Old fashioned way? Maybe!
Hello boys and girls, long time no see! In my English course, I always need to write texts about some polemic thing. I love to write them, so I will “glue” (Ctrl+V) here to everyone looks and makes some comments.
The question was: About men’s and women’s rights, what is better: 1) The roles must stay the way they are, men working and women being protected. The roles were defined a long time ago and there is no reason why they should be changes now. 2) Women power, the roles must change!
My answer:
Like I always say, the answer to this situation is finding the equilibrium. If you just stay in one point of view, you will not see the advantages of staying in the other side.
In this modern society that we live in, things have to be change in a lot of situations. The male race cannot think that they are more intelligent or more SUPERIOR than women. The roles for men and women are changing, and will be difficult to stop the girls. But I think that men, knowing or not, like, or will like, this changes. Wouldn’t it be nice, for an example, to not have all the responsibilities about bringing money and be the protector of his family? Sometimes, women like to have this kind of responsibilities and will do those tasks without complaining.
A total revolution, on the other hand, isn’t necessary. To stay unfashionable, sometimes, is the right way, because men and women are different, and act in very different ways. Would be very strange especially to the person who is writing this text, if some things about gentleman stuff suffer a big change. To list some examples, will always be strange if a girl asks a boy out, to make out (hehehe), while is normal to a boy do this invitation. And a man opening the door of the car and paying the bill (in a restaurant situation) on a date will always show respect in relation to the woman.

To finish, I will just remember again: roles are changing and will change more in the near future in the entire world, but will not be a disadvantage to the men race. But another formal roles, totally different from the principal ones, must stay. Because there will always be a men X women fight, but, at the end, they were made to love and respect each other.

I think you notice that it has been a long time since I have put some thoughts here. The reason is that I was trying to stay a week without candies and internet, some of my passions, and you can notice I haven’t concluded. About candies I don’t have an alibi, today my friend Mari brought an orange cake to school, and I ate five slices… :P. However, the Internet has a good reason! I had to choice: I had to reed some e-mails about my birthday party. My conclusion: nowadays, it’s impossible to stay without internet! Not only for fun, but all the negotiations and the paper works needs to be made here! Brilliant, hã?

I believe things can change, but honestly I like being "taken care of". I have more of what it takes to be a mother to my children, and to be able to nurture them as they grow than my husband does. I think he is a great provider, and he ENABLES me to stay at home and not have to send my kids to a daycare or another persons home. I dont want to leave the raising of my children in the hands of another person. I hate the idea of having someone else take care of my kids all day long, as I think I could do a better job than some people out there. I dont view it as men being better than me, as I am the one who gets to stay at home with my kids! HA! I have the better part of it.
BUT, I also think when my kids are older, I will take a job and bring home some extra money for our family. It will also be a job that I can be at home when my kids are home. :)
You are so right mom! If you can do this, why you won't do it?
But in the future you can be Victoria's secrets boss again! hahahahaha :}
kisses, livi
