All mothers I’ve ever known were effectively single mothers, even when they had a husband.

a LOT of women agree with this but men like….. universally object its hilarious

case in point. And it’s actually the mom on a call and not the dad.

Tbh I predict a lot of post covid divorces. This is a very common story.

A lot of people saying “grateful for my dad. whenever my mum couldnt make dinner, he would do it. if she was busy, he’d always chip in” are missing the point entirely. its not a woman’s job to do chores by default and whenever they cant, the man fills in the blanks. no! men and women should divide housework evenly ALWAYS! your dad should have been making dinner half the days of the week anyway.

I had a friend who would have been 91 next month. She married her husband in 1950 and throughout their whole marriage he always insisted on doing half the housework. Even though he worked full time as a dock worker his entire life and it absolutely was not expected of men at that time in society. He would also take any money he personally needed (or mortgage payments etc) out of his wage packet, then give her the rest of it and tell her she could spend it on anything they needed or she wanted, for herself or the kids. Because he loved and trusted her absolutely, he knew she would spend it responsibly, never asked for the receipts. He loved her and the kids and wanted to make sure they knew that, which included cooking for them, washing the dishes for them, looking after them when they were sick and everything that a competant husband should do. They were never rich or had a huge amount of money, just enough to get by comfortably most of the time and eventually save up to buy a small house.

When she talked to me about her husband she would almost always end up crying because she loved him so much and he was such a wonderful husband and person. Even in the decades where she couldn’t legally have a bank account or divorce and didn’t have half the rights women have now, he always treated her as an equal.

Men have always been capable of contributing at least half the work for childcare and household chores. They just choose not to and its disgusting that this is the situation so many women are stuck with in 2021.

Okay, hear me out:

A whole justice system that works this way

This is like when Catholics tell a priest all their sins and he has you go do something unrelated but nice as penance.

How dare you. The animation for Shrek at the time was INSANE.

I feel like what people who were born after Shrek always miss is that it was actually a huge unironic cultural sensation. The minions want what Shrek had. The mcu sits awake at night cursing lord farquaad because they could never have a villain as well written as him

Shrek was a revolution for 3D CG animation.

Compare human figures in Toy Story (1995)

Toy Story 2 (1999)

Monsters Inc. (2001)

Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (2001)

and Shrek (2001)

Even Shrek himself counts

Look at that detail - Shrek and Farquaad have subtle stubble, Shrek has liver spots on his scalp, characters have pores on their skin, Shrek’s ears here even have a subtle transparency like real skin and cartilage. His linen tunic has scruffy and rough edges and lint bobbing on the shoulders. Shrek doesn’t just represent a step forward, it represented a BIG jump. Look back at the early 3D Pixar films and you’ll see a progression in what 3D software could effectively render - first plastic toys, then chitinous insects, then scaly or leathery monsters with an enterprising look into the astoundingly complicated field of hair and fur. Shrek is a joke now, but it revolutionised the field of animation. Shrek finally prompted the Academy to add an Award for Best Animated Feature; after Beauty and the Beast lost Best Picture a few years before, Shrek was the point they could no longer dismiss the art and effort that go into animated films.

It also killed interest in 2D animation in the west but that’s none of my business

Never forget that they had to tone down the detail on Fiona’s hair because it looked TOO realistic to the point it was distracting.
