example, a woman might have strong opinions on social issues, but a man with similar expertise may bring a different, equally valuable perspective. Everyone should work on improving their critical thinking skills rather than relying on gender stereotypes.

5. Cultural Influences Matter

Cultural backgrounds significantly shape personal beliefs and decision-making. For instance, two women raised in different cultures—one in the U.S. and the other in Japan—might approach work-life balance in vastly distinct ways due to their upbringing.  I was raised in a Caribbean culture where the men over talked and the women just complained about what they didn’t like after they left the room. Over, and over again then everyone else got the wrath of their anger. I choose to just be in my home solo, I might text or call who I have an issue with but at least I have distance away. Recognizing these differences allows for more meaningful conversations and helps broaden our perspectives. Its about respect too, just because your upbringing was different as adults you can choose to be better.

6. The Impact of Bias

Everyone has biases that can cloud their judgment. These biases can manifest in various ways, impacting how people perceive and interact with each other. Do not make assumptions based on the little that you know or were exposed to. Stay open and optimistic about life. By understanding and addressing our own biases, we can promote fairer and more constructive discussions.

7. Collaboration Over Competition

The notion that women must be right can create a competitive atmosphere, which is often counterproductive.  We see it all the time men against women in comments and women against men. I am so tired of it. In podcasting Im not here to compete only, I want to create and I want to hear what other people create too. There isn’t a reason for me to hate what other  people love that doesn’t affect me. Instead of competing, working together and sharing ideas can lead to better solutions. For example, diverse teams that collaborate typically outperform homogenous ones by up to 35%. Embracing different viewpoints leads to richer outcomes that benefit all involved.

8. The Role of Context

Understanding context is essential when evaluating perspectives. The rightness of an opinion often hinges on specific situations rather than anatomy. For instance, a woman may be considered "right" in a debate on women's rights, but outside that context, a different perspective may prove more relevant. Women’s rights doesn’t mean men are automatically wrong… Its a moment to be open and hear each other fairly. Considering the specific circumstances can lead to deeper understanding and discussions.

9. Empowering Others’ Voices

It's vital to empower a range of voices to create inclusive conversations.  Don’t be a Hog, hear other people out too. For instance, in community planning, including viewpoints from various demographics ensures better representation and outcomes for all. No single person, regardless of anatomy, should dominate discussions. Women who know how to share the room are loved. Encouraging diverse opinions fosters equitable environments.

10. It's Time to Move Beyond Labels

While it's essential to acknowledge experiences based on gender, labels can limit our understanding and appreciation of each other. Focusing on individual strengths rather than broad categories fosters more profound connections. Just because we are women doesn’t mean we know everything and must be agreed with. Women do a lot of what men cannot do; but men also have attributes they offer better than us. For instance, a skilled communicator should be recognized for their abilities, not defined solely by their gender. Duhhhh !!!

Embracing Complexity

Having a vagina does not guarantee correct opinions or insights. This assumption oversimplifies the intricate nature of human experience. Celebrating diversity encourages richer conversations and robust solutions to a wide range of issues.

As we advance in our understanding of gender and identity, we must remember that every person’s experiences shape their views. In order to see things differently we have to allow differences.

By valuing these differences, we create a culture that thrives on collaboration, respect, and understanding. Let’s appreciate our individuality and work toward a future where everyone, no matter their anatomy, can contribute to meaningful discussions.

By embracing complexity and fostering open-mindedness, we honor each other and the rich tapestry of perspectives that enhance our world. So ladies don’t be ignorant; just be kind and open… We do not have to argue or yell our points to be heard… We don’t even need to cut down men to make them feel lesser than. Just be your best self and offer your opinion where it is appreciated.
