What makes a woman....

Tweet

History has always pictured a woman with reference to motherhood, subject to a man's wishes, without rights and a man's property. Now times have changed and a woman has a new meaning. Women, nowadays, have equal rights and opportunities open to men (although it is sad to say there are still parts of the world where women's rights are oppressed). Together with the new roles that women play comes a new trend in society where both the husband and wife are working, children are left to nannies, mothers barely knowing their children anymore, usual lack of quality time with the family, so on and so forth. Don't get me wrong. I am totally agreeable to the idea that women should be productive other than the purpose of procreation. It is a woman's right as a person and as a human being. However as this era ensued, I am concerned of how the children of this new generation are taking it and the effects this may have in our society's future. In the past, women are always present to guide their children, watch them grow and get to know them. Who else knows her children better than a mother? This has "somewhat" changed as the career woman emerged. This is indeed a challenge for every woman and mother out there who wants to build a career for herself. How do you balance your time to fulfill both roles? This is very different with men. Men are expected to provide for the family, bring food to the table and the like. Women are expected to care for the children and the family. But what if a woman has dreams of her own? Should she be expected to give her dreams up for her family? This is the dilemma and our society revolves around it...
