Actress Under Fire for Praising 'Valuable' Role of Women as Nurturers at Home

Actress Kirsten Dunst came under attack from nasty feminists on the Internet for remarks she made in the U.K. edition of Harpers Bazaar magazine.

"I feel like the feminine has been a little undervalued," Dunst said. "We all have to get our own jobs and make our own money, but staying at home, nurturing, being the mother, cooking – it’s a valuable thing my mum created. And sometimes, you need your knight in shining armour. I’m sorry. You need a man to be a man and a woman to be a woman. That’s why relationships work."

Erin Gloria Ryan at the radical feminist site Jezebel took after Dunst as a dummy:

I'm not going to couch this much because Kirsten Dunst is not paid to write gender theory so it shouldn't surprise anyone that she's kind of dumb about it, just as I wouldn't be surprised if Gloria Steinem sucked at convincingly and heartbreakingly playing a mysterious oversexed teen who kills herself in a Sofia Coppola movie.

“Feminists claim to be pro-woman, but they only support ‘correct’ choices and decisions. But Kirsten’s views are timeless,” Katie Yoder of MRC’s Culture and Media Institute told Fox News. “Femininity has lost its meaning. Our culture and media teach women that success means running after careers and money. Instead, a pro-woman society should emphasize a woman’s importance and worth, no matter her decision in how to live out her life.”

Dunst is currently dating Garrett Hedlund and said maybe she’ll try motherhood in her future, but then, she also painted a picture of being a bit of a spinster:

When films are behind Dunst, she says it will just be her and her best friend, Molly, with whom she used to put on plays in the backyard and share boy crushes. "We’re going to live together in a house," she says, "and who gives a shit what we eat, and who cares how many cats we have? Because you know, you have your girlfriends for life."

Oh, good grief. Is it suddenly not okay to acknowledge that a lot of women genuinely enjoy being nurturing and feminine? What? This is only "okay" if some 50-something guy puts on a dress and embraces his vulnerable, nurturing, "feminine" side? Genetic women can't participate or acknowledge it anymore?

"Suddenly?" No. This is a resurgence from the late '70s and early '80s, when the feministas were on the front lines telling everyone that all sex was rape.

Feminism 2.0 is telling women (and men) that they get to have sex that isn't rape, but the state must pay for their choice to be sexually "loose" so that there are no consequences to sex. Make those greedy bastard rich men pay for it, by gaia! They've "stolen" women's wealth for too long! All women are subjugated just like in Mad Men (which is a fantasy lie, but let's just ignore the facts), and there is no excuse for paying women less in the workplace where they have far less experience and knowledge because they took fifteen years off to raise children, only because the cisheteronormative-dominant cispatriarchy told them to, and not because they decided to fall into bed with a loser at closing time who knocked them up and then left them before dawn. If that evil thing with a penis hadn't done that all by his lonesome, then womyn would be truly equal and indeed dominant in every way, as is their right under galactic law.

What a bunch of palaver. The feminist movement has done more to damage the traditional family than all the interracial and gay marriage ever can hope to do. Dunst shouldn't be hounded for having an honest opinion. What she said does not demean women in any way. This is as outrageous as the double-standards used to push out Eich at Mozilla.

Diversity is only a word to some people, I guess.

Generally stop listening/reading at "gender theory". Another trigger is "you need to educate yourself (presumably I will then agree)".
