Power to the women of the world! Independent ladies! Career driven women! Stay at home mom?? Nowadays the craze is to encourage women to empower themselves, to reject the traditional ways of the past where a woman’s main role was to supply and act as a nurturing figure in the home: caring for her family (being at the beck and call to both husband and child) and doing everything with a smile on her face, permanently fully energized as if her blood was pumping red bulls. That was the way of the past.. Unfortunately, dependent on the reader, in today’s time for a man to expect that of his wife, especially in the developed world, he would be labeled a male chauvinist pig. But to me one can not blame a man to expect such things from his wife, especially when he has grown up in a household where such expectations were met with no objections. Obviously there are exceptions where I do feel that the situation is not so unfortunate. Such as when a women has no say in the matter and is forced to do things exactly as her husband demand.. a dictatorship style home instead of a democratic home. My question is how the new world responds to women who are keen on the traditional ways. Staying at home, instead of having a 9-5 career, wanting a big family of say six children and caring for them herself.. not allowing a nanny to witness the memorable moments of her children such as their first step or first world. But wanting to be there herself: Moments in life that no amount of money can ever replace. I am such a person, the things mentioned above is what fills my heart with joy; it is this that drives me to want to live. Not to drive a fast car and have bank loads of money, yes such a life would be enjoyable but it lacks the real joys of life. I desire this life but at the same time I do not intend on sitting back waiting for it to happen twiddling my fingers. Education is of utmost importance to every person that sets foot on this earth, so that is why I am at university. I don’t want to be completely dependent on my husband, but knowing he can supply for the family is a comforting fact. So would this pro-feminism world accept a girl like me and my way of thinking, or would it frown upon my actions and label me a deserter of women’s independence a back to front kind of girl.
