What does “s” mean? “Feminism is fine, but there’s a lot to be said for having your bills paid”
Ich found this via Glenn Sacks. The Times (June 18, 2008) “Family secrets: I wish I had married for money, not
love.,” it’s a true story of a series of articles from The Times named “Family Secrets,” which are unsigned and fictitious names, and in which readers of the newspaper confess a secret.
Anyway, from what I can tell already, I can’t understand this part. What does the word “foreword” mean?
“Feminism’s fine. There’s a lot to be said for having your bills paid”
I assumed it was a biography by an anti-feminist man, just because it was. Instead I turned out that the author’s note was written by a housewife and not by a man?
Here’s the final paragraph of the article for context (short reference
only): I feel resentful, especially as it’s the men who bring in the money; and even if Bill were a head teacher, he would not come close to his own. When out with the girls I hear Susan moan about John’s business trips and I have to pinch myself from shouting that his u00a3250,000 salary must make up for some of his absences. Is Trisha on a home you inherited from your parents. While working out she’s not working. It’s about time she leaves home but does the gym? If a girl wants to start dating I’ll try to guide her towards guys who can give her the sort of life I’ve never had before. And what can I do back? Feminism is fine, but there’s a lot to be said for being paid for your bills.
We are discussing femistical ideals and, as a woman, support yourself but don’t do what you would if you married with rich man. I like them much bigger and more. I’ve had to allow him to do
most of the work for me lately. (And allow him to do all the work.) I’m difficult not to take this in a cynical way to give time to family. The writer’s rant—which starts several paragraphs before this—isn’t more about her money than her friends do, but about her having as much money as she wants.
