What can be expressed in women's independence?

"... So, so, so, independence - the lack of subordination, dependence. In other words, independence is independence, that is, the ability to exercise one's will, to act at one's own discretion. "I mutter, jumping through the closing doors of the tram and trying to leaf through the dictionary of synonyms of the Russian language.

"M-yes, in what can be expressed female independence? What can you write in the article about women's independence? Let's try to appeal to associative thinking "

The flags of America and Britain flashed before my mental gaze, chains and pads on black legs, workers in red kerchiefs, on March 8th and for some reason Angela Davis.

"Br-rr, associations clearly disappointed, in addition, after the word" female "immediately by association stands the word" logic ". And about her already everything, alas, is written "I lament myself under my breath, bouncing on the hard tram seat. And then, probably, according to this most notorious female logic, in response to my murmur, the old woman with a large colorful package, in which something rattled, turned to me, said the next tirade:

"You are young people, you do not know a thing about women's independence. You would have a tail lift up and clubbing until late at night. Another Evon, a healthy dumpling will ride, they will drive by car, and even the last one will not work on a rag. It's all about trying to get a grudge from a mother or a father, or to get a swavo from a peasant. And at the phone itself for a thousand dollars, and the dog has more money than the people. Here in our time, the girls were modest, worked from a young age, a smart dress on a schedule from each other took, just to make it a burden for parents. I worked in the mine as a lamp-worker from the age of sixteen, worked in a hostel, the married woman already lived. Sometimes, even in the face, it descended, more than two poods of equipment was worn no worse than a peasant. "

"So, in your opinion," I asked, slightly flustered by such a picturesque verbal flow, "does female independence express itself in the ability to provide itself financially?"

"And then how. To work, not worse than a peasant, and sometimes even more. To earn so much, that the kids and the husband was enough. Independently, there is no one to ask for money. Pride must have, pride. "

"About the work I agree with you to some extent" suddenly a woman in her forties, with short, discolored hair, entered into a spontaneous discussion in a cashmere coat, "but about how to feed a parasite husband, then dismiss. I got divorced precisely because this idler and the house did not hit a finger on my finger, and quit my job. For whole days he did not part with his four-legged friend-sofa, fell asleep and woke up with the TV remote control ... "The blond woman wrinkled her face with disgust.

"And for you, what is the expression of women's independence?" I quickly inserted, trying to turn off the conversation from lazy people, parasites, parasites and other males like them.

"I think it's obvious," replied the stiff-eyed blonde with dignity, "I, for example, have been raising my daughter for twelve years alone, myself providing her and myself. Independence for a woman should be expressed in order to do without a man, when he becomes useless, like a suitcase without a handle "

"Clear. Thank you very much! "I concluded the discussion and, waving a little to the confused passengers, jumped off the sideboard ...

"Mom, do you think?" I asked, leaning against the doorframe of the kitchen door, "to be an independent woman means to be a pseudo-male, to have the same rights with a man or can the ability to live without a man at all?"

"Well, all that you said is the simplest interpretation of this concept." Mom smiled, standing at the stove, "To be a woman you have to be not an anti-male and not a pseudo-man, you just have to be yourself, and not someone else. What for to the woman absolutely equal rights with the man, after all if you want equal rights receive also equal duties - for example, to serve in army or to be at war. Man and woman are created different, they do not need to equate themselves with each other to exist in harmony. Independence, both women and men, is a free will in order to live as you want. Free will to change the world around and yourself when you want it. Your will, which God created as free as the wind. Now help me to set the table, or soon the pope will come. "
