Great job, honey. I also agree with feminism. In my country, very strong Patriarchy. I want it to stop. I want to feel safe, to live in my choice, to do what I like, and not what society dictates. I want women in my country have ceased to die as a result of domestic violence. It's very sad. Many people are suffering husbands tyrants. Because they do not have financial independence. In Russia the woman's career dies in the moment when her child is born. It needs to stop. So I'm struggling!

I was born in the USSR and my mother thinks husbands should beat their wives into submission and women should focus on childrearing and have a job but only if it doesn't interfere with raising kids. I am happy my mom doesn't make my life decisions for me. :)
Yes, the idea is firmly lodged in the minds of our society. Now I'm trying to explain to Russian women that is not correct. But many do not want to change anything in your life. They used to please men. they do not believe that it should be otherwise. Violence perceived as the norm. And the woman as servant and sexual object. But the sad fact is that women are against other women. To get the approval of men. In General, in Russia, the feminists have a lot of work.
Russia is lagging behind the world in many ways. Homosexuals, women and children are still victims of old-fashioned Soviet thinking. Which is why I am kinda grateful my mom moved us here when I was little. Israel has it's issues, but at least we have a pride parade and a law against wife-beating that is actually enforced.
