this article

Ironically I was just googling 'Feminism' and the name of the town I'm moving to in a few weeks because I was inspired by a thread on here to think about joining a feminist group. Coincidentally a couple I know from uni live in the next street and they've just popped up as the first couple featured in this article.

I think I'm going to faint........

I am in the process of emailing him (who I know better than her) to ask if it's all true. My hunch is that a lot of it's exaggerated but that he doesn't really mind it being said. He's a bit of a charmer and very personable, but I've always known that there's a highly unreconstructed male underneath that exterior.

Feel very sorry for her........

Ah but Fanny does he bake a decent cupcake ?

Er... I don't understand what's wrong with what they're saying? Are you talking about Jon and Rebecca? Haven't been on this thread much so is there just a general view on here that there is a problem with housewives? Confused

Surely I win the price for the ultimate status symbol- a SAH husband.

Those women aren't going to be smiling in 20 years when their husbands run off with a younger model and they're left homeless and pennyless.

And LOL at "Occasionally, I miss the buzz of the trading floor and seeing a deal through. But these days I get as much of a thrill over Madison learning a new ballet step". Her DD is 22 months FFS!

No adult should be proud of not knowing how the washing machine works.

Ibet they've been massively misquoted and are cringing about how they have been portrayed.

I think I'm going to throw up. Grin

you have to remember the so-called quotes may be totally made up - as in the example here

would be interesting to ask your acquaintances if this is a true reflection of what they actually said....
