But as it turns out, the fruits of my labor \u2014 going on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hundreds-of-minneapolis-police-officers-left-after-getting-slammed-now-city-spending-millions-for-new-recruits\/\" title=\"Hundreds Of Minneapolis Police Officers Left After Getting Slammed. Now City Spending Millions For New Recruits.\">national television<\/a>, meeting high-ranking elected officials, and breaking important news \u2014 while fulfilling to a degree, simply do not satiate my growing appetite for the one thing I can\u2019t do independently: have a family.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout my college years, female students were encouraged to develop a sense of hyper-independence. <em>Get your degree. Enter the workforce. Rise to the top. You don\u2019t need a man<\/em>!<\/p>\n<p>I would often hear from my lefty female professors that men are misogynists, women belong in the workforce just as much as any man, and having a family means battling a husband for an equal partnership in which you, the wife, can still have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/heidi-klum-reacts-to-daughter-following-in-her-footsteps-as-a-model\/\" title=\"Heidi Klum's daughter follows her modeling path, and she reacts.\">full-time career<\/a> in exchange for another woman raising the kids.<\/p>\n<p>To be frank, the mentality imposed on my peers and me was to \u201cbe a boss b-tch.\u201d We could have it all, we were told. And if we couldn\u2019t find a man content with having a full-time working wife, then we simply didn\u2019t need a man. Apparently, women could live their lives alone and thrive on spending nine-plus hours in an office daily before going home to their multiple cats and cheap reality television shows. <\/p>\n<p>But we were duped by unhappy women and crunchy, emasculated men.<\/p>\n<p>While I didn\u2019t totally drink the Kool-Aid, I did begin to believe it was important \u2014 and necessary \u2014 to be well-established in my career before I could do anything else.<\/p>\n<p>I faltered when I prioritized my career over everything else, including developing relationships that could lead to marriage and a family. I\u2019ve become increasingly aware \u2014 and frankly upset \u2014 that I neglected to cultivate other avenues in my life in exchange for the ability to say, \u201cI\u2019m a working woman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some might call me a misogynist, but this is no anti-woman screed. Being a woman is awesome. <em>But women don\u2019t have to be just like men to find value and fulfillment.<\/em> We have unique natural qualities, skills, instincts, and more \u2014 not to mention the incredible ability to cultivate the next generation with our own bodies. Talk about being a boss \u2014 we can do things men can only dream of!<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t misunderstand. I love the field I\u2019m in, and I\u2019m blessed and grateful beyond belief for all the opportunities my hard work has afforded me \u2014 including working at The Federalist, where women are celebrated and accepted for, well, being women! For many of my colleagues, and hopefully me someday, that means being wives and caring mothers while also being able to pursue our shared passion for the truth and this great country.<\/p>\n<p>Butker\u2019s remarks were not meant to discourage women from pursuing their passions but rather to remind them that women are innately special beings. We serve a purpose men cannot. We can bring life into the world and foster a loving environment like no other. We shouldn\u2019t sacrifice our purpose in exchange for fleeting validation from a career.<\/p>\n<p>Take it from someone who did that.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Brianna Lyman is an elections correspondent at The Federalist.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker faces backlash for advocating the value of the title &#8220;homemaker&#8221; during a 2023 commencement address.
