We always thought modern liberated women are getting rid of tradition be it old fashioned roles, or marriage and the like. Could it be, that as time moves on tradition is getting rid of modern liberated career women, since a lot of them eithier dont marry or have children if they have children its one child and men are favouring traditional women even if they have to get them from the other end of the world ?


Why. Why not ?We always thought modern liberated women are getting rid of tradition be it old fashioned roles, or marriage a
For one, a woman can be a modern woman with career goals and have a sense of old fashioned tradition. Now, to determine what ';tradition'; is, you either mean ';society's'; version of tradition or traditions that is customary within the family unit, meaning, raised on family expectations and the traditions that the family set.





In our Family unit, it's a tradition to start up your career first, marry, then have children. For some odd reason, some are still stuck in their careers to ever marry and have children, while the rest didn't go according to the Family tradition, they had their Family first, married, and struggled for their career.





Oh well, who's to say. Tradition is like a trend. In one day, out the next.We always thought modern liberated women are getting rid of tradition be it old fashioned roles, or marriage a
ACTUALLY there are a lot of modern, liberated women who are happy staying at home raising children or having a career. They are happily married to men who appreciate having a wife who is their equal. Many men are secure enough in their own masculinity to want a woman that challenges them. Then there are men who are afraid of their own shadows. I pick the strong male that is why I am a strong woman. My boyfriend doesn't need to look across the street let alone half way across the world.


It all depends on a person's perceptions.
I dont think all modern liberated women are liberals. Many vote for the democrats. I have always wondered from what exactly the liberated women got liberated. But since I am here to provide answers and not ask questions, here is my answer:





Modern liberated women when left alone and not burdened with old fashioned roles, or marriage and the like and lesser children can find a lot of time at hand and they use it effectively to produce more modern liberated women out of many children reproduced in large numbers by the traditional women.





This answer does not assume either the modern liberated women are to be discriminated ot the traditional women are to be discriminated. If the answer offends anybody, I apologize. It was not my intention to offend the offended.





Thank you
Well, you see, there is one flaw in your argument.





This would only work if the female children of such traditional households were obligated to follow their mother's path, and they're not. I grew up in a rather traditional household, and it has actually made more MORE ';liberated'; as you put it, because I saw what traditional life was like and I don't want that at all. Even if the husband is a decent guy and not abusive, a traditional life can be very unpleasant for the woman. I pity my mom.





(Don't get me wrong, I love both my parents. But I wouldn't want to be in either of their shoes).
Yea, I have an answer.





Um... what?
Possibly. There are ingrained reasons for some traditional roles - when you love somebody and intend to keep a longterm relationship going, the natural progression is to get married. Even the most patient man won't wait forever if the woman is not interested. In many cases they'll just stay together but deep down maybe he WANTED the marriage. As far as children, when a couple has children, it's better if that couple can raise them themselves - which is only possible if both parents are not working full time and career minded instead of one choosing to be with the kids. There is always a sacrifice, whether it is financial/career, or family/home. As far as the age, I know from experience that it is easier in many ways to be a younger parent. The tradeoffs there come in the fact that you may not be as prepared, financially, emotionally, physically. Younger couples tend to have less savings, maybe not have purchased a home yet or finished paying off cars. Maybe they have not finished continuing education. The upside to this is that you may only be 40 or younger when the kids are grown and you can retire ten years later if you've saved for it. You also probably have more energy and more time to sock away for retirement and college. If you wait till later, then you may have a more comfortable life, but you may be in your 60s before the kids are grown. You may have to choose which fund gets the money first, college or retirement. You may have less energy and be able to do less with your kids if your health suffers.





Traditional is great if that's what the couple is comfortable with and what they BOTH want. I think part of the modern and liberated mindset is more or less giving women the power to CHOOSE what SHE wants regardless of what any society rules try to tell her. That's what's most important, not whether traditional or career minded is the better choice.
The problem with that argument would be that you are attaching human characteristics to a mental concept (tradition) and taking it away from the actual humans (women). If the situation you described is the reality we actually find ourselves in, it can only be by the choice of women and their desire for emancipation from men's traditions. I just feel that to ignore the historical responsibility women themselves bear in acheiving their own emancipation is to underestimate them. Women have worked hard to free themselves from what we consider ';tradition'; so to refer to tradition as something out of the control of women is to not give women the credit.
Certainly lot. Although not all of us may be involved in producing it, there will be an entire new generation of career women within the next decade.
