Have you read the letter “Dear Ijeawele” by Chimamanda Adichie?
It’s amazing how we say “feminism is about a woman being able to make her choices” but does she really make those choices out of what she wants or just wanting to let peace? Why does motherhood seem to be the only part of parenting that people pay attention to? And how true is it that some men only like the aesthetics of having a family but don’t really like the involvement of raising a child? Is marriage an achievement?
Equality is sometimes misinterpreted to be 50-50 when really it’s about meeting each other’s needs. How has this been reflected in today’s society? Why does the society still try to enforce gender roles on who does what, based on gender and not based on interests/strengths? Are there really activities or roles that only girls do better? Would you propose as a woman? Why not? Would you say yes to a marriage proposal from your woman as a man? Why not?
