I live in the U.S.A., and women have the same rights and freedoms as men. We can wear whatever we want, go whatever we want to go, go to whatever college or university we choose, and choose our career. All without a man's permission.

These things may cost a lot of money, so most husbands and wives both have jobs in order to afford to live comfortably. Many moms can't stay home with the children even if they want to, because it often takes two incomes to live.

I can't imagine needing to have a man to give me permission to travel, or having to cover my whole body and hair to go out in public. I enjoy my freedom, but am willing to give my husband the final word on major decisions. However, every couple has to decide how to handle major decisions within their own marriage.
