Blog#2 Interview

I interviewed my grandmother. When she was little she was able to grow up spending lots of time with her mother because she stayed at home and took care of her children, as well as clean the house. Her father worked many hours so she did not see him much. As she grew up and got married, she played the same role as her mother. She stayed at home and took care of my mom and aunt. She liked doing that. She waited hand and foot on my grandpa. When they moved to Oklahoma she had to get a job. She was 30 when she had her first job. She told me that women should not have ever fought for equal rights because now women have to work. She enjoyed staying at home with her children. She would not have wanted it any other way.
Feminism is a fight to have women and men to be treated equal. I am conscious of my gender because of my brother-n-law. My sister is a stay at home mom and waits on her husbsand. He will be standing up closer to the refrigerator than her and ak her to fix him a glass of water, and she will. She sees noting wrong with it. I said something to him about it and he told me that in the bible it says women should obey men, and my boyfriend will have me trained. I told him we are equal regardless of race and I will not be "trained."
Women have worked far too hard in the past to have the same right as men to go to waste. If only all women could see they were as equal as men then perhaps the world would be different.
