HOPE .. in its most shattered form .. but it's still there

There are some 'issues' around me I feel extremely helpless thinking of some possible , logical , happy , optimistic solution or temporary remedy for . I see women around me .. in all forms .. from extremely successful to extremely beautiful .. all of them struggling on some arena of the simplest day to day life . I want to make a difference in their life . 
They are subjected to physical abuse , mental torture , just plain degradation . Because of what ?? It's because the responsibility of nurturing and giving birth to a whole new generation is in their hands ?? Or is it because they so lovingly feed their husbands with scrumptious dinners ? Is the reason that they struggle so much because of their own mistakes ?? 
I know women who have worked hard all their lives to keep their children alive , to give them some decent education . And yet their husbands hit them and beat them to pulp . 
I've seen a wife who has loved her husband like mad.. given up every single thing for him , taken care of him and placed the world at his feet . And yet after 30 yrs of her life .. she is shattered because the husband hates her .. for no reason at all . Is that really fair ?? 
Giving examples of women that have spend decades trying to keep their families and marriages alive could be blamed upon social taboos back in those ancient times . But what about the girls who have just been married . It's a modern  age .. girls all around us are extremely independent , confident . And yet after they gain some weight due to childbirth their husband tells , actually , 'orders' them to get back to 50kg in a month !!!! I mean SERIOUSLY !! YOU JUST SHATTER SOMEONES CONFIDENCE IN YOU AND IN LOVE BY TELLING THEM ITS ACTUALLY PHYSICAL APPEARANCE THAT MATTERS !!!
I wish I could lessen their pain .. make them feel better ... tell them that they are the most beautiful beings to be loved and cherished . I want to tell them that they are the most graceful forms of the strength that God wants in His people . I cant do that . I'm no missionary type Of a person .. I don't have contacts with media personals .. so all I can do Is a catharsis .. A transfer of my thoughts from me to my keyboard .. and light a candle of hope within me , that my feelings can actually reach someone who need to know that although you don't know me I still want to reach out to you and hold your hand and give you the strength to move on and be stronger .. for your kids , for yourself .. OR just for me . Cause your strength gives me the biggest bucket full of strength that I need . 
Cheerio :)

This is such a vital issue in our society. I think our society is in need of a 'cultire' revolution, more than anything. I just don't understand how men can be so selfish and mean!! Well, some of them, not all...
It's so great you want to give women everywhere strength and support! Blogging about it is definitely a step towards that:)
