No doubt. The women must be where we are feminism, equal opportunities, economic independence, professional recognition
and intellectual respect. But I sometimes think that so many struggle to be recognized at the same level of men eventually negate the value of the feminine. If you are a successful professional and dares to say he wants to be a mother, for example, or would like to take care of your family, your hand will turn heads,
words are muted, the sip of coffee and come a jam : but if you have a whole future ahead!
What time mother, wife or housewife became frustrated woman mean? I think feminism lacked include in his speech that, in addition to being respected as people with the same capacities men must be, precisely because what makes us women: the ability to have children, the ability to care, the ability to build a family.
result? A constant struggle to balance the woman on the professional and the mother and not die trying. Overnight in white trying to sleep the little tyrant who cries from 2 am, and it alone, if you decided you do not need a man to raise a family, or simply irresponsible fled. Rise like a zombie, adjust the report for submission to the board, handle worse than Bogota taxi driver to arrive on time,
makeup in the car, perfectly coiffed attend meetings, working nonstop, trying to out as early as possible to receive the children, checking homework and be ready to start again.
And if the board goes up late, look between grandparents, uncles and neighbors who can take care of children. The woman took all the responsibilities of man, but not delegated any. No one applauds the achievement of a profesionalmamá-wife. Nobody called to congratulate on how well it takes a home. At these times, when I feel I hate feminism, I hate not being able to stay home with my son, not being able to fire a husband at the door, can not openly admit that sometimes made me feel more rocking my baby talking to a minister. It's time claim the role of women who decided to become mothers, and family building.
