Obsolete Clichés!
#27
RE: Obsolete Clichés!
“Barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.” I’ve long taken issue with this idiom, not just because the first third is hot, but that ‘barefoot’ is meant to signify that the woman in question can’t leave the house to socialise. Ignoring that COVID should probably have rendered the premise useless, Not only is this assumption due to unrelated social prejudices and not an inherent quality of shoelessness, I’ve read quite a bit from women in modern times who aren’t dirt-poor, still regularly leave the house barefoot, and still lead a decent-sized social life. And to show how little that can matter, a few years ago, a teenaged girl named Rae Heim managed to run across the length of America (3437.5 miles, to be precise) and did almost all of it with nothing between her and the ground but a healthy layer of earth:




And I’m aware of at least two other female Youtubers (Julia Chi Taylor and Brittany Taylor, no relation) who go as far as traveling around the world in a nomadic and mostly barefoot lifestyle.
