I think perhaps your personal experiences make you particularly sensitive, and you are hearing only criticism. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with traditional women's roles. I am saying that if the idea of being a doctor makes a man an attractive mate, or the idea of having power is attractive then why limit yourself to a peripherary position instead of taking it? I think the being a mommy or a nurse is an exceptionally lofty goal, and I'd be proud to have my sons or daughters aspire to either. I'd feel I'd done something wrong if they aspired to being models. But that is a personal bias. I'd also be disapointed if my children male or female were attracted to power, but too lazy, manipulative or not sufficiently self confident enough to try to achieve their own, but instead used sex to acquire it second hand.
