Caucasus men have at least five reasons to love feminism
Reason 1. As befits, socio-economic
… A feminist wife will never scrounge off you, saying: because-you-are-a man! She realizes that you are a human being too. Given the current economic situation, one won’t be able to drag the whole home economy alone, unless, of course, one isn’t a business tycoon or kind of a super star. Loading oneself with everything is equal to opening a gateway to a heart attack or apoplexy, always hanging around somewhere near. No! A feminist wife is a true friend that one can always lean on.
She will undergo retraining and will re-build her career; will go for status downgrading and find a job where money’s dripping. Just a piece of advice: Never hang on her shoulder! After all, she has never hung around your neck, has she? Even if a wife is unaware she is a feminist or even denies that – do love feminism anyway, since it’s your friend and helper! It’s feminism, that has given her education and power. What will one have to sacrifice? Avoid using a phrase ‘what I say goes!’ An equal partner never likes it for some reason…
Reason 2. Political
A feminist wife, a fellow party member or an activity friend won’t just sit and wait until you get all issues done and finally kill each other. She will not content herself with a role of a secretary, signature collector or a courier. Though, in practice, those non-status friends write proclamations and meeting agendas for you. If a party has its platform (are there many of them, who can produce it?) – be sure, it has been written by female fellow party members. Unknown and modest. But they have not been familiar with feminism. Feminists –true feminists – will ask you to move aside a little bit in the electoral lists. Make room at the panel meetings and at the negotiation tables. Don’t worry! At least you will be beaten less and practically not shot off. After all, the same processes will be observed in other parties. Where there are women – a critical mass of them, sufficient for changes – there is more pragmatism and less rough stuff.
In turn, you will have to part with a strange belief that politics ‘is not a woman’s business’ and is ‘a dirty game.’ Actually you – the men, are those, who make it dirty. It’s like being in the kitchen. It’s getting more neat there if a woman is involved.
