With The Advancements Women Have Made Over Time, Some Women Still Choose To Live In The Shadows

Women have indeed advanced in many ways over the course of the years. In quite a few western societies whether they are motivated by their lifestyles, the economic hardship of living or choose not to live the way their female ancestors did by being overly subservient or lacking independence, many women drive, work, exercise sexual responsibility and still manage to keep their homes in order.
Then there are some portions of the female population who still do not want to advance themselves. Some say it’s a family generational stigma while others claim it’s an environmental thing.
For advancements or not, some women are still on some kind of government assistance, have multiple children, each fathered by a different man who does not stick around long enough to assume responsibility for the kid he has helped bring into the world.
Of course stricter child support laws are helping to relieve that situation a bit, but that helps those women who have reported such matters to the right authorities. Women who have not taken such measures are the ones who are allowing themselves to suffer.
Why? One might ask. Some such women might be in abusive situations or they think their love for the man or men who have more or less left them pregnant and alone by the wayside will someday enable them to return and assume responsibility.
In the meantime while life goes on, such women have to find ways to support themselves and the kids they have brought into the world.
While that is happening, other men may come along. Some of whom will act all responsible and in love at first. But like the men before them who came along and displayed similar behaviour and left, so might they too. Why do some women tolerate such abuse?
Is it a self esteem problem? Lack of self confidence? Do they think they don’t deserve any better? Or is it a combination of all three factors? With all the advancement women have made over the years, women who choose to live as if they are still in the dark ages need to wake up and take a look around them.
They are people too. Not some door mat a few men think they can walk all over whenever they feel like it. Women who live this way need to stand up and gain control of their lives so they can emerge from the rubble of the government assistance, multiple children by different fathers type of lifestyle.
The men who are treating them this way are in control of their lives.
