A story posted by The New York Post Monday
tells the tale of Katrina Holte, a Hillsboro woman who quit her job to cosplay
a 1950s housewife.
Let me start by expressing
admiration to Holte for using her 2019 freedoms to follow her 1950s dreams.
Everyone should be so lucky as to get to decide what they wear and how they
spend their time. That's the future our foremothers fought for.
But as much fun as I am sure
she is having living a vintage (复古的) life, which literally includes
watching shows like "I Love Lucy" and listening to vinyl recordings (刻录碟片), I think it's important to remember that being a 1950s housewife
was actually totally awful, and something our grandmothers and mothers fought
against.
For example, once I called my
grandma and asked her for her recipe for Cloud Biscuits, these delicious
biscuits she used to make that we would cover with butter and homemade
raspberry jam on Thanksgiving.
"Why would you want
that?" she said. "Go to the store. Go to the freezer section. Buy
some pre-made biscuits and put them in the oven."
She straight-up refused to give
me the recipe, because it was hard and took a long time to make. In her mind,
it was a waste of time.
Getting off the phone, it
occurred to me that spending every day of your life serving a husband and five
children wasn't fun at all. And then there are the grandchildren who eventually
come along demanding Cloud Biscuits, a whole new expanded set of people to
feed.
She was basically a slave to
those hungry mouths, cooking scratch meals three times a day.
When she wasn't trapped in the
kitchen, she had to keep the house clean, make sure she looked good enough to
be socially acceptable, and make sure her kids and husband looked good enough
to be socially acceptable. And she had no days off.
I know my grandma loves her
kids and her grandkids, her husband and the life she led, but man, it must have
been a lot of thankless, mindless labor.
No wonder everyone went all-in
on processed foods when they came around. Imagine the nice break something like
a microwave dinner would give a woman working, unpaid, for her family every
single day?
I also had another grandma. She
was a scholar who helped found the Center for the Study of Women in Society at
University of Oregon. She was a pioneering second-wave feminist who wrote
books, gave lectures and traveled the world.
But, she did all of that after
divorcing my grandpa, when most of her kids were out of the house. Back then,
in the 1950s and the 1960s, there was no illusion about women "having it
all". How could that even possibly happen? If you were taking care of a
family, waiting on your husband, you had no time to follow your dreams, unless
you made that your dream.
A lot of women took that
approach. We call it Stockholm Syndrome now.
And of course, these women I am
talking about are upper-middle-class white women. Romanticizing the 1950s is
especially disgusting when you think about how women of color and poor women
were treated back then, and the lack of education and choices available to
them.
Because the women in this
country demanded something approaching equality, Holte has the chance to live
out her fantasy. Not every woman in America is so lucky.
We still don't have pay
equality and in many states, we still don't have autonomy over our own bodies.
Poor women and women of color still lack the opportunities of their wealthy and
white peers.
And while it's getting better,
women are still expected to be responsible for the emotional labor of running a
household and raising the children.
But at least we can get jobs.
At least we don't have to sew our own clothes, wear a full face of makeup every
day and spend hours making Cloud Biscuits some ungrateful kid will wolf down,
barely remembering to say thank you.
