8 Sexist Things Single women in their 20s are tired of listening
We blame women for making decisions or voicing an opinion because gender inequality is so deeply rooted in our culture. The following is a list of stereotypes 20 year olds are tired of hearing:
Our twenties are both exciting and terrifying. Everything seems to happen at the same time. This is a period of experimentation and new encounters. But every time a woman tries to make it big with her, the subject of marriage and the idea of ”settle down” pulls her back. When do you expect to get married? However, you will eventually have to settle down, correct? Your degrees don’t matter since you have to get married at some point now that you’ve graduated. Numerous family members have pressured the parents and guardians of young girls to get married as soon as they reach their early twenties.
8 SEKIST THINGS WOMEN NEED TO HEAR:
-
Your biological clock is ticking
-
You can do whatever you want after marriage
-
You can study even after you get married
-
If it’s NOT NOW, you’ll never get married
-
We have your sister next
-
This is the right age to have babies
-
Career can wait, but marriage can’t
-
Learn to cook to serve your husband and in-laws
Over time, the ideal woman has been portrayed as the one who can cook, take care of children, maintain the stability of the household, and who has no right or freedom to make decisions. No matter how successful you are in finding a partner, having children should be at the top of your priority list. You will be labeled as a selfish or self-centered lady if by chance you decide to prioritize your profession over your marriage.
We wonder why there is such strong social pressure on women to get married. It’s frightening how getting a husband is still a requirement for a woman’s success, no matter how hard she worked to make a living or how well educated she was.
Such comments are far too common, and we lose patience with stereotype for stereotype.
