On "sexism."
I don't think it's an appropriate term. That implies that women belong in the kitchen and men are the sole breadwinners. Women have to shut up and all dragons are slain by men etc etc.
A while ago, I was pretty close to this one friend of mine. Offhandedly, one day she mentioned that she wouldn't mind just jumping into her role of being a housewife. Huh? She's a smart girl. She studies well, is physically active, and even runs her own business. She has all the tools to be financially independent, or just independent in general. Go be her own 'man.'... Except she's not wired that way. Her purpose in life was to live for another.
So, back to the one liner, she said she's ready to hurry up and be a housewife. I was shocked at how "conservative" this line of thinking was. Part of me felt like wow, what a lucky guy (if he's into a wife like that.) Another part went "wtf, is that all you aspire to become?" Not that a housewife isn't a noble profession! Finally, I concluded that there must be a million feminists out there who are angry with you, my friend. More Here...
