It burns me up when married women want to be the bread winner of the house hold for the sole purpose of inflating their own egos and demeaning their husbands. If you want to be a strong leader, career oriented, bread winner type of woman, here are three cases when you'll be free to do that:
Case 1: You're single. Period.
Case 2: You're divorced or widowed and a single mother.
Case 3: You're married and for whatever reason, your husband is not mentally, emotionally, or physically capable of being the leader within the house hold.
If any of these three cases are not existent within your own life, then please give the man in your life some space to be a man. Yes you can still have your career, but let there at least be a compromise. Two things:
A: A marriage should be a partnership where man and woman equally share the responsibilities of work, finances, house, and rearing of the children OR
B: The man should work and the woman has the primary responsibility for taking care of the home while both are involved with the rearing of the children.
In either case, I suggest that the woman has completed her formal secondary education and has had prior outside working experience in order to be secure in herself FIRST.
But let a husband provide and protect you and the family. Taking away the responsibilities of a man that is both instinctual and socially required would be completely detrimental. The power struggle between the sexes is useless. Men are men and women are women. What is wrong with just playing our role within the family unit? Why do women always feel the need to mimic a man or take on his responsibilities? Just as we have responsibilities, so do they. Women don't need to prove to men that they are powerful because they aspire to be "breadwinners". If it is not mutually agreed between you and your husband, then it is out of spite and to demean his manhood in order to make yourself feel more powerful and in control.
And another thing...
Women can not sleep with as many men as they want and call themselves "pimps". As much as women want that title of accomplishment, it wont happen. It's demeaning. But if that's what you want, then live your life however you want to live it, as long as you do so responsibly (and as long as you're 18 or over, taking care of yourself, and no longer living with your parents). I know it sucks to have a double standard, but that's life at least for this age.
