What about a woman's love?

Well, most of the books, poems, movies, songs, every possible expression of an art form boasts on how much a man in love is willing to do for a woman that he is in love with. They fight wars, kill eachother, move mountains, write poems, speak at lengths about the heart pain, how being in love drives them crazy. When ever this happens, both men and women irrespective of who sees it, gets moved, feels it, connects to it, celebrate it and men are so proud of themselves that even if it's a fictional work, they think they are the one who could love and be proud about it.

I agree. I am too someone who admires, accepts and applauds all of the above. But, what about us women? Don't we fall in love? Don't we get to feel everything a man would? How many out there got the opportunity to declare their broken love to the world for the man they were in love with without the fear of being judged by the entire world and how scared she would feel, that it would be considered unwomanly. 

I have read very few poems and letters and books on a woman's love or heart break for her man. I can actually count them. No one talks about it, no one cares about it, even in gen z world i don't see it. We are all about feminism and equality, what about equality in expressing the love for their men. Even if we do, it just stops with in themselves, how many are encouraged to write. They hardly write about how wonderful love is from a woman's perspective we can definitely forget that they will even dare to openly admit to their heart breaks. Our expression of Love stops with our cooking and bedroom skills. Maximum we would do is an appreciation post on how wonderful our man is, again all of this will be around the man but not actually on the love she has for him. Because we women think our men are above our love for them. We are supposed to move on, swallow our heartbreak and put on a smile and mask ourselves in name of self-love than go through the pain openly. We don't qualify to wallow in our heart breaks or write sad poems on the broken pieces and if we dare to do so, we will be judged so much we will write it either anonymously or have to restrict ourselves in someway.

We women are too afraid to show our hearts to anyone because men are too shallow to accept that woman can love too more than a man ever could dream of. It will hurt their pride to parade our heartbroken poems and stories, because it will definitely take down their drop in a ocean love of theirs. 

And let's all forget openly declaring our love, it's not even qualified to get into this rant of mine.
