In previous centuries, when men were forced to hunt for mammoth, the role of a woman was limited to 2 main functions: giving birth to children and maintaining the family hearth. The man in those days was in charge and his authority was unshakable. Now we see that the situation has changed dramatically and the view on the role of women in most developed countries has become different. A woman in modern society has her own status, respect, recognition, she has a personal opinion on any matter, her own system of values ​​and priorities, her needs depend on herself. In the modern world, no one is surprised by the presence of women in politics, science, medicine, business; it has become normal that a woman can influence the development of global processes. We can say that a woman, in the conditions of the modern social paradigm, is an exceptional case. Let's look at where this exceptionalism lies and what is behind it. The role of a woman in modern society: As you already understand, in modern realities, the role of a woman is not limited to running a household, raising children and unquestioning “submission” to her husband. Today this position has lost its popularity and former importance. These are echoes of conservatism and old foundations, but to this day, you can meet women who prefer to live according to this scenario. This will surprise some, but this is a conscious choice of these women. Some representatives of the fair sex consider their true purpose to be to maintain a home and devote themselves entirely to their husband and children. This is not bad, it is important to remember that each woman has her own values ​​and priorities, each is realized in her own way. But do not forget about such a concept as “social status”; it is very important that you play the role of not only a housewife, beloved wife and wonderful mother, but also have a stable position in society. This is a huge plus if you are independent and financially stable. Therefore, do not rush to “give” all of yourself to your family; first, get an education, work experience, and learn a hobby that will bring you joy and maybe additional income. It is important not to be afraid to try something new and look for yourself. When you are independent financially and socially, you will feel much more confident, your future will not be groundless and devoid of prospects. Fears that may arise on the path of self-realization: Most women may think, if I choose a career, I will devote little time for your husband and children, what kind of man would tolerate this? He will probably leave me, etc. If such thoughts come to you, then this is a serious reason to stop and understand your fears. In fact, a modern woman should be prepared for absolutely any development of events, even if a divorce occurs, in our time this is not considered something humiliating or catastrophic; consider what happened as the beginning of a new, more interesting chapter of your life’s journey. Divorces happen for various reasons, and the fear of this phenomenon is definitely not a reason to neglect yourself and postpone the process of self-realization. And you should also not ignore the fact that a woman who has education, hobbies and various hobbies will interest a man much more than one who is burdened only with domestic life. A resourceful, fulfilled woman is able to seriously captivate a man, motivate him and inspire him. In addition, such a woman will always be able to support any conversation, give the necessary advice, she always has her own point of view regarding any situation. Such a woman has a busy life, you want to follow her and do things for her. Status of a woman in modern society: A woman is a leader: such a person can easily compete with a man and even bypass him, she is able to lead people, she tends to control everything and make responsible decisions. Determination, ambition, self-confidence and self-confidence, unwillingness to give in to men, the desire to always be right in everything,Such women find it difficult to admit their mistakes and have a hard time making any concessions; giving in for them means stepping over themselves and their principles; they are not used to asking for help, do not know how to give up, and do not like to demonstrate their feelings. A man with leadership qualities will find it extremely difficult with such a woman, “there will be no mercy,” such an alliance can turn into a “battlefield” and constant rivalry between partners; A woman is a careerist: for such women, career and self-realization are in the foreground, recognition is important to them colleagues and superiors, career advancement is their main task. They see opportunities for self-realization and go ahead, not noticing anyone or anything around them. They often say about such women that “she is married to her work.” While all their friends are giving birth to children, these women are building a career, mastering a new profession, and taking additional education courses. But it also happens that, having reached certain heights, the feminine principle in them takes over and thoughts about starting a family and having children begin to flash through their smart heads; A woman is a housewife: this woman is an exemplary wife and a wonderful mother, she always has perfect order, she knows the daily routine of all family members, she always has several dishes for breakfast/lunch/dinner, looking at such a woman you might think that she has an ideal family. But such a woman, in an instant, can become a “read book” for her man, very predictable, all your actions are “in the palm of his hand.” Therefore, even if you are an exemplary wife, sometimes you need to deviate from the usual path and surprise your man. For example, you suddenly signed up for dancing, English lessons, went on an excursion alone, etc. A little unpredictability in your behavior will fuel your man's interest in you. Of course, there are women who are quite happy and live an ordinary life, a familiar scenario, for many years, everything is stable, nothing new, but I am of the opinion that this style of behavior can be due to a number of reasons, for example: a tyrant spouse (abusive relationship) or the reluctance of the woman herself to realize and learn and something new (she is not interested in anything, she does not strive for anything, she has her own comfort zone, of all hobbies: TV series and gossip with friends, this is very dangerous because at this rate you can begin to degrade, such a woman is capable of dragging a man “to the bottom”). Changes in society towards the role of women are wonderful, but any changes cannot happen seamlessly. Therefore, women, along with the emerging privileges, have to face a number of difficulties and problems. Often, when women advocate for equality, it turns out that what they really mean is partial equality. On the one hand, women want to have equal rights with representatives of the “stronger sex”, but in specific situations (convenient for women) they want to remain “little girls” and do not at all mind being called the “weaker sex”. The result is double standards. To prevent this from happening, when joining the ranks of feminists, think carefully about the consequences that may occur specifically for you. Weigh the pros and cons, honestly answer your questions: what will this give me, for what purpose am I doing this, what do I really want to achieve with my behavior? After answering the questions, you will see that perhaps all this is not worth it and the reason for your behavior lies elsewhere. To summarize, I would like to urge women not to go to extremes regarding their statuses. Always remember that we are women, we are multi-faceted and multi-tasking individuals, we can perform several unrelated tasks at the same time (as proof of this fact, the study of Bert Pakkenberg), we distinguish more shades of colors, we are able to experience more feelings and emotions, we remember everything little things and “important” dates, etc. Whatever happens, remember the main rule: there must be balance in everything. Therefore, the value of a modern woman lies precisely in the ability to balance between multiple roles and statuses. Skillfully and quickly get used to the desired “role”, depending on.
