When "Like a Girl" Becomes a Battle Cry
What if the greatest insult ever hurled at women-"you fight like a girl"-was actually the key to unlocking their most powerful strength? This phrase has echoed through playgrounds and boardrooms alike, carrying the sting of weakness and incompetence. Yet hidden within this taunt lies a revolutionary truth: women weren't designed to fight like men, and that's precisely where their power resides. As a cancer survivor who lost an eye at five and endured merciless mockery, I spent years resenting my femininity, viewing it as a liability rather than an asset. The irony? God positioned me to spend my life doing the very thing I feared most-speaking publicly-because He never sees us as handicapped. He gives us opportunities to face our fears so we can become fearless. What would happen if women stopped apologizing for their distinct design and instead weaponized it? What if the very qualities dismissed as "too emotional" or "too soft" were actually the strategic advantages the world desperately needs? "I hate being a girl!" The words exploded from my mouth shortly after my engagement, raw and unfiltered. My fiance stared at me, bewildered, as I voiced a sentiment I'd carried silently for years. Here's the uncomfortable truth: I'm not alone. Women across every demographic share a mutual disdain for womanhood itself, bonding over criticisms of other women as emotional, whiny, and untrustworthy. This isn't just low self-esteem-it's an epidemic of self-rejection that's been normalized to the point of invisibility. We've never been taught to appreciate who we are as women, only what we can achieve by becoming more like men. The culture whispers a persistent static: "Women are the problem." But what if women aren't problems at all-what if they're answers? At a conference in Australia, I watched teenage girls of all shapes and sizes dance with unselfconscious grace. Tears streamed down my face as the Spirit whispered, "That's what you looked like at her age, but you never saw it." With time and perspective, I've stopped comparing myself to other women. Every woman is somebody's answer, specifically formed for a task no other woman can accomplish. When you believe you're an answer rather than a problem, you approach life entirely differently.
