no need for the other trappings of the era, however, I might be willing to give her a pearl necklace or 2 ....

It's apparently a very popular category for certain types of... documentaries. I myself prefer a bit of plot.

So Al and I discussed via Hangouts this morning if he would support me if I quit my job and adopted a 1950s housewife lifestyle. Here is the exchange lightly edited:

 

A: so does this involve you staying home

L: Yes

A: and you will be there when I get home

L: Yes 

A: and you cook for me every day

L: Yes

A: do you have to wear shoes

L: ...

L: Why?

A: hush woman

A: barefoot in the kitchen hm

A: make it naked in the kitchen and we have a deal

L: But things can spatter when I'm cooking, what if I get burned? What if I spill something?

A: stop ruining this fantasy

L: Can I wear an apron?

A: stop

L: But I'll need to have all the curtains closed all the time

A: offer withdrawn, back to work

 . . . thing is Mary always wears flips flops in the house and I'm barefooted.

She goes out to work (I still drive her both ways when I'm in town) and right now I work from home with plenty of conference calls in a robe. 

 

I'm not sure what decade I'm indicative of.

He has been known to drink a White Claw from time to time, but I guess that's okay because it's got alcohol in it. (?)

 

He does like to tease me with what I call his "performative masculinity" but he says it's mostly not a joke when he slaps me on the rear or subjects me to various wrestling holds. But then I don't know if him saying it's not a joke is actually a joke.

 

Basically, he's completely messed with my head but I am okay with it!

That's all that matters

As a feminist, I support a woman choosing the life path that she believes is best for her. If she has a partner, she should take his or her point of view into consideration as well.I

What does this have to do with anything?  You seem to like using the label.

 

 

“I support a woman choosing the life path that she believes is best for her.”

 

”I’m not a feminist, and I support a woman choosing the life path that she believes is best for her.”

 

See how both of the phrases declares my support for a woman’s choice, but only one tries to make a point about me?

What does what have to do with anything? You quoted me but I can't see anything in the quote? So I can't answer your question, sorry.

 

If you're going after me calling myself a feminist -- which is sort of the context I'm reading here, correct me if I'm wrong -- the reason why I mentioned it at all is that there's a popular misconception that feminists don't support women adopting "traditional" feminine roles in the home or the world or whatever. But that's simply not true, at least for post-second wave feminists (like me). It's a bit of propaganda for the feminists -- see, we're reasonable people!  Just like... non-feminists are for also supporting women choosing the life paths that are best for them.

 

Was there something I missed?

The important thing to remember is that women can have it all.

Hmmmm. I haven't found that to be true. After all, my access to my ex-husband's Netflix account has been terminated! Now I have to pay for it.   

 

Seriously, who believes that myth anymore?
