    You joke, but this was very real for a lot of women (not the rat poison part) not that long ago. This used to be people’s lot in life: to serve men. You were allowed to have your own ambitions, so long as they related to homemaking.

    It’s disgusting.

    The millennial generation is probably the first generation of women who are truly reaping the rewards of feminism. This doesn’t mean Millenial women don’t face some of the same challenges their grandmothers did, but rather that more doors are open. Women are scientists, politicians, welders, and the list goes on. They can truly chase their dreams, rather than have the kitchen timer go off and ruin them.

    Every mentor I’ve had that was worth a damn was a woman. I am a better man for all of their insight.
