What's the difference between a woman and a man? In today's society, nothing is really that different. I try my hardest to look at everyone as an equal, but with so much discrimination going on, that's pretty hard to do.
Women today face a lot. Women do not make as much money as males do and they seem to give up a lot for their careers. Many successful women are not married or even dating. They are very career-driven and don't find much time for a relationship.
If they are in a relationship or married, it usually doesn't last because they neglect everything and treat their careers like they are number one. I'm not saying that this is their fault, but it's society's for making females feel that they have to work extra hard to prove themselves.
Women who hold authority or positions of leadership can easily be labeled "bitches" for doing the same things men do. Another major challenge that women face today is being labeled bad mothers for having a career or placing their children in day care.
When I think of day care I see a place where children can go to enjoy themselves and be around other children their age. I feel they get a jump start on learning how to socialize and become comfortable with others.
Believe it or not, some women would call that bad parenting. They feel as if you should be with your child every single minute of every day. They look at day care as a place where you can just leave your kids to find time for yourself.
When I was 15, my cousin gave birth for the first time. She always complained about how she didn't have time for herself and how much her life has changed.
When her daughter was old enough to be placed in day care, she signed her up. A week later, a group started standing outside the day care with signs saying things like, "If you didn't want kids why did you have them?" and, "How are you bonding with your children if they are not with you?"
I always wondered why they felt so strongly about it and why they felt they had to do that. But some women believe that a woman's place is in the home. I grew up with a working mother and father, and I bonded with my mother at an early age.
I know some of the things that women went through just to be treated equal and to be looked at as more than a housewife and a mother, so I find it hard to believe that there are still women who think that a woman's place is only in the house.
I don't think like that at all. In fact, I treat women equal in every way! I'm not saying that I'm not a gentleman or I don't have manners, but I feel like this: if you want to be treated like an equal, then it should be with everything and not selective things.
When I go out with a woman, I don't always pay. I sometimes ask, are you going to get this? I have been called names for doing this, but if you want to be treated equal you have to start somewhere!
It's like this: you're either going to be treated equal or not. You choose.
