Caution: Woman Frustrated

Finally! I am a university graduate! That's probably a good reason why I've been neglecting my blog, saying that I was working my ass off and studying insane hours per day, but no that's not even close, I've been enjoying my last days as a student at university. A place where woman are most often seen to be "smarter" (to be politically correct) than their male counterparts. There have been studies that prove that, it depends on which study you look at, but the point is, woman are seen as more successful because they have good time management skills, can multi-task, and just because they were born with functioning brains; no I'm not trying to go all feminist here. 

How many times have you heard a professor say that the women in the class do better than the men? I've heard that a whole lot! However, you do have women from different nationalities, backgrounds, and most importantly personalities. Not all of them have the "brains", but if they apply themselves they can manage to accomplish whatever they want to. Anyone can. 

Now here comes the situation, my friend is a very smart and beautiful woman, having graduated early from university she went to work in a private company. Some people may look at her once and describe her as a T.K (Typical Kuwaiti), which basically means that she doesn't have to worry about working for a living and lives a comfortable life with no responsibilities. After working there for a few months, she decided to leave to take up graduate studies. When she told everyone at work that she was leaving, they all (managers, colleagues, Kuwaiti & expatriates, both female and male) confessed that they thought that she would be one of those Kuwaiti girls that always come late, never being a benefit to the company and never in the mood to do anything. 

In my opinion, that is kind of harsh! How come in university we were always the ones that had the most promise, never were discriminated or judged, and were a role model to our peers, and that all means nothing the moment we graduate? 

By we, I mean the women I know who have a good head above their shoulders, hard-working, ambitious and self-driven! Will we always be seen in a negative light, since obviously we are the minority. Yes, yes I count myself as part of the "we" and we have to break this stereo type if we want to be taken seriously!
