"Do we still have problem with the freedom of women?"
No, we do not. Women are free to do whatever they like and make whatever choices they want. But just like men, women have to be willing to live with the consequences of the choices they make. And there are always consequences.
The social pressure women are more likely to get is feminists telling them they can "have it all" and should focus on a career until they are 30 or older. The FACT is that they reduce their options drastically by doing so, and many women end up alone, miserable and regretful on their 30s.
In their 20s single women have all the power in the dating world because they have all the things that are important to men... youth, good looks, sex appeal, fertility. Once they reach their 30s the tables turn and men hold all the power because women have lost much of their appeal but men now have everything women want... maturity, established career, stability, earnings. Add to that the fact that men tend to be attracted to younger women and women tend to be attracted to older men, so single 30-something women are now competing against younger, much more desirable women.
Those are just the facts of human nature and we need to be honest about them so women can make informed choices about their lives.
It is their body and they are free to do as they wish. It is no joke when you look at our population, as it is now 7.7 billion. Women are not just made to reproduce. Women are adapting to society as society evolves to robotics. Soon many jobs will be gone and people will have to figure out that next.
No. Nobody has a problem with a woman being 30 with no kids and not being married but we women ourselves know that turning 30 with no husband and no kids is dangerous if we have dreams of having kids and getting married, time is running out. The woman in the picture looks deluded or is trying to reassure herself that it's ok but if deep down she really wants those things inside she is terrified.
Women are sold this lie that we can do it all and have everything when the truth is somewhere a long the line we will have to sacrifice what we desire for something else we want and be left maybe with regret over choices we made.
A bit I think, in some societies but not in all. In some places, it's a shame and people wonder why, if you're an unmarried woman at 21.
Nowadays in our part of the world, whatever she does somebody will have something to say. If she chooses to further her career and future prospects, she's judged. If she chooses to take a step back and have some babies, she's judged. So really, they might as well just do whatever is best for them because regardless of which they choose, somebody will have something to judge them on.
Iām 34 and people lose their minds when they hear Iām waiting until later to have kids even though itās been given the green light by my doctor. Iāve been told Iām trying to āhave my cake and eat it too.ā
Well of course. Thatās what youāre supposed to do with cake.
Iām just glad I didnāt have kids in my 20s. That would have been a bad idea and Iād be miserable.
There's less pressure, but the pressure is still there. Today, a lot of women feel like they have to do it all. Have a successful career that makes enough to support them, but also have a big family and be the one to do most if not all of the housework.

I think it slowed society wise, but I think a lot of people still desire it based off how they were raised and what they value.
So why are men demonized to be a certain height and earn a certain salary by today's standards? It seems like that stupid ass narrative hasn't changed? That "nice guys" finish last, there's a difference between being a nice guy and helping others or donating to the homeless and mistaking nice for stagnant, scared and being a pushover in life. I have no problem with women being ambitious and pursuing a career, but is money the end all be all? Would a boss ever tell you "I care about you" or will they simply look at you as an employee and to get work done (most likely #2), will money ever comfort a woman the way a child would? Yes, money is extremely important a lot has changed from 2019 compared to 1999.
But I still have traditional values and I will not have my head in the clouds and believe horrible media outlets like CNN or Fox News, I will not be subservient to one political party (ie: Democrats or Republicans) because they both lie and their goal is protecting western extremist, Zionist and Wahabi values, I won't support feminism because if I cook, clean, and tell a girl I love her and I'm there for her through thick and thin wtf would I use another ism-based ideology to define my meaning to her? Y'all really have to learn in life because many people seem misguided with what they are fed. Someone may respond to this and say WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!! The question is about women not choosing marriage okayyy? My rebuttal is, yes I get it and I am stepping outside confines of the question and looking beyond that so if someone has a problem with my opinion then well... I don't know what else to say.
Technology changed things. Before the Industrial Revolution (and in non-industrial countries today), most people did physical work all day long on farms. They had lots of children, because children could help them on the farm.
