I love being a woman, period (no pun intended; well maybe). I am giver of life, the great woman behind the great man. A Geisha saying goes, "a clever woman never lets a man know just how clever she is." Sure, we let them think they're in control... but we all know who cooks their dinner, we know who they come home to, don't we girls?
This is one of the most sexist statements I've ever read, and I've read a lot. Coming from a supposed feminist, I find that pretty ironic.
The above reminds me of my most favorite compliment that I ever received. I moved back home to help my Mother take care of my Father who was terminally ill but not too bad at the time and at the time I had worked my way from a regular employeee to a (hourly) manager at an Italian restaurant. So, one day I fixed a huge dinner for my family: baked ziti, garlic bread, and a garden salad with freshly cooked bacon instead of those silly bacon bits. By the time I had all the food prepared and on plates I had also managed to clean all the dishes (excepting those to be eaten off...). In response and in total surprise my Mother told me... I love that compliment. Note: My Mother was raised on a farm and she was the youngest of seven as were her parents. So... my grandparents were born before 1900. That has something to do with the type of wording used.
I made a mistake in my post. She was raised on a farm and is the youngest of seven, although some have passed on. The way I wrote it in my post above made it sound as if she has passed on but she is alive and well. She spends most of her time visiting with one or another of us, her children. I am the youngest of six, so that is a lot of traveling for her.
I don't really see that it has anything to do with cooking ability; and if you're not a feminist, you certainly seem to imply you are. But I would imagine that you do identify yourself as a feminist, and are just being facetious. I don't really think that the latent sexism of your statement needs to be explained.
So basically you're saying that I'm a feminist because you say so. right. Didn't your last post get deleted?
I said that you seem to be to me; the fact that you're not denying it, just trying to muddy the waters, makes me assume that you are being facetious. What post was deleted?
