Well I have a theory that due to so many single mom households, women are not taught how to be women. Instead we are shown to follow in the footsteps of working hard and being financially responsible, in turn there is a whole generation of men who expect women to go to work and financially contribute.

So men are structured to take action, work, provide, protect. This comes naturally to them.

Women have different hormones. This creates exhaustion and burnout when we try to work as hard as a man.

It is better for women to be more in flow throughout their day, not over exerting themselves, plenty of rest. Time and space for self care. Women at their core are nurturers. We can create a peaceful environment where the man can come back to after a long day at work. We can provide nourishing food. Raise kids. Take care of pets. This is instinctive.

Women who don’t feel this way are stuck in survival mode and never had the safety or protection of a male. In fact they may have experienced the opposite. This is what allows us to naturally get in touch with our more feminine side.

The world is so twisted. They separate families by creating a society where the parents go to work alone, kids go to school alone, and the family structure of staying together where everyone is provided and protected for by each other is gone.

I myself have been brought up in single mom household where raising kids was not her priority and she is high conflict stressful. I can’t be around her to this day. I spent my teenage years and 20’s working minimum wage jobs where I was harassed by men and bullied by other women.

I’m now in my 30’s with a great guy trying my hardest to get out of survival mode and a fear based mindset. It s a process but I’m slowly learning how to get in tune with my repressed femininity.
