If a woman decides that she wants to take care of her husband, why is that such a bad thing?
I understand that at first hearing that a woman chooses to spend her day doing her husband’s laundry and making him food seems like the exact thing our equality-focused generation should NOT be doing.
Women, especially in North America, have made enormous strides in the fight to close gender inequalities, such as breaking the glass ceiling and changing our expectations of what a woman is supposed to do in society. When we look back at the 1950s, it’s easy to see the progress we’ve made as a society to, you know, see women as intellects and citizens??
All of that is great, but there’s no denying there is still a long journey ahead of us to reach a gender-equal world. There’s still a glass ceiling, a pay gap between men and women, the same expectations about how we are supposed to look and behave, and more.
That’s why it’s so undeniably infuriating when we see a woman like Brylea Kay who is more or less saying, ‘Nah, I’m good.’
Brylea Kay, wants to take care of her husband, infuriating feminists everywhere
Firstly, let’s get one thing out of the way, we use Twitter as a platform where we can voice our opinions. Moreover, it’s a political platform in nature which is why Kay decided to share some thoughts about her ‘role’ on June 10.
Of course, it’s old-fashioned; no one denies that, but as women, shouldn’t we be allowed to have our opinions and decide what life we want? If Kay wants to take care of her husband, great, is she’s telling other girls they need to take care of their husbands, not so great.
So let me ask you the same question I asked you earlier if a woman decides that she wants to take care of her husband, why is that such a bad thing?
Nevertheless, all that matters is Twitter users think it is and they have some pretty funny reactions to it. Here’s 14:
Apparently, taking care of your husband is a cry for help
Right up there with pre-gaming a dance recital… yikes
Without doubt, this follower thinks this is about as cringeworthy as it gets.
One Twitter user can’t make any sense of why someone would CHOOSE to take care of their husband
Such a horrible role model
Additionally, this woman has been deemed a bad influence on her daughters.
Being old fashioned = No sexy time
As shown above, this response could be a little in left field.
If you take care of your husband, you’re really just a maid
Hilariously, this woman is now being compared to a maid.
Just out here, raising a full-grown man
What’s more interesting are the users comparing her to his mother.
No hobbies, just husband sitting
Of course, the inevitable ‘so do you have any hobbies, or?’ question.
Her Morning responsibilties
Undeniably, Women have turned into alarm clocks.
Blame it on their mommas?
All things considered, this 11-year-old may have more independence than this woman’s husband.
