I understand where anonymous is coming from, where women struggle and are supposed to stay at home and be a housewife rather than just working and being successful. I don’t necessarily feel like I can relate to anonymous right now at the moment, but I do believe I will in the following future. I know someday when I get married, I’ll finally feel what anonymous felt because being a wife, a mother who is striving to work and provide money for her family is very hard. And who knows, ill probably marry a man who will god forbid force me into leaving my job, I know this has happened to many people I know including family relatives.
It saddens me how bad a man’s ego can be, where they always want to be the dominant successful one. One of my closest friends was becoming a gynecologist, she married a man who owns a deli. She told me how her husband was forcing her to leave her job as a doctor and stay at home and become a housewife. Her husband was so jealous to the point he did not want people seeing how successful she was over him, he felt embarrassed and ended up divorcing her. It’s so weird because I never experience what anonymous felt, but at the same time I feel like I do, its an ongoing problem in my culture so I can relate to other many girls in my community that went through a similar struggle prior to anonymous journey.
