The (early) 1950s called; they want their gender roles back
I’m very behind in lots of pop culture things, e.g. pop songs, and so I come very late to the song Cater 2 U by Destiny’s Child, which I heard tonight for the first time (new car = actually listen to non-NPR radio sometimes). So I know I’m 2 years behind in pointing this out, but good lord! Seriously? I guess you can be a survivor and also cater to your man, but
I Promise You (Promise You)
I’ll Keep Myself Up (Oh)
Remain The Same Chick (Yeah)
You Fell In Love With (Yeah)
I’ll Keep It Tight, I’ll Keep My Figure Right
I’ll Keep My Hair Fixed, Keep Rocking The Hottest Outfits
When You Come Home Late Tap Me On My Shoulder, I’ll Roll Over
Baby I Heard You, I’m Here To Serve You (I’m Lovin It, I’m Lovin It)
Um, if you come home late and I am sleeping, please do NOT tap me on the shoulder to wake me up - I have to go to work in the morning, thanks. Not that tapping me on the shoulder would work anyway; you’d have to ring the alarm.
Also, today I took my cat to the vet and they referred to her as a “geriatric kitty” (she’s 13 but still *adorable*). Is there a human formulation that’s equivalent to this? “Old girl” is the only one that comes immediately to mind, and I don’t think it means quite the same thing.
