Women's role in society

The Bearer - Questions Western society where women have a do it all mentality.

This performance made me question the role of women in our society and how much can one woman actually do? What are the expectations of women today? Something that interests me is the pressures placed on woman to behave in certain ways - a sort of reality versus non-reality. Not only are women balancing many things in the physical sence; also is there an unconscious balancing act taking place? Wherein outdated notions of women are embedded in the psyche and have been passed down thru generations by both sexes.

I think "Hunter gatherer" things have changed since cavemen times, roles have reversed in many instances. Life seems much more complex these days...

religion, culture, can play a big part on the role of women in society.
