rampant猖獗的

❤️“Women hold up half the sky.”

The sentence is being passed down not because Mao Tse-Tung said it, but because it is what is happening today. From war-torn south America, where women demonstrate for peace to protect their children, to poor rural India, where girls spend all day walking miles collecting water for family, instead of going to school. Men and women each take responsibility in different ways for their own part in order to hold up the sky together. Men and women are surely different. Just because men and women are different, they are able to compensate for the disadvantages of each other to form a perfect whole. They both should value this truth.

Today, even if domestic violence is still rampant in some places in the world, ❤️men know very well that they can never hold up the sky without women.
