I Need Feminism Because
This happens to me all the time. And now that I have kids I'll be even further removed. 😒
I'm not sure why society assumes our roles once we've reached certain milestones. On the flip side there is nothing wrong with being a wife or a stay at home mom. But there are many women who want to do and desire to do other things. Have other talents, ambitions, and skills.
Even wives and SAHM's have hobbies, goals, and interests, outside of their relations.
The "challenge" (let's not call it a problem) is that while some women want to stay at home and raise kids, others want to have a career and no kids... each thinks the their decision is best... for everybody... and if you chose the other, you're somehow betraying "the cause." If we all could just respect each others choices without judgement, I believe we'd have a better society. Next time post in "introduceyourself" you'll get more attention. (It's a Xanga redux... LOL).
I think some on each group believe their way is the best way. But many of us don't care what the other is doing until our choices have been attacked. Or women who feel insecure about their choices tend to get the defense (well most humans). But yes I agree - just let people live. As long as they aren't hurting anyone, especially you -- don't worry about it!
hmm I'll have to figure out how to post in "introduceyourself" -- still learning this place!
