Imagine a life where you spend your whole day being pampered.Shopping,getting your tan topped up,having your nails done,getting the extensions touched up.What a life!Imagine a life where you don't have to work at all,all you have to do is look glamorous.That must be the life of the WAGs(Wives and Girlfriends)of the current football team.Alex,Carly,Colleen,Cherly and of course,Victoria, all seem to have an ideal life.I can imagine some women looking at them and thinking, you lucky bitches!
But hang on,whatever happened to feminism?I would hate to think this is what most women would want,a life utterly devoted to materialism and totally dependant on a man.None of these women seem to have any aspirations to have careers,all are quite happy with the label Footballers Wife/Partner.I doubt if any of these women have heard of Betty Friedan or Germine Greer(wasn't she in Big Brother?).The idea of achievement on your own talent, or being self sufficient is not what these women are about.As long as she can shop using the credit card, or go to that magazine shoot, who cares?
In a world obsessed with celebrity and consumerism,getting pictured in Heat,buying the lastest Gucci handbag is all that matters.What an empty shallow life this must be.Constantly competing with each for media attention,going to the lastest restuarant and alsways having to look your best,it must be hard work just to keep looking good.
Maybe feminism is dead, and that's what all women secretly want:to be looked after.I damn well hope not.
