Okay I am going to start this off with a little information. I am 18 years old. I am currently in college getting an education, and I want a job and a chance to earn my own money. You wouldn't judge me for this yet somehow when I turn around and tell another female my plan for later life I am treated as a bad person to my gender.
I want to grow up meet a nice man (If that's possible lol) and then hopefully get married. If this happens then I would love to at least have one child. I want to carry that child in my body for nine months before bringing it into the world and raising it myself not through a nanny. Now this is where the dirty looks come in.
I am looked at as if I am crazy, as if to want to raise my own child is wrong. I am slowly beginning to feel as if women are expected to quit their "genetic role" and just become the leaders of top businesses and have no husband or children. Now don't get me wrong if you want to run a business feel free my dear but don't fucking judge me because I want to look after my child.
Feminism nowadays no longer means equality, it is twisted by society and the media to mean stronger than men and worth more than men. It shouldn't mean that it should mean we are equal, with an equal right to work and an equal wage payment but right now it feels like that will never happen. And I don't blame men for not wanting women to be classed as stronger, we don't like men being classed as stronger so why should men like women being classed it. WE ARE FREAKING EQUALS!
Am I the only one who feels this way? I am probably not but a lot of people won't have the guts to tell others to fuck off and then they will be left being made to feel like they're the ones in the wrong. They're not! If they want to raise their child or if they don't want to use their womb for a baby that's fine.
*Disclaimer*
When I use the term genetic role I don't mean it as being their only role in life that they should do. I mean it as a woman is genetically built to have children and look after them but they get other women to do it or just decide to no have them. Now it's your own choice if you want children I am in no way saying you SHOULD have them just because your genes allow it.
