Such a sumptuous production and it really showcases Christine Baranski’s comedic timing but wow! how boring these women lives must have been.
The horror of learning the Brooklyn bridge was finished with a woman, Emily Roebling, as the supervising engineer is also astonishing, but it'd be interesting to see how if a women was the supervising engineer for such a bridge today would be received. Although at the time Roebling wasn’t the only woman doing extraordinary things. There was also Clara Barton was starting the Red Cross and I am sure many others.
A lady’s maid is angry after she tries to seduce a man who refuses her, her response is the height of misogyny. Instead of attacking the man who refused her, she goes after his wife. I know I’ve been told by women that they can’t be a misogynist because they are women. But women are apart of the audience that is society and while men learn misogyny, so do women.
And as I’ve said on this blog before, men will never ever say they are sexist, and getting anyone to admit to either sexism or misogyny is impossible. No one is sexist or in anyway a misogynist, yet here we are.
I think we are living through the perfect example of misogyny at the moment especially in the USA with the reversal of roe v wade.
It is the perfect proof women serve only 1 purpose, reproduction. It is their only useful function because men think they can do everything else. And this is seen if a woman has an ectopic pregnancy in Texas then it's medical system will not help her as punishment and if she dies, oh well. And before you say the chance of having an ectopic pregnancy is so small, why worry? It’s 2%, and if you think that’s small, that is 2 in 100 pregnancies. [The main problem is uninformed politicians creating laws they know nothing about. Damn republicans.]
But that is because these old men who are using status quo creep as I called it in my previous blog entry. While some of these men say we need more children, which I think stems from the problems the US military experienced during the Iraq invasion, the army wants recruits with little education, language is the only exception, aka English, is enough, and if they die it really doesn’t matter, indeed it saves the republicans money.
Banning abortion has always been about building armies.
Mainly old men think women’s work is absolutely worthless because men pay nothing for it, or at least decide it’s worthless because nice marriageable women do it for free. The work of making a home, raising kids, and all the sundry jobs of managing a home is just done by a woman and thus is worthless because it’s done for “free”.
But how quickly do people forget the lessons of Nicolae Ceaușescu.
Who forgot that raising human beings was really about taking on apprenticeships? Producing homosapien mammals is easy, ban abortion. But turning those homosapien mammals into human beings is an apprenticeship. Each individual learns how to be one from whoever apprentices them. When a baby first opens it’s eyes, assuming it can see, is that it learns to understand what it sees. Then the baby learns to talk out of necessity. Crying is kinda frustrating because the apprentices’ master/mistress has to figure out what the cry means every single time.
No doubt it is during this time a baby learns it’s value, learns how to love, learns how important it is in the eyes of others, and how can it learn to be ‘normal’ when it is not treated like a normal human being.
I know there have been many parenting styles advocated by various men such as John Watson and the awful theory of behaviorism and treating babies as if they were robots. And I wonder if this resulted in the plague of serial murderers during the 60s?
Raising, or rather apprenticing a child is fundamental to our society, because the next generation will eventually run our society.
I don’t know if males or females are better at apprenticing humans after birth, but in my experience women are much better at systems than men. When it comes to systems men should just go home. Whereas women absolutely rock systems. A home is a system and men just are hopeless at managing the system that makes a home. Often men pretend it’s beneath them to do women’s work but I think the reality is men are just pretty bad at it. And thus women are much better at writing software. Again men should just go home. Software has become truly bug ridden since they forced women out. Imagine if Apollo 11 had to shutdown and reboot in the middle of a lunar landing like every other app does now.
The problems with systems is that multiple things must be achieved simultaneously. Like being in the kitchen waiting for food to cook might allow time to empty the dishwasher and put dirty dishes in. Time to wipe benches and then putting tools away. Food prep may allow time to inventory food in the kitchen for the next shopping expedition. Doing the laundry gives mental time to prepare a list of meals for next week, and folding laundry may inventory detergent, how everyone in the household is coping with their lives… And in such a short time a meal has been prepared, the dishwasher unloaded, and reloaded, laundry and psychoanalysis done. Vacuuming and washing floors may allow mental time to plan more tasks, inspect and care for items in the household.
Far too difficult for the average man, mind bogglingly easy and incredibly boring for the average woman.
A male friend suggested a woman surrounded by men must be very frightening, because they are so much bigger, on average, than she is. Yes. Especially is the men are all well acquainted with each other like a sports team.
But if not it might work to her advantage because men are unlikely to rape a woman in the presence of strangers, even male strangers.
And in the case of Rolling Stone magazine, did they seriously think men who know each other would admit they raped the woman?
But more importantly if a woman is to manage half the population of the world, surely she must have more intelligence to do so, even if it’s something as nebulous as ‘emotional intelligence’ or it might be she will use her possible smallness to illicit the protective nature of some men. But men are raised all over the place. Some are taught to respect all women, some learn to treat everyone with equal disdain and do whatever they want because they were never given boundaries. Yes, I know not all men, but I think I said that already in this paragraph and last month’s blog entry.
Do men know women manage them? I don’t know and perhaps some women don't know they are doing it and dont do it well.
I do think Peggy Scott was very lucky to meet with the Baranski character, this was a time when the concepts of eugenics was very common even amongst the upper classes in New York, although they do portray the racism she very likely experienced very often, realistically and hopefully less often today.
And of all the women portrayed in the show, Scott, who was based on real people of the time, and the servant women probably have the most interesting lives. Yet when Miss Brooks takes a job teaching it is frowned upon and vehemently discouraged by her aunt.
My husband calls this show the gilded cage.
