Ok.. well I was speechless for a while after this video.. Had to gather myself for a while and now I just have to comment on this :-D
First of all I have to start with the "women were not educated they were stupid" comment she said. Uhm. well most women didn´t have the option to go to school in the similar fashion that guys had but that doesn't mean they were stupid back then, women knew a lot and yes back then they mostly ran the household and the man was the one who carried the cash home, secondly she talks about 1950´s and then about 1916, yes sweetheart you definitely don´t have all of the facts right.. I wonder what her educational background is?
The second part . fantasy about being a housewife.. ok all good probably suits you and there is nothing wrong whit it if that´s your ultimate goal in life. BUT I on the other hand think that women are capable of combining these things and it doesn't mean you are a feminist. Firstly I have a son, I also have a career a successful one I might add and yes, I do cook and clean too and I do make myself look pretty as well, all a matter of getting your schedule together ( I also have free time and I also spend a lot of time with my son ) and my son is clean and has clean pretty clothes on. oh and I loooooove to cook, I cook every day because I want my son and I want me too to eat home cooked food cause I don´t like the taste of the "tv" dinners and it´s not as healthy as something you cooked yourself from fresh ingredients. "can you imagine if that´s all you HAVE to do in your life, that would be exciting". What on earth would you do if you would end up being divorced and left with the kids? no job, no income, no provider, no assets ( except a good wardrobe full of short dresses ) I am proud that I am able to provide for me and my son and I don´t need to pay a lot of cash for handymen etc. and I don´t need a man just for the money.. I think a relationship is about feeling safe, having someone who you can talk to without being judged, someone to hold and kiss when you go to bed and generally someone to share your life with without the wall´s that the society forces you to put up for certain situations :-O ..........................
Third part.. the one about men being the providers.. ok let me get this straight. 1. You want to stay at home? you want to make yourself look pretty? ( sounds like money "well spent" to me :-D ) and you want the man to be the provider.. If a draw a fast conclusion from this.. you want to spend a shitload of cash and exceed the credit card limit and your husband has to pay for all of that with the money he worked his ass off for?? I would never marry or date a man because he is filthy rich, oh hell I know people like this and honestly I think those people do not have any self control or a sense of honor in them. I am proud that I am able to provide my son, I am proud that I don´t have to go around asking or smooching guys for money, I am proud that I have a good income, I am proud that I have a career and even if I would have a rich bf for example I wouldn´t still want him to be the sole provider of the family because I believe that if you are together, you work for a common goal and you work together for the money, it doesn't matter if the other one has 9 million for example versus your 3500 eur salary per month, you still work for the income, the both of you.
Oh and why on earth do you find yourself constantly paying for something for the guys? you are contradicting yourself here :-D if you would have a guy that would provide for you he would find himself constantly paying for your stuff :-D either way I think it goes both ways.. "they are always going to be like that" :-D *fell off the office chair*
Fourth point, ok now here is something we agree on, finally.. I don´t like feminism either because it doesn't work towards the fantastic goal of equality. I believe that men and women should have same right´s. For example here in Finland single dad´s are still frowned upon and dad´s who complain about women that are abusive towards their kids aren´t taken too seriously by the social services so these kids have to suffer at the hands of their mom´s instead of getting to live with their dad who wouldn´t abuse them. oh and there is a lot of stuff that aren´t equal to the sexes but still the finnish system has gotten better and I would love that there would be full equality between the sexes. I am extremely thankful to my brothers who taught me from an early age how to change tires, how to fix my bike, how to do the other stuff that many women can´t do and their men have to do it.. I can fix broken pipes ( small problems tho) etc. and I am proud of it because that means I am independent and I really am.
about the statistics .. "women are bad drivers" actually did you know that according to the 2012 European statistics the gender of the people who had the most lethal crashes was male? probably you didn´t ..
"women shouldn´t go and put Christmas light´s or shelves" uhm , why? I've done both.. many times "or pump gas" well.. what do you do if you are out of gas and you need to get some? get a dude to do it?! :-O I would love it if my man would cook for me? it´s romantic and thoughtful. Many men are actually good cooks.. oh and if you have ever read a recipe book or watched shows like Masterchef or Hell´s Kitchen or just regular shows teaching new recipes.. most of the most rewarded cooks are men.
God.. I think I am left speechless again.. please tell me it was satire?
as a side note.. I don´t understand why you have to dress up so that you are basically revealing everything.. I can be sexy with my clothes on too ......... so there, this is my weird rambling for today..
