Describe the ideal version f “feminism” in the 21st century.. What should gender equality, family, and status look like in the coming century?
The ideal version of what “feminism” would like, in the 21st century to me would be women having options to live and raise their family how they see fit. Working women with their husbands raising their kids, both working parents, or even women staying home and raising their children because that is where they want to be. That’s the beauty of living with the freedom of choose, women can choose to work and be held at the same level as men or women can choose to stay at home and let their husbands bring home the money while they take care of the home. I see family being an important role for whoever is taking that role in the family. So no need of institutions to raise our children, family is still a priority however gender equality is equal whether it be the man or women working the same pay grade would be expected, and the children would grow up no different than if the other. Possibly even having both parents work but only with the time the children are in school so there is still time to spend with the family and not one is there more so than the other. Really the ideal version is whatever that one individual wants it to be for me I would like to work part time and be able to take my kid possibly kids to school and pick them up and take them to school programs and volunteer to go on field trips. While also having my spouse home at 4 so that we can have dinner as a family and talk about how each other’s day went while we both make dinner and clean up after. While having this for me I do think that women who want to work and be invested in their jobs should be able to that as well as having a family if that is their choosing.
I think the same thing...ultimately what equality means to me is that we all have the opportunity to choose what we want to do , and what works best for our family.
ReplyDeleteUltimately I would love to work 2 days a week, and be home with my kids the rest of the time. I hope that I'm able to find a job where I can do that (:
I agree with you Britt. It would be nice to have family dinners every night and not have just the one parent working overtime to provide for the family and that every situation is different and what works for one family might not work for another.
ReplyDeleteI loved this post! I 100% agree I think that for you and your family someone shoudl be able to choose what is best for THEM it is not going to be a cookie cutter answer we all have differnt situations and we all can function in differnt ways. I loved all your points I know that a lot of situations may change and the fact that we can choose what is best for our family is so wondeful and it will work for us, what a great post.
