Being a female is some tough shit. There are men still saying that we can’t do this and that, but that we must be a woman, who is nurturing and loving, and of course, having to be in the kitchen. There are women who say that of course women need to learn to cook, and stay home with the babies, and take care of the house.
Then there are people who say women have to be in the workforce and have no place in the home at all. This is a new era, no one belongs at home, hiding in the dark!
And then there are individuals such as myself. I believe that women should be able to do whatever the hell they want. You want to stay home with your babies and your cat? Okay. You want to cook and clean instead of being in the corporate world? You do you, boo boo. You want to go to college and earn a degree that will take you to far places? You go girl!
See, the truth of the matter is this: I believe in feminism. Feminism is NOT saying that women are better than men and that men can eat shit. Feminism is NOT saying that women are the gift of God. Feminism is saying that men and women were made equal and should be treated that way. Pay raises should be the same. If a man wants to stay home while a woman works, fine. Its their choices to do what they want.
So, my message is this: leave it alone and live YOUR life. Not the neighbor’s life, or the cats, or the postman’s, or even your significant other’s. Do what you think you should do, whatever that is and whatever it may be.
