You are present in a feminist demonstration, a faithful listener of Couilles sur la Table and not opposed to wearing heated underwear. However, your systemic reflexes are not far away. Test your relationship and then collect your tears.
EDITOR’S NOTE_
As Billie Eilish says so well: “You give an ugly guy a chance, he thinks he rules the world”. The brief romance between Otis and Ruby in Sex Education bears witness to this. Frustrated at not dominating his relationship, he broke the heart of the queen of the series. Deconstructed? Pretty stupid if you ask me.
You thought you were doing the right thing by offering Ovidie’s latest book to your other half. But now that single-sex meetings are held every Thursday evening at the apartment, you’re starting to regret it. Especially when Sabine, your girlfriend’s best friend, stares at you with disgust when she goes to the kitchen to collect the pistachios. Don’t worry, it’s simply the revolution that is underway. You’d better prepare yourself for this if you don’t want to be pilloried tomorrow at dawn.
1) YOU HAVE BINGEWATCH WORKIN’ MOMS AS A COUPLE
You have thus realized that combining career and family life is a challenge for women. That’s good, good start. Now, would you be willing to ask your boss for part-time work to manage the kids on Wednesdays? Or become the emergency contact at school in the event of a gastro outbreak? Sorry, maybe that’s too much to ask.
2) YOU NO LONGER HOLD THE DOOR FOR YOUR GIRL
You’ve learned that well, gallantry: it’s over! Since apparently it’s reductive and paternalistic. Practical, right? Carrying too heavy shopping bags, priority in the shower in the morning… done! You are equal, everyone has their own apple in your relationship. Ciao benevolent sexism!
3) YOU KNOW WHAT MENTAL LOAD MEANS
You heard it from Ben Névert, your ultimate guru. Like a good little soldier, you put post-its on the fridge to help your other half remember the “plumber appointment Tuesday”. Impossible for you to honor it, it’s right during your ultra important meeting with the n+2. But you’re deconstructed, so you remind your girlfriend of that. Well done champion.
4) YOU HAVE DISCOVERED THE EXISTENCE OF THE PINK TAX
You rebelled, cried foul. You even tweeted a lot of mansplaining, it lets off steam. However, your girlfriend didn’t wait for you to choose a blue razor for 2 euros rather than a pink one for 4 euros. But it comes from a good feeling, go buy your whiskey and charcoal scent deodorant, you deserve it.
5) YOU EARN LESS THAN CHOUCHOU
And it’s not a problem for you, you’re even very proud of her. You let her pay at the restaurant, what a modern man. On the other hand, if she might avoid saying it in front of your friends, that would be cool. Nothing to do with being ashamed, it’s just that they’re not as feminist as you, they wouldn’t understand.
6) YOU LET HIM CHOOSE EVERYTHING
That’s true feminism, leaving all the decisions to your girl. What can we blame you for if you don’t make a choice? Nothing, that’s it. She decides on menus, holidays, weekend outings, Christmas presents… everything. And when she asks for your opinion, you answer: “As you wish baby, you always have good ideas”. You’re like that, a nice guy.
7) YOU ARE FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF HOUSEHOLD CHORES
Besides, you made a super pretty panel for your couple’s tenth anniversary. It says that you agree to do the dishes every other day and the laundry too. Your girlfriend will just have to come buy some fixing paste following work to hang it. But your panel is great, too bad it’s ten years late.
Verdict: Do you recognize yourself in more than three answers? You are on the right track, another 50 years of questioning and you will be there, I promise.
