Today's Woman
Author: Rose DesRochers

She is a guide, mentor, mother, nurturer, wife and friend. She
is many things to many people. She is Today's woman. She is a
new woman in ever changing new world or is she? She gives and
she takes only what is earned. She speaks up even when it feels
uncomfortable. When life gives her lemons Today's woman takes
those lemons and makes lemonade or does she?

As a woman today I have the same goals in mind as my mother
yesterday. I want just as much to raise and care for my
children in a healthy home environment. The only difference
between me and my mother was that she was born in 1932 a time
of poverty. By the age of 12 she was at home raising her
brothers and sisters instead of attending school. My mother
grew into a woman and took on the job of mother and wife. My
mother never worked outside of the home until my father's death
in 1988. At this time she was faced with no education, no job
experience and was forced back into the work force. She took a
job at a factory until health forced her into early retirement.
But she did what she had to do to survive.

Today I want as much for myself and my children as my mother
did. However today as women we have worked our way into the
right to vote, to fight for equal pay, to break away from
traditional roles but I think we have over stepped our roles.
No longer is Today's Woman concerned with equality but we have
pushed our way with a feminist movement that we are now one up
on men.

The abortion movement is one fine example of that. The law
allows a woman to take power over a joint decision by aborting
a life made by both man and woman and the man has no say over
it. Yet the same feminist are demanding that fathers pay child
support and alimony instead of teaching the single woman to
financially support herself. Feminist have created Today's
woman all right, they have trained and molded her to be a
victim. I will tell you that there are no victims in life only
those who willingly volunteer to play the role.

The sad thing is feminist don't even see how sad and how much
of an embarrassment they are to other women like me. Today's
Woman is teaching Today's Woman to take control over something
that involves both a man and woman like abortion and yet at the
same time making her depend on her man's money and encouraging
the government to give her special privileges.

Being Today's Woman should mean that you can make a
contribution to humanity as a whole. It should be about finding
your passion in life and embracing it with determination and
depending on only yourself. Today's Woman has more than equal
rights and she still wants more. She wants to eat her cake and
have it to. Come on you have to admit that the feminist way of
thinking is pretty much bios. She wants the same rights as man
but accepts a few favors because she has a set of tits and
ovaries.

At one time the feminist movement might have actually stood for
something, meant something to me as a woman but sadly not
anymore. I was proud to be a feminist when women were shouting
and marching up the street take back the night don't be a
victim. But now Today's woman has gone from the nurturing
caring mother like my mother was to a bitter resentful woman.
Sadly by Today's woman standards if you are not a woman on the
side of the line who believes in aborting the unborn child and
taking Daddy to the cleaners in a messy divorce then you're not
real women.

Today's woman has labeled all women victims. By Today's woman
standards there is only one way to think and that is their way.
They have no problem in playing the helpless female role and
taking power over man. But lets look at this perhaps it is man
who is really the victim.

There are sadly too many double standards set by Today's woman
so maybe I'm yesterday's woman after all living in Today's
World. A mother is perhaps the most noble, important profession
in society. Maybe I am just a woman who was born in the wrong
century.

I know a young thirty-four year old single mother who is
bringing up five children on her own. She is a woman that I
admire as Today's Woman. She cares about the well being of her
family. She struggles daily to uplift her family out of poverty
and provide the best for those children. She made the ultimate
sacrifice a mother can, she leaves her children each day to go
to work and provide for them. She doesn't have any daddy in the
background paying child support and alimony. She is both mother
and father. She is what Today's Woman should be about. Tammy
Chambers is a lady that I greatly admire as Today's woman and
she could certainly teach the feminist movement a thing or two.
