Kaley Cuoco denounces feminism; loves "feeling like a housewife."

"The Big Bang Theory's" Kaley Cuoco was recently asked if she considers herself a feminist. She answered that with a resounding 'no.'
This all started when magazine "Redbook" asked her if she was a feminist.
This was Cuoco's answer:
"Is it bad if I say no? It's not really something I think about. Things are different now, and I know a lot of the work that paved the way for women happened before I was around... I was never that feminist girl demanding equality, but maybe that's because I've never really faced inequality."
She states that she also likes to serve her husband, tennis pro Ryan Sweeting. Cuoco likes feeling like a housewife and she loves to cook for her man.

"I cook for Ryan five nights a week: It makes me feel like a housewife; I love that. I know it sounds old-fashioned, but I like the idea of women taking care of their men. I'm so in control of my work that I like coming home and serving him. My mom was like that, so I think it kind of rubbed off."

 
Hmmm....

My Two Cents:

*sigh*
The one thing that really gets on my nerves is when Hollywood actors have these preconceived notions that wanting equality between the sexes (and calling oneself a feminist) is a bad thing.
People see feminists as being anti-men. Feminists are NOT anti-men. We love men just fine. We women just want to be seen as equal in the eyes of the law.
Cuoco said that she doesn't see herself as being feminist because she never faced inequality. If she did her homework on what women still face nowadays, she would change her mind. We are still paid 77 cents to a man's dollar. I do not see that as being equal to men.

My first experience with inequality happened about 6 years ago. I found out that a man was being paid a lot more than I was (and I had more experience than this guy). I found it to be incredibly unfair. It wasn't until I took a women's studies course when I learned why I was dealing with this injustice in the workforce. Ever since then, I have been extremely verbal about my feminist views.
As far as wanting to "serve your spouse," there is nothing wwrong with wanting to take care of your partner, but you shouldn't feel as if it is your duty to serve them. You have to want to take care of them. It's perfectly fine to take care of your partner, and I admire Cuoco for taking care of her husband, but relationships and marriages are a partnership. Relationships should be an equal partnership with both individuals putting in the same amount of work.
I do what I can to take care of my boyfriend. I clean, cook, and do little things for him (when I'm not confined to the couch due to pain). When I'm not doing well, he takes care of me. We take care of each other.

She may have never faced inequality personally, but she knows at least half a dozen women who probably have. If she wants to enjoy being a housewife, that's totally okay. I have no beef with that. I just have beef with the fact that she is mouthing off about something she knows nothing about. I sincerely hope she reads up on feminism, and what women have done to pave the way for women today.

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

We as viewers followed Chef Ramsay as he ventured from restaurant to restaurant trying to save the failing businesses and repair broken relationships. The series aired for 7 seasons before ending in 2014. Since Gordon Ramsay ended 'Kitchen Nightmares,' many fans wonder which restaurants have stood the test of time, and which ones did not. As of right now, the restaurant closure rate stands at a shocking 69%. The restaurants that are still in operation stands at 31%. Most of the restaurants featured earlier in the series have since closed.
