(6,272 posts)The personal stories of our families create the foundation of our imagination, or ideas of what is or is not possible and how we may look at it all.
I get the idea from your posts that you think that women are given an easier path than men.
I think that women and men have typically been offered very different paths and that in our current society and time the paths are more parallel. But we are not used to it, perhaps.
I think that in the past it was considered the female burden to go through the enormous pain and life threatening risk of bearing children- used to be a whole lot so them and in some places still is- and the men to go to the wars, always some new war.
I hope that these days with an over all reduced tolerance for both wars and large families that as individuals our personal lives can have less suffering and more joy. And that we can all spend more time in ways that are productive and creative.
