women rocks!

Before I think we have a social system by which men dominate. Men are regarded as the authority within the family and the society. Men get to have good education and they can pursue the career that they desire. But with the power that these men have, comes also a big responsibility for them. They have a responsibility to take good care and fulfill the needs of their families.

Women in the other hand have limited choices in life than men. In my personal opinion, during these earlier years women are more expected to stay at home. They are more likely to do house chores. Sew, cook, wash the clothes, take good care of their kids and when there are social gatherings they are expected to come and stand next to their husbands. Not all women are given the chance to study. Or if they are given the chance to attend school, they are still expected to get marry and have their own family at a certain age. They would stay at home, wait for their husbands and serve them. I can say that during these earlier years men have greater opportunities than us, women. They get to meet, interact and socialize more with different people than women do.

But with our current society men and women are more equal. We are now given the chance to study and even have our own career outside the house. We even have more options when it comes to jobs. The work that is said and believed to be only for men, now we women are also capable of doing it so and we can also excel in that certain field. But at the same time we still never forget our responsibilities at home. We women have more choices and options in life now. We get equal opportunities with men. If we are not yet married at the age that some people believe to be a marrying age, that is no longer an issue to us. Today, women who are not married are even called bacheloret. (Oh diba hindi naman pangit yung tawag na nila sa mga unmarried women of today?) For me it’s not a really bad thing to be a bacheloret. Yes, you may not have your own family yet but in the other hand you are successful in your chosen career. We women have our ways to find happiness and feel fulfilled. We can find happiness with our friends, with the people around us, with our career and every job well done that we do. So because of these many choices laid right in front of us, we can do more things and be more helpful to the society. We are not afraid to commit mistakes and fall down because we know that we can still stand on our own. We, women of today are strong and independent beings.
