Gender roles were created based off of biological needs. Women birth the child, women stay home with the baby. Men are physically stronger, men protect and provide. My gosh, it’s so simple yet this generation loves to complicate things. You don’t have to vigorously follow these roles to perfection either. Of course some gender roles are ridiculous, but the core of it makes a lot of sense. Gender roles aren’t just about the individual, they help the child as well. To me, these roles are about sacrifice, and submission to nature. Everything that the ego isn’t.
If this were a cinematic moment, there would be a scene where the wind blows the weathervane round to signify a huge change in direction. Do you feel it, too? Ever since February (well, for me Imbolc, but for some friends a bit later on) it feels as if the huge ‘stuckness’ of 2018 was unclogged.Whoosh! And that whoosh! is the wind shifting the weathervane round.
