Chapter 12 Beyond Modernity

In chapter twelve Shalit discusses if women should be independent or dependent of someone. She pictures women’s image as they all are dependent on someone or something. She argues that women should be competitive to survive or as a self defense, and that they should not pay too much attention to what “our parents’ generation tell us” about “motherhood revolution.” In my opinion women today is more independent as a life’s choice. As a choice a woman can decide to raise her family and take care of her husband. What is problem in pursuing this life? When a woman decides to marry someone she knows what a life with kids and husband is going to be, or at least she has an idea of what is waiting for her. As a married person, I must say that the most difficult experience is to give up some of my independence or my own life priorities as I think of my wife’s and daughter’s well being. At the end I am happy because I am not alone in the world, I have a friend, partner and wife, and I also have my dream that come true: my daughter. So, I have to conclude that we are never going to have everything that we desire in life, but we should try to have what is considered a priority in order to be happy.
Another discussion is about the influence of religion on women modesty. I agree with Shalit’s idea that the society or the culture in which we are immersed plays a fundamental rule in our own beliefs and behavior as she says: “…most people have ended up letting the culture they live in dictate their choices. I suppose this isn’t an intrinsically bad thing-it just seems to be the way we are made.” In fact, our modesty is molded by our own beliefs, and our own beliefs are molded by the societal or religious group which we belong.
Regarding her discussion about cultural values, I think that cultural values can provide guidance on how we should dress up. I agree with the idea that we can be more sexy or conservative depending the way we dress. However, I believe that some religious culture uses the way to dress and virginity as a repression of sexual desire among man and woman. I don’t think that preserving virginity can contribute to a healthy relationship.

I think that our modesty is most definitely molded by our own beliefs. I think the whole discussion in the book is kind of ridiculous because its all about the individuals beliefs and customs that determines their modesty.

I agree that women today have the ability to decide whether they want to be independant or depend on a man in their life. Personally, i would like to be the one to take care of my wife and children, not the other way around. When i get married, i want my wife to feel a sense of security in our relationship and in our family's well-being.
