Courtney Dunkel In The Boston Globe, Massachusetts, November 10, 1950

This was going to be the year that I started trying to make more friends too, as well as looking for potential partners, because ideally my plan was to have a kid in the next couple years after I get my BSW, and there are, ahem, preceding things that need to happen for that. Looks like those plans got cancelled for this semester, and I only hope this all blows over by the fall semester for that reason. I don’t want to be the girl who’s pushing marriage and kids a few months into dating someone!

Share your petty gripes about how the Coronavirus has messed up your plans. Let’s make a thread of complaints together. It’s okay. They can be as small or stupid as you want.

I’ll start. My petty gripe during this whole thing is that I was saving up to buy a computer and some nice software so I could teach myself special effects and advanced video editing for my backup career plan and now that my job is shut down I have to keep all my savings to apply for grad schools next year and since my summer job got cancelled I might not even have enough for that.

Also my favorite taco shop is shut down and I’m pissed about it!

Wholesome family life  ❤️

In the kitchen, 1958

It honestly amazes me how many of my friends and women I know would love to be homemakers but they are embarrassed to admit it. Its sad that it is assumed that all women should want to be “hustlers” and “boss ladies” and wanting to being a homemaker is seen as outdated and having a lack of ambition. 

I’ll admit that I’m a little shy talking about my true goals sometimes, but when I get to connect with another woman who shares the same aspirations it really means so much to me. 

*Just want to make it clear that I’m not hating on women who have career goals. I love and support them too!

Wanting a man to provide for you doesn’t mean you’re incapable. Of course you’re capable. But it’s nice to have someone help you and take of you. That doesn’t mean you can’t do those things yourself. That just means someone loves you enough to make your life that bit easier <3
