I truly enjoyed the piece. I have never read Bridget Jones, but I love the movie and have seen it multiple times. I remember once my mentor said to me, love is another way to evolve. You evolve through love too, and women have done it through ages, it just that their voice was not out there as much as men's. We all are as complex and as simple as the other person. I think the other layer to dig deeper is to think on how men and women perceive love and relationship in daily basis and for a long haul.

Is the date the Scottish man? 🤣🤪 Loved this piece! I’ve always been a big Bridget fan and never understood the criticism because it was meant to be satire but also representative of how women were in the 90s heroin chic era. Bridget was actually a slim, normal woman at 135ish lbs for her height but the culture of the time valued rail thinness. And really culture hasn’t always evolved in that women’s lives do often focus around love and finding love in a way men’s lives don’t. But women are complex anyway with an array of interests so maybe it is all good. 😅🧐 Thanks for sharing. 🫶🏻

It is indeed, yes 🙈 Yeah definitely- there’s such a big difference between portraying the culture of the 90s in a humorous way and condoning it! I feel happy though reading it in how much society has moved on- so much of the sexism/harassment faced by Bridget at work would be unthinkable nowadays (although not to say it doesn’t still happen albeit in more covert ways).

Ah yes! Re the workplace stuff. Excellent point. Thankfully, that stuff is hopefully resigned to the past!
