How times have changed

Growing up in the 60s and 70s a womans place was in the home. The husband was the head of the house. I find now women are not only equal but more in charge of men. Managers company owners and running the home. maybe the world would be better if women was in charge. I think there would be less wars and people would get on with each other. Just my opinion

I’m not sure that gender is a deciding factor in aggression or more peaceful world politics. Looking at some of the women we have had in the British parliament and some of the crazies in the American Congress, I don’t always see a great deal of diplomacy or what we used to think of as ‘ traditional feminine attributes’ playing out. I’ve happily worked with and for women as well as men and each has had their strengths and weaknesses.

I considered myself fortunate to have had my mother at home when I was very young, but eventually she was forced out to work because of financial pressures. We coped.

I’m not so sure it’s about gender; just someone with a working brain and less ego. Unfortunately, there are women in positions of government here (Tulsi Gabbard, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, to name a few) who are just as determined to destroy our country as any of the men. 😞

My parents both worked outside the home, and they didn’t just have jobs; they had careers. I was raised with the understanding that there was no reason for my mother not to be able to achieve her dreams as an individual and have a family, even as my father did. They were also happily married for 66 years.

In my honest opinion its all about power. Power changes people, women included. You have to think about Queens throughout history who beheaded people for next to nothing. They were cruel to the poor sometimes. So its not about gender in my opinion but moreso about power.
