My mother taught me to be independent. To do things for yourself. To never need anyone else besides you. Today, that's mainstream. Feminism today teaches girls that they "don't need no man," and can avoid so much trouble by just staying single, and being ok with it.

Well, I'm not. I'm not ok with it. I need my man, and that's ok too.

Girls can single-handedly run the world, I think we've established that, bleeding heart feminists. But some of us don't want to.

Some of us still want to make dinner for our husbands after work and raise babies and do everyone's laundry. There's still a place for us. We play a very important role in the world, and I hope any girl who relates with that doesn't listen to people who say she needs to stick it out in her boring financial desk job when she'd rather be a stay at home mom.

I'm in college. Pursuing a four-year nursing degree, I go to class five days a week, study every night, and my favorite part of the week is the nights I get to spend cooking dinner for my boyfriend, throwing a load of his work clothes in my washer, and making sure he's taken care of. That is as perfectly okay as a woman who spends all her time at her job and loves that. But what we as a society often forget, is that it's not only ok, but it's just as important.

Imagine if you grew up with a mom who never cooked for you, never did your laundry, never checked in with you to make sure you were ok, never spent time with you... There would be such a void in your life.

I'm not telling everyone to drop out of college and pop out a kid. No, not at all. I'm telling you to go get that degree, do whatever it is you wanna do, but make sure you do it because you want to, not because there's a stigma attached to it.

We are the next generation of moms. To have a healthy balance we need professional women, we do. But we also need women who want to stay home and raise a future generation.

Stop bashing girls who go to school, do them, and then start a family, because she counts just as much as that girl-boss CEO. I'll let you change the world, and I'll change a diaper, and we will be equals.
