How “Barefoot and Pregnant” Became a Dark American Joke
The origins of a proverb that’s taken on a life of its own.
my opinion: Perhaps the magic of Evolution is starting to work? That the chicks who had spurned motherhood have self-killed their genome thereby leaving us only with the progeny of those who embraced motherhood?Back in 2014, when actress Evangeline Lilly (Lost, The Hobbit) shared her desire to have six children in Fashion magazine, she added, “There is that old mentality where some think women should be barefoot and pregnant and in the kitchen. When I hear those words, I think, ‘What. A. Dream.’ ” British superstar singer Joss Stone echoed Lilly this past March when she revealed she wants seven kids of her own: “Sometimes I feel like I’m supposed to be born in another time, because it’s really not fashionable to say I just want to be barefoot and pregnant.”
