My son and son in law do all the cooking in their hetero relationships.
Thank god I'm a real man.

Whatever happened to the girl nextdoor?

She's moved out and gone to Uni to get a science degree.

Yeah rich, you like the little woman to have your tea slapped on the table smartish as soon as you come in from a hard days f**king about doing the best part of sod all.

Chief hunter gatherer in your house and you can't even bring something back from the butchers in one piece!

When you think about giving girls labels, like Daddy's little princess, think about the opposites for a moment.
What do these labels conjure up in your mind - positive or negative images?

Mummy's little helper - applied to a boy
Mummy's boy
Mummy's little prince

I was listening to a radio programme about tom boys, which got me thinking. There are tom boys and princesses. Are there any other types of girl? What do you call those very studious girls for instance, like Daria, who grow up to be scientists.

Lisa Simpson.

Whatever happened to the girl nextdoor?

All I know is that after living next door to me for 24 years she disappeared in a limo.

Many descriptions that have a male and female version are these days often dropping the female one.
e.g. many females who appear on stage/in film are referred to as actors rather than actresses

One that has definitley gone out is 'authoress'

And 'geekette' has a diminuitive connotation as well as a feminine one.
It's like referring to women as 'girls' - it is derogatory in most usage.

"When I get called a poetess, it makes me feel like a terroristess"
Adrienne Rich, from memory

I don't see them that way. I imagine them as sweet, little girls who want to help their mothers, and who see domestic science skills as useful in life.

Women are 'cooks', men have to be 'chefs', wear funny hats and swear a lot.

There are lots of irregular adjectives...

Ironically, the vid is being used to advertise hair products....

I do dick about, it's true but I also do all the cooking. I may enter Masterchef - my lentil soup would be a smash hit.
Did I ever tell you about the time my beautiful female Italian tutor told me I had a feminine side?

Wasn't Doris Day the archetypal girl-next-door?
