I grew up in a traditional family but I always very care about my personal right since I was a kid. If my little sister grabbed my toys without asking that is not about I don’t want to share, that is about she didn’t ask for my permission when she tried to touch my personal property. I guess I watched too much lawyers TV shows at that time.
But as a girl growing in a traditional town with this mindset helps a lot. You know your rights, your personal property and you want to protect your right. It is good to have this kinda sense since you were a girl. Because while your family would tell you what to do can help you to get married or while other people worry about they wont getting married at certain points in their lives, what I care about is-if the marriage law protect my right? if the marriage law in my country doesn’t protect my right, then marriage won’t be benefiting for me, why would I get married?
Same thoughts as the pieces we read this week, if more than one person living in this house, why would only one person responsible for the household? Especially we know how much to hire a cleaner per hour or a nanny per hour, why would being a family member make our work becomes free just because of love? And if it is about love why would these housework makes my back hurt and why would my partner only say nice things to comfort me but it doesn’t decrease my back pain at all and what he can do is taking the laundry our instead of giving me a hug and saying things. And that’s the real deal there, if they avoid to help that means yes they also think that work is annoying or would hurt their backs too. And they rather your back hurts.
