Female liberation is a concept that is seen as a ray of hope by many women who do not have financial security in the society. It is also a notion that controls many working women today. However, before jumping on the bandwagon I genuinely inquired whether we really know what we are asking for. While fighting for financial freedom may have managed to alleviate the economic position of women in the society, I ask everyone: has this struggle for financial independence not done more harm than good for our world? Have we not stifled a woman’s basic nurturing hormone? Do I endorse economic equality between men and women? Yes. Do I endorse it if it means that women have to neglect their homes as a by-product? No. That does, in no way, mean I am saying that men are superior to women. What I do think, however, is that women and men are anatomically and psychologically different from each other and no form of emancipation can free us from this incongruity. The mental and physical distinctions between the two genders make men more apt for the role of the breadwinners while women are better suited to the role of being the home-maker. Female emancipation has led to many working women mistakenly believing that setting themselves free from this inherent role within society will give them a better purpose in life. And that fostering their careers, at the expense of the wellbeing of their homes, will bring them closer to this purpose. On the contrary, I ask such women how can any purpose be achieved by denying the men their masculinity and denying the women their femininity? As opposed to what some of you may be quick to assume, I am not against working women. In fact I do a nine-to-five job myself and I am supportive of women being able to stand on their own two feet. What I am against, however, is how many women today are so eager to prioritise their careers over any other role they are accountable for in the society. This desire, of gaining financial freedom, in many married-working-women is often driven by a need to create one’s own identity. However, then I ask: is marriage not about sharing each other’s identity? Is being financially dependent on a man really a threat to a woman’s own existence? Or is it just her carelessly mistaking her own existence to be that easy to whittle away? It is also cardinal to note that such misdirected financial liberation is one of the many factors that have depreciated the level of coexistence between men and women in society. I do not, in any way, think that men are angels and women are solely responsible for the high divorce rates. What I am saying is that economic liberty has made many women today dread the classy institution of marriage and deprived them of the joy of motherhood, only because they are more concerned about their career. Getting married has become akin to losing financial independence and having a child is an obstacle in the path of their career growth. What many working women fail to see is how their desire to be exonerated from homely responsibilities has only made them slaves to their careers and the corporate world. And that is why I would love to see the emancipation of women from such kind of financial autonomy.
