Story
A female friend of mine has settled in another city, and threw a small housewarming party. It was 4 of us guys and 6 girls. We wined, dined and enjoyed ourselves, making jokes and telling dumb stories. You know the drill. But there was a moment that caught my attention, and I thought of sharing it with you TRP folks.
At some point in the evening, the guys gathered alone to, well, to just talk like guys. The girls seemed to be fine with the splitting as well, since ,you could guess, they started talking more "serious" girly stuff.
I leave the guys and go to the dining table to refill my glass. The table is closer to the girls. As I pass it, I hear one of the girls say the following in a manner filled with disgust:
You know what, "Lisa" is a privileged bitch. She married someone and stopped working. says she wants to focus on being a housewife and a mother.
At this point I leave, fearing they would think I am some sort of eavesdropper, though I could see them turn all gloomy.
Later that evening, I ask one of my better female aquaintances what that was all about. She says:
Well, it's just "Maria" letting off steam. Lisa talks all the time about how she can't wait to get pregnant and take care of her family, how she wakes up to make breakfast for her husband, kisses him goodbye and off she goes to bed for another 2 hours, not having to go to work. She seems to have an easy life you know.
I also saw that gloomy look on the face of my aquaintance as well.
Theory
*At this day and age, being a stay-at-home wife is considered among a growing number of women to be a privilege, a luxury.
*Since the sixties and even long before, women were screaming their lungs out about emancipation. They wished to be freed from the "shackles" that bind them in housework. They wanted to be liberated in their sexuality, education and courier paths. They wanted to touch the world and gaze upon it with hands and eyes considered equal to those of men, yet their mimickry of us has left them more depressed and miserable than ever before.
*I've seen few girls who whish they had the lifestyle of a fifties wife: a loving husband to take care of everything but the housework; and somehow, I think that number of women is rather higher than lower, considering that many of modern women are basically married to the state.
Tl;dr
In the words of Sigmund Freud:
What does a woman want?
