But then I think about the other side of things, like the hygiene, the medical field and how you couldn't even be expected to get through childbirth, the lack of rights for women, and I have to say I'd rather live now XD

Basically I just need a rich husband I think. Too bad I've already fallen for someone who isn't rich XD

I feel this entire post and I'm just gonna lazily quote it instead of repeating my own version, cos this is exactly how I feel... down to the last sentence.
