Dorothy wanted more out of her marriage. It was a safe and fun loving relationship. However, with the changes in her career, Dorothy wanted to translate some of her knowledge to her home. If only to improve things, understanding her voice and power grew as more friends explained to her the virtues of being a feminist.

Initially, Albert didn’t think much of these changes. He wanted his wife to feel empowered. He wanted her to prosper and bloom. Happily, Albert supported his wife’s efforts to gain self-actualization.

However, there was a bit of a snag. The dynamics of their relationship changed more than expected. Dorothy felt better than she’d ever felt and used her social reach to help other women find their voice and power. Momentum built.

To the outside, their relationship was becoming the ideal model of modernization. Equals in all levels. But inside, something had gone wrong. A secret started to grow. Little did either know that this secret would one day surface and challenge the very gains feminism had brought to their lives.

There are a few topics that make some feel cautious. This is one of those topics. The very title itself seems to push the comfort levels of a conversation.

Fortunately, this is not one of those sites that will push the envelop to make most readers super uncomfortable. Change is real and inevitable. Might as well have a conversation about it.

Feminism Changed Our Marriage

This is a completely fictional account of two people who are facing a few adjustments. It’s the customary normal required changes as a couple gets busy with balancing life and career.

First order of business, around such a powerful word, this story is not going to fully define the word/concept. The story, told in a trilogy form, will touch lightly on the concept… and offer just a perspective for your entertainment.

In short, the site takes the perspective that all humans are created equal and just express themselves differently. Gender roles are constantly changing and responding to economic and social realities. This site supports change that is intelligent and mutually beneficial.

How one goes about reaching their ideal balance is up to the individual couples. If anyone needs help, they should seek out qualified help, not just a blog post. Of note, this blog is not offering advice through this story.

The Trilogy

The conversation between Dorothy and Albert get so heated that they decide to enlist the help of a professional to triage fact from fiction. Learning how to process their feelings, expectations, desires, and plans helped them realize that they’re not working against each other.
