(Berkensavisen): The tradewife debate is something I know has some distance before I decide to say something. Fear and a bit of anger come at the same time as the debate hits me hard.
Ladies, please think again!
I fear that the reason I am hurt and angry is that the image within the home is glorified and romanticized. These women have a choice, but I don't. I wanted to act, but it was difficult.
I often wondered what I would have been like if I had been alone and had to deal with all the bills and mortgages. Because I don't have a big bank account. Influencers may romanticize this life on social media, but I only get half the story from them: when things go well.
Not always downward.
Business wife
The tradewife, or traditional wife, has been trending on social media lately.
Female influencers in particular face so-called traditional gender patterns, where they live as stay-at-home housewives while their men work.
Many tradewives believe they are not sacrificing women's rights by choosing to stay at home in their marriages. Nevertheless, the event has rekindled the debate on equality.
The truth is, it always works. In the old days women went with dreams they could not realize. They were kept behind the times. Nothing can stop us now. Today's withdrawn people are maximally ineffective. Include people who can contribute a little. We must move forward, not many steps back.

We have been fighting for women's rights for many years. Are these under pressure now? Should I return to the women's kitchen counter? There may be women today who have to stay home for reasons other than mine. These should be made easy and not difficult.

For me it's still good, I was elected to the SV in Ullensvang and am able to work well as a politician. But most people work full time on the side, I don't.
Or it means: Now I'm going to publish a book, but generally it's enough to be a mother of two and politically active. If I could choose, I would have been 100 percent professionally active.
I'm a trader against my will, and I hate cooking. I have always dreamed of writing and making the world a little better. Now I work 20 percent of everything I do in politics. It's a success.
But being a reluctant trader is not a recommendation. At retirement age, life awaits with a minimum pension. Now I depend on more than Social Security because Social Security is not enough to live on. My advice to you is to go out into the working life and keep the connection there. This is so important, I need all the hands I can get.
Never forget the hundreds of thousands who are knocking on the door of working life and can contribute, and they should be included.
