Modern women: Do they really know what they want? – Part 4

Of course the modern woman knows what she wants. She wants it all!

Modern women want love, they want power, they want respect. Yet at the same time they want independence, solitude and the ability to be who they choose. The modern woman longs for individuality as she clamors to follow the latest trends. She wants a career, fast car, nice clothes and what ever else the latest glossy is preaching about.

Most of all she wants to do as she pleases

Over the past 20 years the concept of love, sex, marriage and fidelity has changed dramatically. Apparently marriage or finding a life partner, is no longer the most important issue on a young woman’s mind. Nor is procreating a family at the top of the ‘to-do list’ for her male counterparts.

Young people now appear uncertain as to what true love is. With the escalating rate of divorce and poor parental examples are questioning whether love and marriage are really worth the trouble.

Society has become full of strong successful women claiming partnerships are not worth the time, effort or hassle. Women of the nineties and beyond are signing off from men in a way that has never been seen before.

What type of role models are really being portrayed to young females these days?

The media is full of women who are portrayed as the “modern woman” with the vast majority of these living loveless lives where the male species is nothing more than a burden or sex toy. Power, money, sex, prestige and other once male dominated realms are now being inundated with a female presence.

On the one hand the likes of radical feminists tell women to go out and live a life of true independence. That self-fulling love is the only love you ever need. Despite this, who would deny the comfort that can be found, curled up in the strong secure arms of a loving person.

The conflicts in arguments can be seen everywhere. First it was wrong as a woman, to have the door opened for you. Even though this chivalrous gesture has been a symbol of fine breeding and good manners for centuries. Now it appears to be turning full cycle as the cries of women everywhere screech out to doors no longer held open for them.

At the same time this new “modern woman” still gets excited when the door is held open for her, or when she is given right of way (based purely on her looks or gender). She still expects to have advantages handed out to her based on the fact she is of the underprivileged sex.

Modern women want equality.
