2. So Sick of It

I am so sick of hearing about how most women would be happier just being mothers. I plan on becomign a virologist and it makes me sick that kids who come from divorced homes are getting stigmatized. When something like divorce happens, it's not the kid's fault. Furthermore, a lot of women who give up their careers sometimes end up getting divorced and left with nothing and kids to take care of. I certainly don't want to be in that position or have my husband drop dead and be unable to support myself and my kids.

This cult of motherhood is making me sick. I don't want to solely take care of my children. Until I get married I don't want to sit around and do nothing. Rightly if I may add that a lot of men don't want to be the sole breadwinners. Are men supposed just marry women who haven't proven themselves able to run their own life and then they are supposed to trust said woman to run his life and that of his children? It's illogical and impractical in this day and age. As for companies, there are all sorts of horror stories about women who get hired, qulify for beenfits, and then start breeding and neglecting work and soaking the company for maternity leave.

Business is business and they shouldn't exist soley to fund a woman's mommy time. Another reason businesses are locating overseas. I mean, if a woman wants to dedicate herself 24/7 to her career, why should it be handed to someone who wants to spend all her time breeding like a bunny? Why go to college/university if all you are going to do is get married and have a kid. It's disturbing because I think that a lot of women who idolize motherhood have a distorted idea of what it really means. I also remember how the 9/11 wives got huge payouts and then complained how it was only a few years' salary, how it wasn't much. Downsizing never occured I suppose.

I don't want to be only a mother and wife. I would go nuts. Women with personalities that aren't geared toward motherhood shouldn't be shoved into it if it's not for them.
