New Women?

Just read an article about how women, and men, have changed. It said that the "new woman" does not like to commit, that she is a career oriented female who doesn't need a man even to bear children and that if she did have one, perhaps the "changed man" could take maternity, well, paternity leave and rear the children while she trotted off to work each day in her black suit and Mercedes. It recounted tales of women who date males only for temporary entertainment and when the guy becomes "broody", dump him and fast. Commitment not necessary.  The words of the article were followed by a questionnaire that asked if one thought  that the roles of men and women had changed or perhaps, inter-changed. It didn't take long to answer, "no". Of course not. Changes have taken place out of necessity. Women are amazons because men have changed, not the other way around. Of course, a career woman will play the field ( as always) but when she happens on the right man, the one who fits her psyche perfectly, she will revert to her true hormonal self and while not denying her professional role, become a wife/ career person. She will be a very good wife person who loves her husband and family but finds herself a hostess, a mother and a lover of her man. There are career women who simply do not find that man and these are the ones about whom the author of the article writes. Why have woman developed into the "career" person? Mostly, it is because of men. Bad men. Men don't seem to have the same ability to remain true to a single female. Most of them, not all, can't keep their yen for variety down. About middle age, they begin to fade out of the domestic picture and scan the horizon. Proximity is usually what occurs to break up the domestic scene. Woman have learned from others and their own experiences, therefore, to avoid commitment. They have learned to protect themselves by becoming a career woman and doing it alone. Men and their behaviours taught them. If you don't agree, find out how many of the career bent females you know began a serious career after their divorces, having gone back to work or school to make themselves over. How many traditional marriages failed after unfaithfulness? And how many stuck regardless? Touché.
