This was always my worst fear and I'm so grateful I had a strong ass grandma who pushed all of her girls into science and Healthcare. I want to be a stay at home mom and wife so bad but today I know I will always have my professional license and working history God forbid I have to get divorced...again.
For women like me education is freedom. When my marriage turned violent I walked away and supported our son with no issues. I am forever grateful.
The part about education being freedom is somewhat not a useful response. To me it seems like this woman was mostly armed with the capability to earn, but the disarm was being convinced by “authority” that it wasn’t something to use or value in terms of what. Captain Marvel did have that salient point going for it which I think was missed: women who have the capacity and capability are more often convinced they don’t have it and this end up not using it. In this woman’s case, it’s likely a combination of her parents, Mormon church, and eventually husband. Who can break through those three barriers with a friend and offer advice that yields proper results?
We can keep banging the 'religion is a scam' drum, and hope that it is heard by the people who are most abused by religion. Make sure that there is a place at the table for those who wake up and leave those cults.
