Women--They, who wear skirts, stay at home to attend to the family's needs and work on household--that's all in the past. If men were define according to how they were in the past--wears pants, has places in high court, dominates over everything especially female species, the hero and everything that would say "macho" on them--well it’s time to think it over.

Imagine there was a time warp somewhere during the time of King Arthur, what would his men think if they entered this warp and find themselves in this present day and age?

For a girl it may be great to imagine a shock looking knight learning about the existence of Lara Croft who seems manlier than her men. Then there are also leaders who are women in countries like the Philippines. This is not a mere spectacle of how women are beginning to know the meaning of "domination"; this is merely stating the difference of women then and now.

There was this film based on the life of courtesan Veronica Franco entitled Dangerous Beauty. She lived in the time when men hold the power and women are but mere possessions. It was a time when even marriage was based on social standings and not because of love. A woman was not free to be educated nor is she free to be with the man she wishes to marry.

Women back then were once placed only for homes and chores. There are those who simply can't even speak up their minds and are limited only to reading and writing--no more than that. There were more taught on cooking, washing the clothes, attending to the needs of the babes and knitting.

During the scene when Veronica Franco was to confess of her sins, she thus said something that really gave an impact of why she chose to be a courtesan rather than marry someone from her stature: "I confess I have embraced a whore's freedom over a wife's obedience."

Freedom--women back then had no freedom in totality. They were bounded especially their decisions. The only ones who were considered lucky are those who were born of aristocracy having said to have everything plus the fact that the courtesans for their educations (although I am honestly not so sure whether to consider them indeed lucky). Life then was limited for women unlike now.

We have seen it as the public records their achievements and ‘till now it keeps on making us see even more--"Women in power". They have grace and they have the determination to make it big in their chosen field. There are not for stay-at-homes anymore as they become more of the adventurous types who are ready to take on the world.

One such femme persona to take note on is Filipina Formula 3 racecar driver Gaby De La Merced. Car racing as we all know is just for men. These are also considered as extreme sports yet this gal take things into her own accord. She also plays soccer if you must know. The sporty look was always for the boys only yet this is one girl who seems not to take things differently.

They are now born to be anything they want to be. Women nowadays are not kept inside shelters and under the supervision of men. Daughters are not bound anymore by what their family decides for them. Public records show women to be more daring and are game to try anything they set their eyes on.
