Hollywood propaganda
Guys! Have you ever thought about how Hollywood portrays a hardworking, stressed, unbathed, unshowered, unsupported woman alone in her marriage with a man that only financially contributes, and she is basically a married single woman (mother) in its movies as a common reality?
For the last 20 years that I have been alive and consuming media, this one stereotypical mother’s struggle has been shown over and over again as a reality, which I know it is for a lot of women. And while I know this is a painful reality for many women, the way it is repeatedly depicted often feels less like awareness and more like a bleak warning against marriage and motherhood itself.
It has always been so scary to me, and it is shown over and over again in a completely off-putting, foreshadowing, hopeless manner. There’s something deeply unsettling about how normalized this image has become in film and television, as though exhaustion, loneliness, and emotional abandonment are inevitable parts of being a wife and mother.
So many women around me, young women my age, 18 to 22, hate the idea of having kids and the sacrifice of carrying the child, then delivering, then the care and upbringing. I suspect the way it is portrayed. It must be some kind of propaganda, as we now know that 🧃 they’re against families and they’re against women having kids, and they have succeeded, especially in the West, where women have more rights over their bodies, and among many young women in my vicinity.
Not only have they made us hate women that choose to have children , they have made it natural for us to hate children, and the simple kindness and care that were once extended normally by the general public to pregnant women or young moms is now a foreign concept.
What are your views about this?
