A man needn't be the sole bread winner, a woman needn't cook, clean and coddle if isn't in her nature. <br /><br />But eradicating gender roles is really supposed to be about enabling personal choice. So that all individuals can choose their own path based on their actual aptitudes. <br /><br />I don't think it's what we, as women, do with our choices. The importance is in that we fought long and hard to have them. It also proves more freeing to men. <br /><br />So should women stay home? Individual choice. No right or wrong answer, just the one best suited to the individual. Same thing with actually have children. It isn't for everyone and that's fine too. <br /><br />I was returning a visit, Munir and thanks for it :-) Thought I'd throw my two cents in.

I stay home with my kids because my mom is a carreer woman and I hated it. But she ended up divorced twice and has to fend for herself. So I guess for her it was the right thing afterall.Jo https://www.blogger.com/profile/01445671533915322213noreply@blogger.com
