To be honest I think these both have been two completely different extremes that mankind has faced. The reason why I think so is, to take the first extreme where women was treated like garbage and was oppressed by men all the time. The problem in this extreme was that women were so oppressed and D-graded that may be women did start to believe that they could not do anything and completely gave up, giving men more power and control over themselves. Women were kept away from studying and getting high education as elders of the family, mostly men, believed that women would g out of hands if this happened which is truly taking a right from a women. Because of that feminism studies stress more and more on women getting higher and better education.
The second extreme which we are in right now is something like women trying so hard to prove themselves as smart and intelligent. Women in every career and every field, shoulder to shoulder with men. This caused bit of a problem when mothers started leaving houses and children to make their career, to get ahead and proof themselves that even though they are married, have kids but still they are strong confident women “because” they are successful in their careers. But are the same women turn out to be successful in their family life? Are their kids getting as same attention as they would have if she was a house wife and mother to her kids 24/7? Is her husband happy and satisfied with her knowing that he will walk in home to see a clean house with kids all tidy and contented with her lady welcoming her in the house? Some feminism studies might beg to differ here with me as they believe that women are not to stay at home and just take care of their children and husband and all the house chores. But one cannot deny the fact that a men instinct is to go out, be social, and get to know people and work. For a women career and working might be fun, exciting and different for a while but a women would prefer staying at home whenever she will get a chance. A woman comes back home tired and exhausted from work, if her friends would ask her to go out majority of the women would not prefer to go out. For men it’s completely the other way round. Guys do not have to ask to go out they will be out whenever they get a chance.
Although feminism studies say that women should be there side to side with men. But by doing that females are ruining their own life as they are taking a burden of two people just for themselves. Firstly by having a family and kids, lets face it hardly some men can take care of kids properly others might ruining their habits. Secondly working like men do from nine to five then coming back home to a untidy house, kids and all the other house chores unless you are sick rich and can afford a full time house nanny, maid and a cook. Even if you can afford all these things do you still believe you will have the same kind of bond with your children if you were there doing all those chores for them yourself? We can vote, we can drive, we can get higher education, we can work what else do we want? We should maintain a certain balance to everything in our lives and the issue of women and issues faced by them should be balanced too.
