Hmm…I dunno. Choosing to be a wife or a mother or a homemaker doesn’t mean devoting your life to pleasing your spouse. Woman need to be responsible, indenpendent people first and foremost.
I think that’s wrong and it’s a despicable behavior for any person to live in the shadow of another. The idea of a woman ONLY being the one that does the “domestic” duties is an outdated and dangerous idea— in my opinion. :o
Is it the same across South America…Brazil too? Brazil seems so progressive is so many ways.
I haven’t seen recent figures for Brazil, so I’m not sure.
For me the issue has become rooted in seeing my spouse and my sister-in-law and the way their parents have differentiated treatment based on their genders. Seeing the small male cousins being sold a kind of masculinity that depends upon seeing itself as better than being a woman. Seeing the family get together, and have the men all be out in the yard drinking beer while the women cook and clean in the kitchen. I love them all as people, but those are not values that I share.
(and that’s not to say that there aren’t people in the US like that, I’ve just experienced it much more often when on my foreign sojourns)
Interesting. “It’s been a long road” as the say in Star Trek Enterprise 
And we are still “getting from there to here” also.
You mean the 'talos’d?
