Back in the olden days, women are set aside and men are given all the society privileges. Probably that was one of the reasons why feminist groups pushed for the equality of men and women because they got lesser and lesser opportunities to show what they've got. How many of our grannies have been a victim of domestic violence or maltratment from a man?!? I'm pretty sure that the numbers are pretty high but they were afraid to fight back. Those days, men govern and overpower women and they should take charge as if we they were born to follow orders.
People are getting smarter and these maltreated women sent their daughters to good schools to get good and well compensated jobs and to get a good man as their better half. But society talks and dictates what should our place in the community is. We are nowhere but home. Some women became liberated but not enough to show that they overpower their men for in our society...it's all about men and their machismo.
Circa '80, '90 and 2000 came, women became bolder, smarter than ever, wiser and more outspoken and all of a sudden, our small voice have been heard and being listened to. Before, I can compare our ideas or thoughts to murmurs and whispers in the wind that no one seemed to bother what we're trying to tell them.
I may say that there was really a turn of the century when year 2000 kicked in. The population of women graduating from college and those that are getting good position in companies are overwhelming! The numbers are pretty much promising for women and the number of men getting off from work and wait-for-mommy type of daddies are not too far from their numbers. The opportunities are unending and the ladder going up is getting higher that women one by one occupying seats that were once seated by men.We all thought that it is our asset but being there at the top would also mean big liability. WHY!?!? It's because our personal lives are now at risk.
Some men are proud to have a partner who is very sucessful but most of them...they just simply cannot be proud of it. Some women think that they can find a good partnet now that they have the power --- to be recognized and of course, to choose. But that's not how life is engineered! Men goes away or maybe, stays away from successful women because they think they are little in some ways. While women exerts the effort to do a good job for their men to be proud of them, these male species get very grumpy for they get a lot teasing and insults from their friends. For them, it's like having a viagra (women) but they cannot seem to get it up (men)! Then they'd think that their women are now threats to themselves. They fear that their women will now bring home the bacon - a real one- and will now become the breadwinner. what I do not and will not understand is the fact that they are threatened by the product of our hard labor. We've worked hard to be wherever we are and they think it's a problem!?!? What a loser!
For our elders, they think that it's cheap for some women to go out at night and meet up with guys. Hell yeah! True enough but don't they think that we successful women can only find their probable mates in the bar? Because these men in the first place are afraid of rejections - so they end up with losers - instead of being proud with a successful woman! We cannot have dates anymore because we're successful. That's a big and filthy BS! Haaaaaayyy...I'm keeping my cool but I cannot seem to understand why are we being punished by this set up. That women are expected to be the inferior of men. I beg to disagree with that! Can't we all be equal with equal rights to love and to know what's and who's best for us?
We all want to love and be loved and it should not have any label to it. Equality means you and me - no if's...no but's...
