Women were sold a lie in feminism and the sexual revolution. I thought I was a “feminist “ as a young woman. Raised without a dad (died when I was 7) I realized early women needed to be able to take care of things in any case. I joined the military, spent 4 years being a strong independent woman haha. I decided after pulling security for crusty old senators that I’d have to sacrifice my life in the event of attack, I was 20 years old t. I realized that I wanted kids, I wanted a man to lift the heavy objects, to open the doors etc. I met my absolute best friend who became my husband. Almost 20 years and 6 kids later I’ve been a stay home mom for 18 years. I cook, and clean, and take care of the kids. We are partners and have our roles, he fills the gaps where I fall short and I do the same for him. We were lied to, men and women are not in competition. We compliment each other, we make a whole union to create a family and raise children. I love my role, I love my husband and partner and my children, I love being a mom. We need to make being a mom great again, make being a woman who takes care of families normal again. It’s an uphill battle but one we can win. I’m starting with my own kids, we raise them to see the value in it, the stability and joy in it.
