Whats the role of black women...actually ALL women in society today??
I had this long ass discussion in History class today about the role of women throughout history...and this one dude was trynna say that women belong at home...cooking infront of a hot stove...pushing out babies....and cleaning the damn house....and this got me heated because i can't believe that people still believe in that...even today...as far as we've gotten....even tho honestly we still got a ways to go...
So what is your view on this topic ladies....
My Thoughts: Well obviously i think the whole home front job is bullshit...i mean yeah of course as women we tend to take on that role naturally but there is more to life than just homemade cookies and washin' the dishes...Women should get the same respect as men in the work field...and i can't believe that even today...there are still companies and work fields where Women aren't given equal pay and equal rights...wtf is that!? Ere'body talkin bout being Independent Women...yeah...thats becoming a major theme in 2004...but it almost seems to me that women are giving up the fight for equality and settling for whats given to us...yeah there are amendments for equal rights and all that...but granted there are still companies basically violating those amendments and nobody is saying **** about it...as Women...we shouldn't give up the fight that so many women have lost their lives over...
*cough* sorry...that discussion got me heated...wanted to share....anybody??
*nods* The role of the Black Woman is the same as the role of any living and breathing Human living on this earth. To help better our way of living by spreading Truth, Knowledge and Wisdom, Procreate and...just live. Im not sure that there is a set role for anyone in society (especially here in America where we all have a chance to go Hard or go Home) and Women can make just as big (or bigger) of an impact as men. That holds no bound to race either.
As far as at home, I believe that women and men should take the same amount of responsibility in cooking, cleaning and pleasure. I believe in dual income houses where both parents work, come home tired and do whatever the hell they want. Its the privelege of working, and if she (or he, in sometimes rare cases) doesnt work then they will have to pull their weight by keeping the house clean. They dont always have to clean, but damn DO SOMETHIN. (like i said, these rules know no bounds)
even today...as far as we've gotten....even tho honestly we still got a ways to go...
I agree with you on that...we have a LOOOOONG way to go. As does anything that wants to advance in society. In order for any type of operation to be effective, everyone must be for the cause. So that means any woman that is bout her business needs to button up that blouse, pull down that skirt, and show off her greatest asset: her brains!
This reminds me of a friend I had, educated, pretty and her dream was to find a good, rich man and be a housewife..like that's what she wanted for the rest of her life!! Buy Gucci and wear diamonds. If we can get people out of that shallow state of mind, then maybe women can get futher in the social ladder. As far as being Black women, in society we are double minorities so it's twice as hard...but if you about yours, then nothing like gender and/or race get in the way cuz ur will & determination should be above and beyond those phoney labels.
For a good feminism book, read anything by Rebecca Walker (daughter of Alice Walker)
