Since we have made a lot of progress in equality of the sexes, there have been a lot of social issues and confusion about what makes a woman what she is. I was raised in a time when girls were encouraged to strive for careers and ambitions relating to work. Also, many guys raised in my generation don't even want the stereotypical "stay at home" mom/wife. They would actually prefer an ambitious, smart lady who has a career and intellectual pursuits. A lot of girls my age look at household chores with disgust and disdain and think cooking and cleaning should be an option if they want to do it, if ever. If a guy asks a girl to cook, she snorts back "You pig-head!" Yet, in spite of all this, many still believe that there is no replacement for that special nurturing a woman can provide. If woman are now becoming bread-winners, what makes of men? What does it really mean to be a woman in this day and age?
