Women's Rise

By: Greg Modzelewski

As we move into the future, there is a louder calling by women for women to be equal to men in every way, including the workplace. This is obviously contrary to the more traditional "stay at home mom" persona that people had been so accustomed to. I was reading an article in TIME magazine that actually had me thinking about this subject. The article raised my eyebrows at points. It said that women to men ratio in the workplace is going to be even within a few years. It also had shown how children and men are affected by this, such as there are more "stay at home dads", and moms are "bringing home the beacon".

So when i stopped to think about it i was left confused. On one hand i feel like women have every right to do, and be, anything they want. It's the woman's right. But on the other hand if the father and the mother are both working, what about the children. I feel like people try to blame things such as tv and video games as the reason there's a disconnect with even our own children, but we don't stop to think that it could possibly be the fact that hard working families (one with both parents working full time jobs) might never see their parents.

My personal experience with this is with my mother going to college because she decided she wanted to do something with her life, which i respect her tremendously for. However, since she graduated and got her job, she hasn't really been in the picture. There has definitely been a falling out.

So this just leaves me wondering how their could be tight knit family without there being at least a single parent watching over the children?
