I think woman have to work harder at being a female. I think being a woman can be a beautiful think to those that want to acknowledge their womanhood. Except that man wants to sex u up.

Well, I am 35 and I have an opinion. I don't feel there is equality of men and women because of genetics. I get bashed a lot by femenists who disagree with me.
I know that women can be equally as good as men when it comes to careers and what not, but it still doesn't change the fact that we are genetically different. Therefore, we feel, think, and perceive things in a different manner. We are built different physically, mentally and emotionally...
I embrace that. I wouldn't want my husband to be the same as me just because he's trying to be my equal, and I don't expect he would like it if i was that way. i enjoy my job, but I enjoy being a housewife and taking care of my family.. Why would I want to be a career mom when one of the problems with the world is the absense of parents in the home to begin with.. Consider me old fashioned.
I appreciate the hard work that women have done in the past to pave the way to help women become more successful and empowered, but I dont' appreciate when they go overboard. They end up making all of us women look bad and make it harder for us in the end. It comes full circle and hardly anything gets accomplished by it except a bunch of drama.
I think a woman can feel empowered enough just by a few encouraging words, I don't think we have to protest everything. You don't see men doing that every 5 minutes. They are simple beings, why can't we learn somthing from that simplicity?
So those are my feelings on the matter. Good luck on your paper, i'm sure you will get a lot of feedback, it was a great question.

A very broad question. My hubby and I are pretty equal in the responsabilities we bare in the home. He works outisde the hm, I don't. I do things pertaining to our business, he does chores in the hm, helping with the kids. I think we're pretty equal.
I think things are much better, than the day when my dad wouldn't dare change a diaper or my mom wouldn't conceive working a job or having a business.
The feminist movement was a fake. it made women leave their homes, children be raised by strangers, sex become a disease and men become lazy and complacent.
I believe in certain roles and I know most women in their 30's do too and want to return to older values. Ironically my children may want to reverse it again.
I think babies need their mommies, values need to be up-held and daddys need to remember their roles as father, not sperm donors. It has hurt this country long enough andbaby boomers need to move out of the way, quick!

At 40 something, I feel I think I qualify as middle aged, but I still feel 30 something, I can still run, jump, crawl, talk, cry, scream, etc. As for the feminism part, I like to have doors open for me, but if there is no one there to open them, I know how to open them myself. It would have been nice to have a husband/father there for my children when they were growing up (as society dictates), but he wasn't there and my feminist ways were projected onto my 3 daughters. They are college educated young ladies, with their own means of survival and they are not waiting on "Prince Charming" (who by the way died of AIDS in the early 90s). As with everything else, I believe that women have molded feminism to suit their needs when needed and to place in the purse when not and to cross their legs and let it be.
