Women have to get married to live. They give birth to children, raise them, and support their husbands. That is the role of women, and their happiness. Is that really so? Isn't that an undoubtedly convenient "preconception" imposed upon us? We women are merely accessories who live for men to have a better life.

Those days are now in the past. Awareness and awareness of "gender" has increased. However, not everything is over. Even now, many people think of housework and childcare as "women's work" in their married lives. This is because their own mothers take on those roles, and in a household where this is a daily occurrence, the "role of women" is inevitably imprinted on them. "Gender" is still deeply ingrained in us.

What is the background to a society that demands "feminine power" and "nurturing men"? Aren't we viewing the social changes that should be happening now as "the abandonment of the role that women should play" or "volunteering as compassionate men"? How should we face this from now on?
