While I feel it, I also understand there is something that has been changing tremendously. In the early 20th century, women around the world began to taste independence in ways they never had before. With the suffragette movement gaining momentum, women were beginning to gain the right to vote and have a say in the political landscape. This newfound freedom also extended to the workplace, where women were beginning to take on jobs that were once reserved for men.
As women gained more independence, they also began to challenge traditional gender roles and societal expectations. They began to demand equal pay and access to education and fought for the right to make their own choices about their bodies and their lives.
While in the 1960s and 1970s, the feminist movement gained even more momentum, with women pushing for equal rights in all areas of society. They fought against discrimination and harassment and worked to shatter the glass ceiling in male-dominated industries.
Today, women continue to taste independence in new ways, with many holding high-powered jobs, running successful businesses, and making their voices heard in politics and beyond. While there is still much work to be done in achieving true gender equality, women have come a long way since the early days of the suffragette movement, and continue to push for progress and change.
Change is a constant, but still, the static thought of a bigger section is slowing down the process of equality in terms of freedom and equity in terms of various aspects of life. I see this is a slow and steady growth, while I live in the freedom of my choice I wish to see it all around me as well.
Some thoughts?
