I came across something very interesting in my studies at Boise State University. I was reading a book called, “Leadership in Nonprofit Organizations.” One of the authors in the book pointed out that researchers argue among themselves about the behavior of women. Many researches claim that when given the same set of circumstances, both men and women will behave and operate in similar ways. After reading a little farther I came across a very interesting statement. Younger women, whose way was paved by feminists in their mothers’ generation, tend to behave more like men.” This hit me like a ton of bricks. Not only have I been forced into a situation many women find themselves in today, so had my ex.
Too many women today are left high-and-dry by their partners to care for a child on their own. But these women take this cross they were called to bear and do it gladly cause of the love they have for that child. I married a young girl and that girl was shaped by independence and the call of feminism. Such a subtle call that influences too many people in the wrong ways. I support the good in feminism. I do not support those who hold feminism as a banner; calling women to stand for their rights and put off responsibility if they must, so they can get the freedom from oppression they so rightfully deserve.
I have been thrust into the roll many women are placed in and just like any man who loves their child; I have done just like any woman in the same circumstances would do. I gave up the life I wanted and have chosen to care for my little girl. I have made some changes, but all that means is I have had to make a slight modification to my dreams. One day though, I will stand on top of my dreams as a winner. It is only going to take a little more time now than I had originally intended.
