I Don't Want to go Off on a Feminist Rant Here....
Monday, July 21, 2008

But, fuck it. I am.

First, watch dis.

It's true, isn't it? What the hell? I consider myself to be in a fairly progressive, equitable relationship, but I do admit to doing at least 65% or 70% of the dinner making. I never really noticed the absolute shameless of the market out there for women in regards to making meals for the 'family'. Not to mention that almost all the men in these adds are portrayed being barely able to wipe their own ass, nevermind making a meal that doesn't come on on a stick or has the word "instant" in the name.

Nearly ever woman I know works, but yet we are still expected to do the majority of the domestic activities. Even when male partners do pitch in, they tent to walk around with their chests puffed out thinking they have done us some sort of favour.

Thoughts?

I have to agree. Granted, I'm home and so not working in the traditional sense, but even when I am working, the only thing that really changes is that I pay more bills. Hmm.
Another semi-related peeve of mine is the Hayley Wickenhauser (I have no idea how that's meant to be spelled...the hockey player, you know) gets to flog god damn hamburger helper where her male counterparts get Nike and Reebok endorsements. Sure, you're an olympic-gold-medal-winning athlete, but you're also just a mom / woman, so go feed your gd family.
