Equality Now Blog II Thesis

Husbands should be helpful, in fact they should do all the parenting and housework. This was the dream of a generation of women ( Gen X), according to author Jessica Francis Krane. In her article Equality now. Today’s men do it all. Where does that leave the women? I don’t think in general terms, fathers do it all now, nor did mothers do it all in the past. She thinks other women leave their careers to be full time parents because they can’t get rid of the fantasy women should be the primary care giver. She might be right there is nothing biologically that says women are better parents than men. I think it’s just a matter of opinion. She wants to be the independent mother who’s husband does everything, but on the other hand she doesn’t like the comments her daughter and mother in law make that leave her feeling guilty. She will have you feeling sorry for her, but I think she has things just the way she wants or she would change them.
