Great article and video - as a woman I had to learn the hard way why I need to put myself first (it's not that I am anti-family; I have no family at all and do not ever want one - yep I am one of those who thinks families are for other people, not me) and shackle off the socialization I was forced into as a child - putting off my needs so that someone else's can be met, be self-degrading, and other assorted bullsh*it which is extraordinarily destructive to the human psyche. As a woman in 21st century America, I feel women should learn to take care of themselves, never expect a man to take care of them (ever) and develop some sort of self-image that is positive and nurturing. I am extremely successful in my career, make good money, and do not believe in so-called traditional female social roles. My husband does all the cooking and cleaning and I bring home the bacon. We are childfree and I keep my maiden name as it is very rare. I wouldn't have it any other way.
