The housewife stereotype has long since shattered - it's all about leaning in, breaking the glass ceiling, closing the wage gap and more.
Strong Woman Syndrome?. Top Story - March 2018.
Last week, Monday February 26, I was diagnosed with Strong Woman Syndrome. My face remained expressionless and then I blinked my eyes as I stared in to the eyes of my diagnoser. I thought to myself, "Is that even a real thing? I have to Google that and see what that is exactly." And then I smugly thought to myself, "I’ll take that as a compliment.” I hope he didn’t mistake me blinking my eyes as batting my eyelashes, eww.

Sexism: Not Just a Boy's Club
You've made it to the second interview, assured that this is nothing more than a preliminary meet and greet with your new administration. You feel confident, celebratory, and ready to get through this last step and get back to work. Two minutes into this interview, you realize that this person sitting in front of you decided before you even walked into the room that you were not going be hired. Your experience and education far surpasses hers and you are well-liked by everyone else who has met you in this office—this may have injured you, but your gender, well, that was the kill shot.

Everything Wrong with the Statement, "God Told Me You're Supposed to Be My Wife"
Going to school to be a preacher is quite the experience. Going into my fourth year marks me a senior. Since my first days of my freshman year till my dog days as a junior, there's one situation that never gets old. I never stop seeing it or hearing about it. A theology major creeps out an individual by dropping potentially the most theologically damaging, spiritually confusing, and controversial line in the realm of romance, "God told me that you were going to be my wife."

A Housewife
While growing up anyone asked me what my mother did it was an easy answer, "Nothing, she is a housewife." It never occurred to me then she wanted to be more than just that, and it is a sacrifice someone chooses to be the caretaker of the family. I thought the role of a housewife is to cook which could be done in one hour and sleep any time of the day. I dreamt of becoming one someday. Despite my mother's best efforts of telling me how important it is to have a job and be independent, my mind was made up—I want to become a housewife.

Friday, November 10 marks the Equal Pay Day in the UK, which means that from now on, all women in the UK will work effectively for free for the rest of 2017. That sounds awful. And it's also really bad that currently the pay gap, based on hourly earning, is at 9.1 percent. (1)
