Frances Ong (“First a wife, then a career woman”, July 5, 2005, TODAY) believes in tradition. Comparing the divorce rate, she observed that people from the past are less likely to end their marriage as compared to modern women. One reason she identified is the fact that women, being financially independent, are less likely to be willing to work at a marriage when problems arise. Wanting equal rights and having the backing of the law, women now see obedience to their husbands as subservience. They are no longer willing to submit to their husbands willingly but see submission as subservience instead. The writer, using her life story, explained how serious the problem can get. She also showed that the “obsolete” values of her grandfather may not be as obsolete as it seems.

I agree with the writer that women should focus on being a wife. The priority of a woman should always be her family. Looking back into the past, women have always submitted to their husband willingly. Stories from the older generation tell of how women are willing to follow their husband, even till death. Many women, including my grandmother, kept her vow to ‘belong’ to her husband, even though they have many opportunities to find a new partner after my grandfather passed away. Few marriages from that generation ended up in separation. They held onto each other firmly and walked through the journey of life together, the wife in submission and the husband with responsibility. The wife’s only concern is her family and marriages with that kind of mentality last.

Comparing with the past, women now no longer give that much attention on the family life. They demand as much, if not more rights and privileges, as men. Society is giving women more reasons to ask for these rights. Pubs and bars offer ladies nights. Banks offer women’s cards. All these, giving women more choices, draw the women away from their duties in the family. They now desire authority and glory. They now want the masculine role to be fairly shared. They now want to be equal to men. With these wants, they had already forsaken the female’s primary role, to take charge of the family.

There is a Chinese saying “Men are in charge of the exterior and women, the interior”. There are predefined roles for both men and women and I feel that they should keep to their own duties. Some traditions will never be obsolete.
