Very short story, almost a journey entry where a women is ranting about how she would like a wife of her own.

Amazing passive voice in the 70’s expressing today’s “feminist” voice. If you are doubting please go read.

I have arranged my takeaway thoughts into a haiku:

"It's never more clear
You're valued for your function
Than when male friends rant."

These read made me feel more mindful on how people may still view women in todays society. Although gender equality has improved, we still need a lot more acceptance and feminine representation is some aspect of our society.

Manifiesto feminista que nunca está adelantado a su época –lastimosamente. Me recuerda a Annie Ernaux cuando dijo "ser mi propia madre de mí, cuidándome de mi propio rechazo", pero en éste caso, también me gustaría ser mi propia esposa de mí.

“My God, who wouldn’t want a wife?”
I think everyone should read this essay.

The underlying irony really helps bring the whole point across in a wonderful manner and underlines the sex differences that there were (and still are).

"My god, who wouldn't want a wife?"
I hate men and I hate men.
