>>29015276>As if women don't want their own income and their own careers and their own success. I’m 32 and this comes from my personal experiences so take it with a grain of salt. But I found a lot of women who decided to focus on their careers did so not because they genuinely wanted to but because they were encouraged to as a way of finding fulfillment and meaning, that it is extremely trendy empowering and important, and among other insinuations that being a housewife is outmoded untrendy useless and barbaric.
Then they get a career, don’t have as much time and energy to pursue socializing to pursue romance to pursue other interests and goals. I’ve never met a single woman who when it came balls to bones described being career oriented as fulfilling and giving them happiness. They dislike competing with men, they dislike the amount of energy they need to invest in a career, and of the women I’ve spoken with all of them regret not pursuing a family after a certain age. I’m sure women who feel genuinely fulfilled in excel at their career exists but I’ve never met them.
I have met a ton of men and women both who feel extremely stupid for not having kids getting married settling down and leading a traditional life sooner, and always thought that they were never going to grow up and just have a nonstop life of partying and hanging out and doing fun stuff and having children and that responsibility was just the worst. Men and women are different and find fulfillment and meaning in different things. I’m sure there are exceptions to the rules but they are just that, exceptions.
I’m not opposed to women in the workforce, but I do think that young women in their late teens and early 20s are very susceptible to what is essentially ideological propaganda that they have to have perfect parity with men and if they have a high powered job that means they are total equals. But of course at the expense of everything else.
