"Women were told marriage was oppressive.  Now wanting to be a wife is somehow controversial. (very liberated) 

Women were told motherhood wasn't enough.  Now raising your own children is called "wasting your potential".  (Imagine believing that)

 Women were depend on a man. So now depending on your boss for income is called independence. (Makes perfect sense)

 Women were told that homemaking was unpaid labour.  So we replaced it with paid labour...

and they still come home and do the homemaking.  (Girl power)

Women were told that could have it all.  Career, Children. Marriage, Home,  Nobody mentioned they'd be expected to do it all too.  (Tiny detail)

 Women were taught that needing a man made them weak.  Then we wondered why men and women started treating each other like competitors.  (That went well)

 Maybe the biggest lie wasn't that women could work. It was convincing women that home, motherhood, and marriage were beneath them.   (And calling that liberation)

 

 

 They told women they could be anything.

They just forgot to mention that wife, mother and homemaker were apparently the wrong answers. 😅

Somewhere along the way, liberation stopped meaning having choices and started meaning choosing the approved ones.

Build the career? Empowered.
Climb the ladder? Ambitious.
Outsource the home? Successful.

But say you want your husband to provide while you raise your children, make a home and build your life around your family?

Suddenly everyone is deeply concerned about your “potential.”

I don’t think women needed convincing that they were capable of working.

I think they needed reminding that creating a beautiful home, nurturing a marriage and raising the next generation were never lesser ambitions.

If feminism is about women having choices, then women choosing traditional roles shouldn’t make people this angry.

Maybe we weren’t liberated from oppression.
Maybe we were taught to look down on the things women once valued.

And some of us simply aren’t buying it anymore. 

 “Women should have choices!”

Okay… so why does everyone lose their mind when she chooses her husband, babies and home?
