It is important to have an honest view of what is expected of a woman, not just what society, sub-culture, family, etc. says.Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16119852290475199288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225292278154478604.post-1362345218031177322013-01-05T18:37:06.356-05:002013-01-05T18:37:06.356-05:00I'm not sure how much your response and my ini...I'm not sure how much your response and my initial post correlate. I wasn't questioning being a woman. Nor was I looking at defining any boxes. I addressed a situation, a set up. How can I, as a woman wanting a career, marriage, and maybe children, not give up everything because I am the female? I wasn't addressing supporting other women, or fighting against women, for that matter. I addressed where some of the definition of the roles of a woman come from. In reality, the roles a woman can have far exceed what certain sub-cultures state.Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16119852290475199288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225292278154478604.post-82923643379529726612013-01-04T20:50:22.110-05:002013-01-04T20:50:22.110-05:00Being a woman is a wonderful privilege! The proble...Being a woman is a wonderful privilege! The problem is that we tend to put ourselves into a box, or try to live outside that same box. In doing so, we become our own worst enemies. Yes, men have historically dominated the world and placed women at their disposition. Yes, we want to be more, do more, compete more and be recognized for and as more. <br /><br />But who do we really dress for? Who do we go on diets for? Who do we put on make up for? Men? No - other women! We want to be better than each other! We women do not support each other as a whole. We pit ourselves against each other. We compete with each other, for...I'm not exactly sure what. Maybe for men's attention? Maybe for equality with men? Maybe for higher positions or more money? But why? <br /><br />At the end of the day, we go to bed and close our eyes with only ourselves and the Lord. Which other women come over and ask if our light bill has been paid? Which one asks if our cell phone has been upgraded? Do any come over and cook for us or take us out to eat? For that fact, do any men do that for us? Does anyone at all?<br /><br />The answer is NO! No one, unless we are still living with our parents, older siblings or grandparents, or unless we are in a truly supportive marriage, has the luxury of going to bed at night knowing that tomorrow is taken care of and that there are have no real worries.<br /><br />So, then the question should really be...what are we going to do about our box? Who gets to define it? Do we? Does society? Does history?<br />BlogHearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10219890992102536479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225292278154478604.post-62419200129419709772012-11-18T00:26:31.829-05:002012-11-18T00:26:31.829-05:00Good post! I've always thought this is a very ...Good post! I've always thought this is a very interesting (and tough, it seems) subject. I'd love to hear what others think about it as well, given that I'm looking into a field that requires alot of time (most likely away from home) and attention. I don't want to give up a family for the career I choose, I want them to go hand in hand. Okay, sorry I'm rambling. :) I just wanted to say thanks for the awesome post. <br /><br />P.S.- I also love the bit about Proverbs 31. I think alot of times we tend to translate Bible passages how we want, rather than seeing what they are actually saying.
