The American woman is seen as a wife, and a mother. In reality not every woman wants to be married and bare children. I know women who aspire different goals and different dreams. Similar to the LGBT spectrum not being all black and white, neither is the lifestyle choices for women in America.
Around the world, women may not have choice to dream their own dreams, whether it’s legally, religiously or for other reasons. No matter where you go women are more or less considered “domesticated”.
I use this word as a joke. For example, my fiancé wants to make me breakfast I’d laugh and say “you’re so domestic today”. A few weeks ago, I had a strong urge to make cupcakes and called myself domestic.

In my opinion calling someone domestic is very different from saying they MUST be domestic. I love for people to have their choice of which way their life should go. Every human being should be able to drive the path of their own lives. That’s the definition of freedom right?
Quite literally it means:
the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.
Luckily the American government has no laws saying: Women cannot be leaders, single or without children. Unfortunately, there are groups of people who live as if that is the case. Young girls grow up believing their place in the world is restricted to the household and nothing more. Once they realize they have a desire and the freedom to become the face of a movement or to fully support herself, it may be too late.

When I was younger, I was told I could be anything I wanted and I wanted to be any and everything to do with exploratory science (ex: scuba diver, astronaut). No one told me I couldn’t fulfill these aspirations, but at the same time, I was never told how difficult the world can be for the American woman. Now, I’m fully aware of the injustice done towards minorities and want to make a way for those who haven’t observed this state of America.
America is a great place to grow up and live – especially, when one observes the injustices done overseas. I’m grateful for the opportunities given to me due to many strong women’s work and the leaders who complied. One of my many dreams for America is that ALL the citizens realize that women are more than domesticated wives and mothers.
