Singletons- Bridget is 'ruining' our families.

I love Bridget Jones.

She is the saviour of women and lets us no its ok to be normal. And by normal i mean to drink too much, to eat a whole packet of Christmas tree chocolates in one sitting, not be able to cook and to do mildly embarrassing things such as display our arses on live t.v. 

She lets us know that we are not alone in the world, that there are millions of other women like us, struggling along without a clear direction.

The Torys' view of Bridget

Bridget has recently come under fire from the Tory's for 'wanting too much'. Apparently she is to blame for today's women not getting married and 'destroying' the family . She has been to university and so it stands to reason that she wants to marry a man equally, if not more, educated. After all, why should she be the main provider??

More women are now going to university than men. Good on them.

The blame here is completely misplaced, rather than condemning women for wanting more, should we not be criticising men for settling for less??
