Gender Roles

Gender Roles 

While I am one to crave independence, particularly because I have strong women figures in my family—such as my mom and sister. I still (personally) love the idea of letting a "man be a man". I’d love to cook dinner for my husband or husband to be even work from home to be a stay-at-home mom.

There also nothing like being treated like a lady! I love it when a man opens my door, “comes to my rescue", a man who holds me at night, and make me feel safe. My future man can even bring home the "bacon". I would be okay with that. BUT there is a lot going on now-a-days that I have observed. I have observed that these roles have been misplaced. For one- wanting that could come off like I am a "gold digger". Second I am surround be such strong women, not working and getting my "own" shouldn't even be a thought about.

AND YET still us “real women” have to bob & weave through a crowd of cowards. Some men actually expect to be taken care of and I ain't talking about laundry. I've seen it, some men are afraid to be men—A little off the subject but where I am going with this is: there is a little girl in all of us waiting for our knight, our prince a “real Man”. We go out into this world with lot ideas on what to expect and how men should be but what we should do is write out what role WE want our man to play in our lives. Not what everyone says and thinks on what we want.

We, you, should take from past experiences, ask yourself what was is it that I REAALLY want and create the perfect, your perfect "gender role".  I would add go ahead forgive and heal your emotional woes of past expectations and begin again to have faith.

Now I don't completely agree with the idea of “gender roles”. I am not nor will I ever plan to be the average "stay at home mom". I believe in fulfilling dreams, putting my desires first, exhausting my talents, earning an income and being seen as capable and equal to any man. I also desire respect as a human being, not just as a women, not just due to gender.

We sometime forget these roles can be fun and fulfilling. Some things just come naturally to (some) women and (some) men. Using these strengths to build and create a beautiful life should be the goal.
So go, write out your desires, picture it, and make room for him to fit into your life. Because when we fail to dream again, to believe in love again, we fail to really live.

What do you think about Gender Roles? Is it played out? Is it old school or is still some good men out there? Leave a comment below.
