Progressivehomemaker - The Progressive Homemaker

Reno Gazette-Journal, Nevada, September 16, 1950

This is a completely valid point! Aprons are far more utilitarian than they are given credit for, and too many people see the apron as some frilly little accessory because homemakers happened to appreciate their usefulness and worth.  I wish you all the best in your apron-using endeavors!!

can we eliminate the association of aprons with housewives? i own an apron and i live in it. i'm not the stay-at-home-mom type. i'm not the one who'd look after the kids and cook and clean all day. but i made this apron myself, and whenever i'm doing anything remotely messy, i wear it. doing dishes? apron. making banana bread? apron. painting, whether watercolor or acrylic? apron. using glue for anything? apron. repotting my succulents? apron. they're so useful. it's ridiculous. my dad called me 'little suzy homemaker' yesterday. i literally do not give a shit. this is a nice shirt and i will not ruin it with cake batter, karen

This extends to people of any gender, too! Women identifying people should get to choose the course of their life without shame, men identifying people should get to choose the same (not this, oh they can choose any career because Privilege, I mean they get to be a homemaker if they want and be gnc if they want without toxic masculinity backlash), nonbinary people, agender people, genderqueer people; no matter what gender (or non-gender) you identify as, the ability to choose one’s own life should be paramount to other peoples’ opinions!

No matter your identity, do what you want to do, do what you love, and don’t let anyone tell you different! 

Making fun of girls who dream of being a wife and stay-at-home-mom actually doesn’t make you progressive or feminist or cool, it just makes you a person who shits on someone else’s dream, a.k.a an asshole

If my femininity within the context of my own life threatens you to the point that you feel the need to attack my life choices, maybe you need to reevaluate why you feel so threatened by traditional feminity. Because it’s not like I’m asking you to live the same way I do.

I’m just asking for the same freedom you want, to live in a way that makes me happy.

Happy International Womxn’s Day!

To all who identify with the feminine~

Wanting a man to provide for you doesn’t mean you’re incapable. Of course you’re capable. But it’s nice to have someone help you and take of you. That doesn’t mean you can’t do those things yourself. That just means someone loves you enough to make your life that bit easier <3

Love to see some public broadcast television defense of trans rights, especially in the sports section! This stuff gets swept under the rug by sexist coaches and toxic sports culture way too often, and it’s really nice to see someone--especially as @kuriquinn said, an old American white dude, the demographic probably least likely to put out that defense--stand up for Mack Beggs like that!

People don’t always have to understand, so long as they are understanding and supportive.
