Dear Dr. Sohail,
 
 I agree with the three basic groups of Female Creative Personalities you
 mentioned.  I am not a great fan of "labeling" someone as to fit into one group or another, but sometimes it is inevitable. Usually once one  is placed or associated with a certain group, then they are  inadvertently forced to live up to the rules that apply for that given  group, and it is usually very difficult to break free from.
 
 I also agree with your comment as regards to the creative choices being
 more difficult for women compared to men, and the role that tradition
 and communities play in the sacrifices in this choices.
 
 I find this a very complex subject. To apply this personally, I am the
 product and victim of tradition. On one side I feel there needs to be a
 sense or practice of tradition. Yet on the other hand, many forms of
 tradition or out dated and lack practicality for today's life style. So
 for me, it comes down to the question of what forms or practices of
 traditions do we keep, and what forms or practices needs to be
 abolished, and who has the right to make these choices if any.
 
 Some want to make the argument that this comes down to an individual
 decision. But they fail to comprehend that it is collected individuals
 that make up our society. For me, some of the same ones who voice that
 it comes down to an individual decision, are some of the same ones who
 want to voice a strong opinion when someone makes an individual choice.
 Applying this to our discussion, if a woman chooses to be a "stay at
 home mom", then some view her as not wanting to work or be a productive
 member of society. Yet, if this same woman goes to work, then she is
 neglecting her family obligations of rearing responsible and productive
 members of society. I don't see many cases where men face this type
 scrutinizing of tradition vs. modern thinking.
 
 For me, I think what ever choices a woman makes whether abiding by
 tradition or breaking free from tradition, she should never let it
 stifle her creative ability. I look at it this way. We usually do not
 marvel at a rose bud, but we marvel at the rose when it opens to expose
 its full beauty. The same applies for a woman.
