Funcionarios inyectan su paga extra a sanidad

Si hace unos días de boca de la mismísima vicepresidenta anunciaba que ''España vive uno de los momentos más difíciles y traumáticos de nuestra historia reciente'' ahora los empleados públicos se han echo oír.

Como recoge algún comentario ''ahora la sanidad si funciona'' y los funcionarios han conseguido alegrar la Navidad a muchos enfermos.

In Handmaid's Tale, the environment has basically gone to shit and the women have to pay for it. How, you ask? Well, they become baby-making machines. Yes, women have always had that special talent, but this time it's against their will. In many countries, that is a woman's primary duty. In the U.S, it's a choice.We know that gender exists, but how long until it becomes a memory?

"I'm not lesbian, but i'm dating a woman." Wait, What? Yes, that's right. Jesica Tenaglia, 24, believes that she fell for her partner because of her personality, not because of her gender. "I saw past the fact that she was a female. I think a lot of people are starting to do that. Because so many lines are blurred now, I really don't know how to act differently with a male. I dont love her because she's a female, I love her because of the way she loves me. No guy has treated me like she has. I think people just want to be loved. If she were a male, I would feel the same way. People in our generation are starting to get that." If the future of our country starts to embrace this way of thinking, what exactly does that mean? Will gender all together cease to exist?

Many schools have begun to include gay/lebian couples in their story books to teach children that they have a choice of sexuality. Being so taboo only 50 years ago, there really is no telling just what changes may come with such a radical society.

Independent. It's something women love to claim they are. Women are growing in the world with higher numbers of executive and management level positions. It hasn't always been this way, and it was hardly expected to happen. Men have always been seen as the bread-winners and hard workers while women were seen as only the nurturing figure at home. Currently, many households across the United States have the higher income coming from the female in the home. As this used to be a reason for concern, it is now a badge of honor that not many women brag about.

    Because positions are endlessly attainable to women, the definition of how a woman should 'act' or 'live' has gone quite blurry and, well, astray. From models to CEO's, women are in the workforce with questionable or applause-worthy titles. Since women are able to work at their own will, roles in the home have changed.

Working is no longer exclusively for men. For women, it has become a 'second' role, depending on how you look at it. Yes, women go to work and make executive decisions, but that doesn't mean they don't still cook and clean. Matter of fact, this is still expected at home for most couples.

So have the roles really changed all that much? For women, the role has expanded. More responsibilities to take on is one way of looking at it.Taking weight off the male and sharing it with his female counterpart is another way of seeing it. Whatever way you choose to see it, a shift has taken place in gender relations, and it will probably continue to shift.

GENDER RELATIONS

The world is always in motion, especially when it comes to gender relations. But just how are roles defined and what does it mean for the future?

My grandmother Carolyn Sue Hunt

By: Dalton Hunt

My Grandmother Carolyn Sue Hunt

       My grandmother lived with her mom, and dad in Waco, Texas. She went to Robinson, and graduated from Robinson. She stayed in Robinson with her family. Then later on in life she met her husband, and then had a kid. When I was born I came into their family, and started to get to know them.

     When my grandmother was just a little kid she loved playing with her dolls all the time, and she carried one big one with her all the time. She always carried it to town when she went to town with her mom, and dad. One day she was walking with her mom, and she got tired of carrying that one big doll that she loved so much. Then she said to her mom “mom can you please carry this for me?”, and her mom always would say “yes I will, but I will not carry it again!!”  Well every time she toke it to town with them and she would ask her mom to carry it, and she was only carrying it for about an hour then she got tired of it.

      One day before they left the house her mom told her “you can bring the doll but I am not carrying it” Well she brought knowing that she would not want to carry it, but she toke it anyways and like always she didn’t want to carry it. Well she didn’t want to carry it so she asked her mom if she would carry it. Well she got mad and told her “now I told you that I will not carry the doll again!!!”

       Well like always she toke it again and carried it, and then when they got back home she was told “you will not bring it to town again” Well she never brought it again, and so she brought a smaller doll this time, but surprisingly she carried it all the time and didn’t, so she got to keep bringing that one small to town!!!
