Men Will Never Be Happy!
Something that was very hard for me to accept was that men will never be happy with us!
I know the truth about men now, but it still pains me to read their comments on women. They think of us as terrible if we choose our career or education instead of having children, deeming us as childless cat ladies. They claim to love the familial women, but where is the praise for mothers? Motherhood was much more popular in the past and I don’t remember women being praised. Mothers are definitely not praised now.
Men expect us to have children, but act with disgust if our children may need welfare or other social benefits to survive! Something I remember that they used to tell us often was “don’t have children if you can’t afford them”. That’s exactly what so many women are doing now! They’re not having children because they can’t afford them!
Men are so detached from reality of the costs of raising children. When we put effort into our careers so our children don’t have to live in poverty, men chastise us for not being traditional! If we become stay-at-home moms and wait for the husband to provide, we’re deemed as useless gold diggers, accused of stealing a man’s hard-earned income!
We cannot continue trying to fit into the boxes that men expect us to. All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid. Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant. These men want things that are impossible to become! None of us can be all of these things at once, and it’s time that we stop trying to do so.
As women, we do need an education and a career. These are the two things that let us live on our own terms. Let’s forget about men, let’s forget about children, it’s time for 4B, it’s time for something new entirely. ♀
