The first episode of our new series Skirt the Issue starring Jacqui Rossi is here! Watch below (1min36sec) :
You know at first I was just gonna get annoyed that they think this is ‘different standards of beauty’ but then I just got flummoxed because the game artists were so desperate for that female human to have a thigh gap they literally gave her rICKETS?!?!
in films there’s always a “cool dad” and a “nagging mum” and what this actually shows is a man getting to have fun with his children and a woman lumbered with the sole responsibility of being an actual fucking decent parent who is then demonised for it
This has actually been observed by social scientists though…
“Among married mothers who were employed full time in 2005 to 2009, 72.1 percent said that on an average day they cared for and helped their children, spending an average of 1.22 hours on that task. Dads were more hands-off; full-time employed fathers spent 52 minutes caring for kids, on average, and only 55.1 percent did so on the average day.
On average, men spend one third as much time on housework as women, with men spending around 16 minutes per day on it, while women spend around 52 minutes. Furthermore, far more women do housework—nearly 83 percent say they do on an average day, versus 65 percent of men.
And though marriage often comes with a division of labor, the brunt of the work in married households with children is still falling upon women. The data for these couples covers the timeframe of 2005 to 2009, and shows that married men with kids who worked full time spent around 14 minutes a day on housework, compared to 51 minutes for married moms who also worked full time.”
At this point, the courts have so many double standards, I’m surprised irony hasn’t covered itself in honey, with a sign that says “Eat Me. This is ironic, but in an ironical-type,” and left the hungry, post-modernist bears to wait for them.
