I do consider myself a feminist. not radical or activist, but a women with a sense for the feminist cause.
I don't support role clichés and I don't like the inequality that still exists between men and women, and so on and so forth...
Yesterday, I got a vacuum cleaner for my birthday. I asked for one, so it's not the typical "I-give-that-woman-a-household-device-for-her-birthday" kind of thing. BUT...the whole evening I was crazily happy about having a new vac-cleaner and finally being able to throw the old one out. I became my great grandmother's grandmom! I put the whole thing together like a child builds a house with LEGO and was happy as a clam when the thing worked and acutally sucked in the dirt instead of spreading it throughout the apartment, like my old and broken one does. I felt horribly like a TV ad of the 40ies or 50ies.
Then I figured, feminists have to clean too!

LMAO! Yes...even feminists have to clean or at least we hope they do! As long as McC doesn't make you wear a little maid outfit and spiked heels...well...unless you're into that kind of role playing than...go right ahead! ;)
Glad your vacuum sucks!
nah, not really. I'm trying to stay as far away as possible from cleaning appliances ;)
The difference is that is was your choice to get a vacuum, not your destiny. Ha ha.
I'm totally supportive of the French Maid thing, by the way. I wouldn't mind having one. :)
I'm not so sure our wooden floor would like my high heels so much, so I guess I'll have to do a rain check on the french maid thing...sorry, honey!
don't apologise, I never said that was my thing!
