...women in society today?

Just finished watching Mona Lisa Smile, I'm a bit behind the latest movie releases, I know. What struck me as fascinating though was that I'm still struggling with similar bullshit situations that those girls and women did 50 years ago. Am I really using my education to the fullest? Am I not wasting the few braincells that heavy partying doing my university years have left me with by simply setting up house? Do I have the right to be content washing my man's laundry despite of my degree? Have we as a society really evolved past the point of sexual discrimination? Can you honestly say that there's no man or woman in your circle of acquaintances or family who doesn't smirk at the way you choose to live your life? Without even big guns like religion coming into it, being single and in your 30s is still something of a stigma, isn't it? Well, only if you let them make it that, I suppose. Keeping up with the Joneses, trees and their apples, throwing stones in glass houses - we as a society will never stop judging others, and we may as well get used to it. Our grannies and our mothers fought for us to have a choice, and here's lil ol' me too confused by what's on offer to make up my mind what it is I really want.
