What do great home makers do?






The modernity project has changed lot of things for us. It has changed us how we view us. On the name of freedom and liberty, It has made us into tiny vehicles that fuel capitalism and the modern economics. The idea that women must be part of labor force was propagated by liberal economist to propagate capitalism and enhance productivity of the elite.

Our societies - in Eastern part and specially the Islamic ones were not open to this idea 200 years ago. Most philosophers were against the political schooling of women because they thought it would disturb the social equilibrium specially in the family dynamics.

I'm not saying women shouldn't work, it is just a choice and it should not be idolized at the cost of ignoring the domestic chores. 

Men and women are different, woman make home and men build empires.. That's why many women find this transition quite difficult in terms of managing career or starting a family. 

The idea is not to confine women in the shadow of walls, the idea is she does that job better than any man. Motherhood is in her instincts. Nurturing is in her instinct. She is all about presentation, sphostication and mindfulness. She can engage with kids for years. What does a absent mother from home and away from kids mean? - Kids spend first seven years under the shadow of someone else... Grand parents or nanies... And it's absurd idea that she can deal with family and office with same engagement, foccus and attention... She has limited energy, attention span and time.

The responsibility of parenting lies on both parents, I can argue for the sake of argument that men can work kitchen and make home but that's not how they are designed. They are genetically gifted with social and political sense, from evolutionary point of view they are bread winners. 

The 21st century is the most volatile century for women. They want to work, do politics, want to go to space and do great things... But they will suffer because they won't be traditional home makers as their mothers were and their families will suffer for that. Numerous cases in Pakistan points out to increase in divorce rates, separation, violence and not a happy families... Simply because man isn't used to give women independence they aspire like European women and its a cultural shock for traditional religious men.

Women must understand that working outside office is as sacred as working for the family and kids. You're bringing up kids who will bring the change and the biases of men can only be removed by mother teaching his son certain ideology and thoughts on how to view females in society.
