Married woman - will you let her party?

I was reading SH's latest post on a married woman who went disco and got herself drunk. Well since it's not a long post I'll just quote it here:

Recently there was this case of a man being killed while staying at his in-laws' place in Malaysia during Chinese New Year. What caught my interest is not the murder itself.

The wife is a mother of 2 (one 15 years old, the other 13), she left her kids at home and went to disco, got herself drunk, blah blah blah. Now, do you think a woman of her position should go disco? (getting drunk is another thing) Do you think it's like 不守妇道? Then you would say it's the equality of the genders, so if a father can have night life, so can the mother.

I don't know how to explain my stand, but somehow I just find it not right.

Don't know why but I feel quite indignant about what he said. Why should a woman give up something she enjoy or a way of relaxing just because she's married and have kids? Is a woman who parties necessarily a bad person? A slut? An unworthy mother? Maybe that's her way of relaxing, right? So what if you're a mother? If you teach your kids right but you enjoy partying, does that make you a bad mother and a horrible wife? I feel like it's akin to telling her that now because she's married, she cannot speak to any other guys unless absolutely necessary. I feel like it's binding a woman and taking away her rights and I'm really angry and upset at that. It might be quite irrational to feel this way, especially since SH didn't exactly state all that I've said, but I just kind of felt this way. More upset than pissed. It is also times like these that I wonder if women will ever stand up there with men, with our own rights to do what we want without others viewing us as sluts. Do we have to be traditional, viewing the men as kings, not dress up after having kids, not look into the eyes of other men? Is it that he can drink but we can't, he can stay out late but we can't? Why do we have to let men rule our lives? I hate men who tries to constrain women.

Ok, emotions aside. I think that a woman, married or not, is perfectly entitled to enjoy life how she wants it. However, she must always think of the children. It's the same with men, married or not. If you want to party, then don't end up in somebody else's bed or return home drunk, puking all over and letting your children see you in your sorry state.

There are a lot of things to question in the above stated "woman who got drunk issue", a lot of things to argue, a lot of "what-ifs" but if you read carefully, that's not the point in this post.

Feel free to comment.
