We have come a long way baby. As we all know women can be whatever they want to be these days. Have a career or a family or both. However why is it that to do so a woman always has to pay the price? I read about a study that stated that if a woman wants to make it to the to of her field she usually has to sacrifice having children or be less involved in the raising of her kids. WTF? Look at the women who have run for President of the US as well as those who held the top offices in other countries and how they were judged and talked about. Not for their platforms, positions and work only, but for appearance, child rearing, their marriages and so on.
And what about judgements and double standards? If a woman has many sexual partners she is a slut and a guy doing the same is a stud. If a woman is overweight she is judged more harshly than a man with a beer gut. And if the house doesn't look perfectly clean no one judges the guy saying he is a poor housekeeper- it falls on the woman.
I wonder sometimes how we as women can work towards equality in all areas of our lives. Do we as women impose those standards on each other or is it the patriarchal nature of our society that does it? Both? THoughts on the topic as a whole? Talk amongst yourselves LOL.
