Won't be everyone's beer this thread but just wanted to highlight this bint's Sky interview and the typical drivel that is spouted.. https://news.sky.com/story/paloma-faith-men-couldnt-cope-with-motherhood-theyd-drop-dead-11523162 The piece I took offence too was :- "As a relatively new mum I feel like since having a child I have become much more efficient and much more organised and felt much more powerful and capable of achieving anything. Because it's so challenging to be a mother. I think part of that has been underestimated culturally. "If it had been spoken about more by women - because we have a duty to ourselves and to our fellow women to speak about these things - then I think the world would be run by more women… because if a man had to do it they'd drop dead, I swear. It's bloody exhausting. It's actually unfathomable how women have done it for that long." Well you flummaric dope, I raised my daughter from one day old, her mother was falling apart, expressed the milk for baby and did the 24/7 routine as well as look after her mum. It took nearly a year to get some sort of help and support and by that time my little girl was was as healthy and looked after probably better than most. I weaned her, set the standard of routine for her life and have been through every emotion in life as a father/mother figure. I have given up my career, my life and my freedom to make sure that my little girl was always close to her mum. Her mum has been bed bound for the last 4 years but she will always be the shining light in both mine and my daughters life.. 9 years, one battle with cancer and another now and I'm still going strong.. Really piss me off these egotistic/attitude snowflake women but you know what.............. I wid..
Well said , I can’t begin to imagine how difficult it has been / continues to be for you . I would just add that imho. , this particular woman , is talking from another world !
Cheers bud, lovely to see her at nearly 9 now, such a bright little girl and a great help for me with her mum.. I say never give up, do as much as you can before you go and make sure you leave your love in a beautiful way..
I get that she’s trying to promote feminism, a good thing, empower women, a good thing. However by doing this by making naive, demeaning and wildly incorrect statements really isn’t the right way of doing it and only alienates her to people who might support her cause if she’d taken time out to think about what she was saying. There’s been plenty of men like Joe (fair play to you) who have brought up their kids for many a reason be that not being an option some parents choosing that the father was best person in the circumstances to be the primary carer. Yes in my kids life their mum stopped working and did more than me in the first couple of years, but I worked full time and still did loads when I got home. Silly comments Paloma
Another female 'celebrity' with a bubba who thinks she's doing something different and extraordinary compared to what women have been doing since day dot and therefore needs to share with the rest of us We all know mothers who work their socks off and raise their kids at the same time...I really don't believe that we are unaware of the graft that goes into it
Another media ****. Always celebrities in their comfortable existences telling everyone else how to live their lives. **** off!
I'd watched this clip a few times ages ago the come across the full special on Netflix the other week... ****ing brilliant! Worth a watch...
No, that's misandry not feminism. Feminism hasn't changed... Paloma Faith isn't a feminist she's a misandrist, a number of women who call themselves femisits are really misandrists instead but the dictionary definition of feminism hasn't changed and there are a lot of true feminists out there. I consider myself one, I believe both sexes should be equal. That said I'm also against a lot of rules and regulations that promote women by tearing men down. I think in many cases there is well-intentioned laws that are in truth discriminatory against men.
