Are you allowed to detract yourself from
the sociological, patriarchal values of modern day? I find it difficult as a modern woman to do so; I don't want to get married, I don't want to have children, I don't want to get a house and settle down. My friends that are in that headspace; well good for you. I'm happy for you, it just doesn't work for me. When my dad died I decided that enough was enough. I wasn't going to follow ideological and social pressures. I decided that I am going to live my life for my dad, who didn't do enough living himself. God bless him. He worked his life to support a family and felt terribly stressed all of the time. Personally, I think that contributed to him dying, but I'm not a medical professional. Holistic all the way.
I am going to travel around the entire world, I am going to have fun whilst doing it. I am not going to listen to people's opinions about what I should be doing ( those opinions which are wholeheartedly indoctrinated by society). I am going to intensely discover who I want to be. I don't see why there should be a time limit on that. I'm 25, I've seen a lot of the world, I've done what I want to do and I've had a fine time doing it. I don't want to listen to a doctrine, or political and sociological ideas that try to stifle my creative travelling liberation. I don't want people to ask me why I haven't got a career. I don't want people to ask me why I don't have a boyfriend and I definitely don't want people to ask me why I'm not married. This all may be 'I' in the first person, however it should be 'we' as a people. The people that agree.
I watched a very interesting Louis Theroux documentary about prison life. Prisoners are habitualised into their prison life, stuck in a microcosm of same sex society, just probably a bit more ruthless than life in Congleton! The same feelings go though for me, same as a criminal stuck behind bars. Society is ruthless, prison is a microcosm of that in a strange way. Are we institutionalised as a people? Yes. Are we indoctrinated as a people? Yes. Are we trapped within a patriarchal society controlled by a ruthless government- yes (very 1984). We're are as trapped by opinions and judgements as prisoners, but we're used to it, so nobody challenges it. (Challenge it!)
I don't think that people understand how repressed we are as a people. We've grown, since the 1900's obviously but why is there so much pressure to do well? Why is there so much pressure to have a career? When in history has this been the case? If you could provide for your family then why are you looked down on for working in a bar, supermarket, Mcdonalds. Why can't we just do what we want to do and not be questioned? I'm happy, why aren't you judgemental people? Please stop commenting on my life.
