the power of the women

In chinese traditional teaching the younger should respect the elder so mothers and grandmothers have more power than their daughters and granddaughters in the family. I don't think that too much emphysis in career rather than family is not very proper for a woman coz she may lose a happy family life later on. I think woman should not be masculine otherwise she might lose her natural duty of being faminine.

I don't think that todays women are powerfull. May be they are agressive,short tempered.

We certainly do have more power and say in how matters go. Its not 100% positive in my views though. From a young age, my father taught me to be independent, he taught me how to fix things like the lawn mower and chain saw etc, so that when I was older I could do it myself. He must have known what was going to happen. Women now cant get any assistance when they need it from a man, when I used to drive trucks, if one of the tyres blew, I would have every guy I worked with stop and watch, not one of them would help, they'd just comment on how women wanted rights well now they have it. I never asked them for help, but they always asked me to help when a motor needed fixing. As for marriage, all my female friends complain they cant find a man to marry, all the male friends say women are too independent they want someone to be old fashioned. Maybe things arent for the best, but I do like my independence.
