Freaking a. I have seen so many sexist things today that I have to rant about at least one of them because I'm about to want to throw myself off a building and that's like 25% joking.
Women DO NOT need to be the traditional female role for relationships with men to work.
Men DO NOT need to be the traditional male role for relationships with women to work.
REPEAT AFTER ME.
TRADITIONAL GENDER ROLES DO NOT FIT EVERYONE AND EVERY COUPLE.
Some chick on facebook who goes to the church I am like maybe like 5% affiliated with now posted some article saying how Kirsten Dunst's view that men should be men and women should be women in relationships is refreshing. refRESHING. After thousands and thousands of years of patriarchy and gender roles, somehow conforming to what feels like the timeless norm is refreshing. What. Like I'm sorry, but that is the stupidest thing I have heard. I respect women who chose to be stay-at-home moms and fill the traditional role by knowledgeable choice, but to state that, that's what it takes for things to work is entirely ignorant and insults diversity in and of itself. Sometimes I wonder if I nailed myself to a cross and suffered a painful death while speaking of how horrible gender roles are, maybe just maybe people would be less ignorant. Influencing tons of generations of people to be more accepting and open minded..that would be worth dying for.
