ahhhh.. women...

Women before were more subdued and laid back, during the 50's to the 70's women would stay at home and men would go to work. Men are the heads of their respective households and women would just follow. But women these days are more aggressive and cunning to use the smarts over men.

The Corral and Love in the Cornhusks shows that women were not that empowered just yet. They were made to choose lives they did not want because of the trend during their times. In "the Corral" Pilar had two men to choose from, the man she really loves but she mistreated and Mr. Perfecto, the school principal which shows stability and security for her life even though she is stable on her own. Love in the Cornhusks is a story about a love lost or a love she could have taken but she already has a husband, a kid, a another kid coming. A story of regret for a decision she could have just made before.

Some choices in life may be so difficult to make, and sometimes those choices are what we don't really like. Although through these choices may it be right or wrong we just have to make do with what we have a enrich it to the fullest extent.

yep.. so damn right papi!!! women today are sometimes, even more aggressive than men. malaki na ang ipinagbago ng mga kababaihan ngayon. siguro nga, it's their time to be free, to do whatever they want. di na yung tipong nakakulong sila sa mga bahay nila para pagsilbihan lang ang mga kabiyak nila, but there are still women who choose to be a housewife, maybe because its their beliefs, but often times, it's their decision na rin...

i agree that women now a days are now stronger, and i think way stronger than men because they work they cook and takes care of their children. i think some men can't do that work.
