During my first week at Stony Brook, someone asked me if I was a feminist. I think feminism is just understanding that men and women should be equal. I feel like women have so many more responsibilities though.
If a woman and man has a kid, it's always the woman's responsibility. The guy can run off and do whatever and the woman has the responsibility. There is always talk about single moms. Where are the dads? It's very, very rare for there to be a single dad. And usually, if he is, it's not by choice but by a forced-on responsibility (like if the mom dies). For instance, a single mom is forced with raising the kids but the man can go off and do whatever. He isn't held responsible. It's hardly mentioned.
If a mom leaves her kids, there's practically an uproar. But when the dad leaves, it's like it's nothing. Women have more responsibilities--regardless of whether or not it's right.
