Came across this story while looking up pictures for my newest ROK article.

There's a horrible culture that criticises women all the time. It has to stop

Meet Myleene Klass:





A self-described "strident feminist," she underwent the terrible indignity of a divorce in which she stands to lose money.

Check out this long quote at the end of the article:

Quote:

The treatment of women in public debate could have implications for young girls as they grow up, such as her daughters, Ava, five, and Hero, two, she said. “It will be very difficult to be a girl growing up in their generation,” she said. “They’re going to come from the generation of women that has it all. So they’re going to be the ones to decide where it all goes and was that the right thing. Or actually should they take a step back and re-evaluate?”

The split has left her as “mum and dad”, but she quickly adds that many others who cannot afford to employ the support she does are in a trickier situation.

She said: “I’m absolutely not a tiger mum. Of course, I want them to be the best they can be. What’s the point otherwise in surrounding them with strong female role models?”

Partly thanks to an opportune decision to wear a white bikini on the reality show I’m a Celebrity.... Get Me Out of Here, which led to her modelling for Marks & Spencer, Klass has found a second source of fame as a fashion designer – for Littlewoods and Mothercare.

Klass handles her clothing lines herself, jetting around the world for business meetings. On top of that, she presents two weekend shows for Classic FM and is contracted to the news network CNN.

“How do I fit it in? I always say that if I was going to create a new business I’d hire single working mums because I’d know that not only would it run smoothly and efficiently, we’d all be done by teatime because everyone has to get home to do the bath and bed.”

Surrounding your daughters with strong women, women who apparently have a difficult time being critiqued as public figures? Strong women, indeed.

The end is just perfect, as Klass critiques women critiquing other women but insists that employing single, working women will function smoothly and efficiently.

Women seem to have this idealized view of how they interact with one another. Further, like in this article, they blast how women treat one another...only to conclude that women working together will only result in good things happening.

Is this how big of a bubble modern Western women operate in?
