first off i am not a feminist. not to say i dont believe in my sex, i just don't think i need a lable to say i am pro-female. After all i am female, how much pro can that be!!
but reading headlines like this "Italian firm's women-only job cull inflames gender controversy" makes me want to burn all my bras (although i am highly attached to them .... they are an essential part of my wardrobe.... plus they cost a pretty penny too..... hmm.... rethinking the bra burning bit now. probably burn candles instead!). Well, burn something at least!!!
this is the sort of thinking that makes any "red bloodded" female's blood boil!!! where do you come to such backward, pre-historic thinking?????!!!!!!!
and how do you get away with saying this ""We are firing the women so they can stay at home and look after the children. In any case, what they bring in is a second income."........!!!! The concern i have is not just for these poor women, the concern i have is the double standards women have to continually fight against. most women have come to the conclusion that they cannot have it a 100% both ways. you either have to give a a lot of attention to family and less to work or vice versa.... but those standards are to held up to men. and worst of all if you choose a career or job........ suddenly your not being a woman .... but a wanna be man or a b@^%£h!!
However long it takes, this thinking and behaviour needs to change. i just wonder if i will live long enough to see that.
