Mood: giggly, 534 Views |  | Better yet, I'm trying to find a quote that Sir Hillary Clinton (smile...) made (I believe during her husband's campaign) that upset housewives across the country. It was something along the lines of disrespecting housewives and implied a bit that she was better than them because she furthered her own career.
Can someone help me find this quote and a source?
Oh yes. That would be this:
"You know, I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was to fulfill my profession, which I entered before my husband was in public life. "
Psssh! She stated that she wasn't sitting at home baking cookies?? I believe it was in the same 60 Minutes interview wherein she trashed Gennifer Flowers, despite having had private investigators already confirm the affair between Gennifer and Bill and having already offered a payoff ot Gennifer to ~go away~. It was also the same interview wherein Hillary claimed not to be some Tammy Wynette who stands by her man. Argh! LOL!
HaHa, I had forgotten the Tammy Wynette thing for awhile now. Turns out that's EXACTLY what Sir Hillary is....in the backgoround of Bill's forground ...and forever will be...*sigh*
We now know pretty much everything Hillary said in that interview wasn't true, but was rather meant to get Bill in the White House.
Gee, cookie-baking is fun, isn't it? (smile)
<~~~Picking wiff Hillary here...sorry I had to go there. (smile)
[EDIT above post..(smile)]
~~~~>Sir Hillary Rodham Clinton's Reaction to Monica Lewinsky scandal
Dick Morris and Eileen McGann said that Sir Hillary Clinton "loudly defended Bill... and arranged for attacks on Monica Lewinsky... when she knew the complete and sordid truth."
Loll...what a cookie baker that Hillary is...!!
OK, Ok...it's out of my system, alright?

Well....
This here will be a long blog..*smf*
'By defining relationships between men and women in terms of power and competition instead of reciprocity and cooperation, the movement tore apart the most basic and fragile contract in human society, the unit from which all other social institutions draw their strength.' --Ruth Wisse, Professor of Comparative Literature at Harvard U.
This can be interpreted literally in terms of family dynamics:
"...of which ALL other social institutions draw their strength..."
It means that family, as it was in the past, does not matter today in our post-industrialized society of occupationalism.
Traditionally, the family had meant the utilization of those skills that have been one of the main factors to create a subjective identity in the world. Today we hear about the crumbling of family structure and family values and wonder... is this due to the post-industrialization of people who now ~instinctively~ think that the career path is much more important than the family?? People seem to have no inclination as to what will remain after the work ethic and family life is taken away. In fact, what used to be a strong interdependence on male/female relation within the family unit can now be interpreted as nothing more than struggles for power and competition..erroneously interpreted in terms of reciprocity and cooperation IF you do as I say and not as I do: it is without compromise.
In essence, the movement (interpreted as the feminist movement) has indeed "tore apart he most basic and fragile contract in human society, the unit from which all other social institutions draw their strength"... the family unit...by selfishly decreasing their investments into the workings of family. The movement neglects the structure of family moreover, thus increases production of human capital at the family's expense. Women involved are no longer interested in family, the raising of children in the home, being the 'helpmate' of their husbands. their sole interest becomes not he family unit, but in their own span of income as dependant largely upon educational and occupational choices made in the form of a career. Knowledge and skill, thus, become less focused on the building of family and family values and more focused on occupation specifics along with increasing age. This leads to a situation where there remains no real or tangilbe family values overall.
The psychological costs of the feminist movement in the sense of family are seen to be greater for the children involved than others, as there is no stability or cohesion therein for a better role model (dysfunctional family units).
**The family location... is analysed in relation to the native places of women and men and ... that women are coming against a glass ceiling in terms of career ...
Sorry Johnny. But my thoughts exactly. *smf* |
