It is seriously sad to think that there is still millions out there who think that being a housewife is the “dream” job. When your place in the world is to breed and serve. Surely, they are not considering the silence they will have or that their opinions will matter. To have that be the American dream is frightening. Generationally it has been passed down to be the counterpart to a man. If you do this, you won’t find a husband. Be softer, kind, dumb and pretty. Have no say and let the man lead. I could think of a million other things id rather do than act in a way that would find me a husband or make me a mother. For that to be an aspiration to millions of women is pathetic and we need to change that generational gap. When searching for a snapshot for this week, I was shocked at how many right-wing based pages of meme’s I found on how being a housewife is a blessing and should be taken as a prize. This does nothing for the future. I do feel hopeful as the more recent generations are choosing to not procreate, whatever their reasonings. Hopefully this ends that mindset the patriarchy has pressed so deeply on millions. When it comes to house work and the liberations of, in my relationship it is split. I couldn’t imagine being any other way. If I was expected to do the “womanly duties” or have my partner say “show me, youre so much better at it” i would probably have a charge and that’s never good. I wouldn’t be with one that couldn’t provide sexually to my needs. I feel in the myth of the vaginal orgasm, men and women are taught that we need penetration and that provokes the vaginal orgasm. There are many ways to achieve orgasm. Personally, I must be emotionally or really physically stimulated for that to take place. Freud’s theories are theories and have been outdated for years. Those theories once again cater to men. Men are really bad at achieving female orgasm and I feel most women have experienced their first without a man and all by themselves. When looking at Shavoya’s snapshot it makes you think if that man in that picture has ever made a female orgasm? Probably not. His “housewife” probably wants to drop that cake right on his head. We can only hope going forward women will not settle for these social constructs that wear and oppress them.
