Oh, feminist movement of the previous generation, what have you done to us?
All you wanted was gender equality, but is there such a state of being? Can men/women do anything "just as well" as a woman/man? I know it's the law, but we have so many unnatural ones anymore.
What if a woman doesn't want a career but would rather get married and be a wife and mother? Why is SAHM (stay at home mom) considered less honorable by our silly society?
This song makes me think about the plight of women today. It is written and performed by a young woman from the UK named Lily Allen.
She sings about a modern woman who isn't necessarily interested in a career, but can't seem to find a mate. She's nearing 30 and still single, and she's stuck in this strange predicament where she's getting rather old to be settling down in the traditional sense, yet that's all she's been wanting to do.
In reality, without expensive fertility treatments (not covered by most insurance plans), a woman older than 30 is less likely to even get pregnant. What good is a woman who's failed to make a career with her younger years, but can't now find a decent mate because of her age? What kind of man who wants a family is going to settle down with a woman whose eggs are about to expire?
What's a woman to do?
It is quite insightful of you to see how the feminist movement has actually harmed women. But I guess a woman can see that only if she admits men and women DO have their differences.
