Takami Yamamoto ASA 2 A02 Week 8

In this week's reading "Mothering Is Liberation: Giving Birth to Alagaan Pedagogy (Pedagogy of Care)" by Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales, it gave a narrative of how the author felt she was unsuccessful as a mother, a wife, and a professor. She gave us a look into how difficult life can be for a woman trying to make everything right in her life but was not able to balance everything. It also showed the stress that our society has given to women. 
In Japanese culture, it is normal for women to give up their career and become a housewife to serve her husband and raise children. I think women nowadays in Japan still have very low social status than men. If you look at the powerful businessman and politicians, most of them are men. 
I think this way of thinking should be broken. Women should be able to choose what they want to do instead of following the "traditions." Similarly, men should also have the very right to choose to stay at home, do housework, and take care of children as "househusbands." And no one should judge anyone for how they choose to live their life.
Question: Do you think the Japanese "women have to serve man" thinking would ever be broken?
