Is it really so wrong to be a traditional female in this era?

[Anonymous]

What I mean about traditional is choosing to be the submissive in a relationship. Being a house wife. Serving your spouse. Raising your kids. Of course hubby helps out too but Husband is the breadwinner. That kinda thing.

I really don't have a career driven bone in me. I like helping out my family. Supporting them. I have no ambition to be top of some corporate world. I mean do I want money or status elevation? Sure, but like I am quite content with my current situation which is in the middle.

I'm literally not doing anything productive because I have not motivation to do it. Don't get me wrong... I give my all at my current work but that's it. I just do what's needed. And all these translates with my relationships. I don't want to be the dominant. I want to support. Like a You do you while I help you do it.

And I'm being told it's a bad thing because "empowerment". It's not like I'm stopping others from doing their thing. Why is it so wrong to choose a patriarchal female role?

I dont think you owe other women anything tbh. But you owe yourself happiness and honesty. If that's what makes you happy and give you purpose, then go ahead. Raise wonderful kids if you want and please your partner.

But be honest with your partner and be sure that you two are compatible. Some men love motivated women with career goals and some love having a submissive house wife. All I'm saying make sure that you match the expectations of your future partner. Otherwise this will cause issues down the line.

But also be honest with yourself. Don't chose this life style because you gave up on life or because you are just depressed. Don't do it because you are disappointed with your career. Because no man can make you happy then. And you can't just exist for the sake of existing. But if raising a family gives you purpose and make you happy. That's a different story darling.

Also, I would say don't mix wanting to be submissive with involving with a narcissist, controlling, or an abusive man.

All the best

There is nothing wrong with either. If you want a career you can have one without losing your traditional role. The real question is who is going to be the right man for YOU? Most guys will hop on the bandwagon just to take advantage of you, especially sexually. So make sure you are with a man who already loves and appreciates you. Other than that, many will see it is wrong, but don't listen to them! It's supposed to be that way. I say for those who can go for a career, go have one. And those who are able to have somebody to share a traditional lifestyle, let them. I would want that with the right person growing up, but I realized that it wasn't for me, and most at the time never respected that lifestyle. So, go do what your life is able to offer now. You don't have to move up. But these days, two working adults are needed sadly.

I don't think so. I was always under the impression that female empowerment was about you choosing whatever role you wanted to. And not letting others dictate it for you. So if you want to be a submissive housewife; then go for that. I hope you find someone who likes you because of this desire. I know I would.

In Asia there are plenty of such girls and women.

If Asia has more than 50% the earth's population, then you're comparing a minority liberals (who are loud in cyberspace) against the majority of women on earth (who don't talk about sex online).

It's not a bad thing at all and don't let any feminazi tell you that it's a bad thing!!! Women and men should do whatever they want with their partners as long as the relationship is healthy and both partners are happy in it and making efforts! What roles you play in the relationship is no one's business but yours and your partner's. People who say that women who don't work or don't have a career goal in life are lazy or lame, are idiots, because everyone is different. You can't just make someone like what you like because you want to force your stupid ideology that "women want something else". Sure women do. But not all women are the same! So you do you girl!!!

nothing wrong with being a traditional female role, but it's quite unrealistic in today's world since two incomes are needed in order to pay for the rent or mortgage and car payments and children's needs if you have any. along with electricity food medical insurance car insurance repairs on the car and gas for the car and heating fuel oil for the home if you have one. The bills add up and it takes two incomes or more to survive in today's world. And you also have the cellphones cable and internet clothes when needed. All that takes money. And one income won't suffice. Plus you also need backup plans incase one of you's looses your job or gets a pay cut with at least 6-18 months of emergency funds plus you need life insurance and a retirement fund and money for the kids school. None of that is cheap and takes a lot of money.

No, there is not a single thing wrong with that. The problem is that feminists have made you feel bad about it. That's just what they do.

There are still plenty of traditional women around. They are the heart and soul of any healthy society.

As long as you really know what you want to do in life, are comfortable with it and will have in the future the option of changing, do what makes you happy.

[wankiam]

be what you like... feminism doesn't dictate you have to shun traditional roles. it just means you have a choice not to

[Shamalien]

it's not so wrong, it's so right, it's just that feminism is running strong in the minds of the indoctrinated

[gandolph3]

if that is what is comfortable for you, then that is what is right for you
