This is what I think of women and domestication:

Being a woman TODAY, you have many more options with your life, compared to 50 years and beyond.

I still think there are MANY biases against women in the workforce (but this totally depends on the job), but women haven't always been turned down for jobs.

During wars, women would take up the role of men in leave of their absence. Women have also been teachers, secrataries, nurses, and large roles in the church community in past history-- and even today. And most of all, women have had the most important role of being a mother to nurture their children.

During the 1960s, woman have gotten a larger role in the working world. I think that's wonderful, because I'm female myself and I have so many ambitions and goals.

But my parents have always told me that being a mother is the most important role if I ever want to have a family.

I do have A LOT of goals once I graduate high school and go into the real world. And my parents are not going to stop me, because they obviously want me to be happy in my life.

But once I do settle down and decide to have a family, I want to be there for my kids.

Why would I want to let a nanny or baby sitter take care of my children while I'm off working all of the time?

I definitely want to keep a job and have kids, but this is something that would have to be discussed with my husband. When I grow up, I definitely want to make rules and boundaries for housework and children with my husband.

Depending on who works more, they would have less housework and chores, but they also would have to spend time with kids just as much as whoever is staying home. (though, that would be hard to do, depending on the situation)

And I definitely have heard of plenty of stay at home dads, but usually women take on the role because they were the ones built to carry children. But this doesn't mean women can't go out do what they want.

A women can have just as much happiness and satisfication having a job and or having children.

But having children is a CHOICE between two people. Once you're older, you may want to have kids, and situations ALWAYS change.

Depending on your situation and modern day culture, men and women have interchangable roles. What seems womanly a man can do without a problem. What seems manly, a woman can do without a problem.

But there are choices people must make, and obviously people mature and constantly change throughout life.

Did I make sense, or what? @_@

I'm basically saying roles of men and women seriously depend on your situation and the choices you make in life.