Then the Industrial Revolution came, automating the old farm jobs. Although it did create physical jobs in places like factories, those too became automated. It also opened up new, educated jobs. So children started going to school, instead of working in factories and fields. Children became an economic burden on parents. Educated jobs were also far more appealing to women than physical jobs, so women started having careers.
The final change was in the 1950s, when vaccuum cleaners and washing machines began appearing in ordinary households. That cut down on the amount of time women spent doing housework. So they became more likely to have careers.
Throughout history people were expected to maintain population numbers by at least enough children according to replacement level. Thats gone since the 60's sexual revolution. Migrants are coming in because the boomers though it was gonna make them richer. Quality of life has drastically been reduced for the working class in Europe. Houses are really expensive and migrants get social housing. The cards are stacked against us. If a little social pressure to make enough babies ensures a stable society I am more than willing to pay that price!
I don't think it slows down because they believe in women's freedom.
I think it slows down because what they read on the internet or close friends/families experience.
Marriage or kids aren't guaranteed to last forever. It's not guaranteed to make women happy. Heck, it's not for everyone; which is a little too late for those who succumbed to social pressure.
All that's left is the regret and waiting for 18 years to pass by to be free again.
The pressure and expectations have not gone anywhere if you really think about it. The older, more traditional populus still (not literally all of them) tend to look at marriage and a family as a necessary milestone. The poor bastards that were raised by parents who never truly wanted children are figuring out that you don't have to fit perfectly into a little life-mold determined by everyone else and are making the choices that will ultimately benefit them and their idea of what life should be.
Women today are being told, that they should get a career first and can get a family and kids later.
Which is dumb, because fertility over the age of 35 is drastically declining and it would be so much easier, to get kids first and then start a career.
But its their life, they can do whatever they want.
And now there will be an epidemic of homeless 35+ year old women who donāt have the career to sustain a 1st world lifestyle & never bothered to get a dependable provider when they were younger because they bought the feminist line that men & women are the same. Theyāll be doomed to living on welfare. This is reality for the vast majority of these women racking up 100k in student debt for liberal art degrees.
I think it does. But the biological clock is ticking if they want to have a family and raise their own children.
It's not freedom that women get. It's pressure towards servitude to corporatism in their youth. If freedom was the point women would have been encouraged to have their kids early then be supported into having successful careers later. More men would have been given the chance to be able to support a family early on. The opposite happened, more barriers for late advancement for women and relatively lower chances for men to be able to support a family alone early.
Of course itās slowed down.
I saw a 40 yo online telling people that marriage is a trap and no woman should get married or be āforcedā to have kids.
Sheās also a liberal, old, overweight and unattractive. lmfao
Definitely, but now it seems like thereās a pressure to have it all. Be successful in the workplace, have a family (but not too late), and devote adequate time to both, all while looking amazing so you can document it on Instagram.
Yeah and honestly, that's alright for me. Some women just aren't there for kids and if they feel like they don't, no point pressuring them into having a family. I've seen enough women pressured into having kids doing horrendous jobs as parents.
I think it did and possibly is eliminated today. As long as there is consistency and equality so that the "social pressure for" men "to get married and have kids" be providers/contributors after 30-35+ is eliminated also, then all is well in my book.
It is not social pressure, it is biological reality.
A woman has until age 35 to have her children.
After that age, it is IVF and Down Syndrome until 40, then nothing.
I think it really depends on where you are. The more open minded and liberal areas, it surely has in the public eye, the more conservative areas, it's still a thing and probably always will be. I have an aunt who is super right wing and she disowned her daughter for saying she don't want to date any of the guys she's hooking her up with because she wanted to focus on her career as an engineer.
I would say that is a personal issue. Expected by who? Get over it and do what you would like to. If that is to be a Wife and Mother, ok not my business. The world would be a better place if people would own their own @&$! and stop looking for excuses and reasons.
Yes it's definitely slowed down, and there is far less pressure than there used to be. More women than ever are pursuing their careers and having children later, or not having children at all.
no we don't have as much of a problem with that anymore, which has resulted in rapidly declining fertility rates and postponed what little child births we still have into the later cohorts.
I hope those pressures completely disappear and cease to exist altogether eventually.
