EVE HESSE: IN RESPONSE TO BEING UNIQUE AS A WOMAN

A fantastic strength and courage is necessary to be a woman and we are unique in certain ways. Still to this day men make more money that women. We not only have to struggle and strive in the workplace, we also have to struggle with what I feel is a natural urge to carry out woman oriented roles and still compete in a world where we have to prove ourselves and requires us to work so that the homemaker is now scorned upon. However, I am no feminist, I do believe men are unique in ways that we are not and they also have to struggle to live up to this macho standard that has been created for them. If they choose not to be into sports or violence and leads a more refined or cultured life, men are at risk of being labeled gay. They have to be they money makers and protectors of the house and the family when they might need just as much help and comfort as a woman would. I am glad to see however women in search of a more meaningful pursuit of achievement, not saying being a housewife isn't if that is all you want to do, but almost every woman can raise a family, our freedom to education and career choice is something to be appreciated and can be done while carrying out traditional domestic roles as well. It shows that we are of equal existence as men and can achieve just as much too, with double the workload of a household existence as well.
