A lot of women have a hard time surviving now–being told to be sexy, smart, ageless, financially secure, thin during pregnancy (or too thin during pregnancy, excellent single mothers while reviling strong men yet not respecting weak ones! Life is always a crazy mess of emotions and ideas! Whew! It’s hard to romanticize the present too. lol.
