Symonds is a former mistress of famous chef and T.V host Gordon Ramsey and Lord Jeffrey Archer who’s out run the old stereotypes about mistresses with her show The Mistress shown on the discovery channel and slice T.V. Chatel talked to Symonds about what it’s like to be the other woman, and what the biggest misconceptions about mistresses are. Here’s what she had to say. 1. Mistresses are always better looking or younger than the wife Movies like The Other Woman, likes the …show more content…
There is a specific ‘type’ when it comes to women who are likely to be mistresses. Literally any women or men can be a mistress. Its not as though it’s pointed out into a specific type of women, they don’t have to young, and beautiful. It can be the nerdy person in the office who you don’t even notice. 3. They are always ‘kept women’ In perfect honesty: Not all man who have affairs has a huge check in their pockets, to put his mistress up in the Penthouse of some Condo where she can live happily on room service and in-house massages until the end of time. It’s a fact that sometimes, according to Symonds, “ there are instances when the mistress is the one with the big bucks and she’s the one lending the money to him” 4. They are home-wreckers According to Chatel this one is going to sound a bit crazy, when Symonds explains it, it makes perfect sense. “They keep a marriage together in that the man has a release. A place to go to and a person who understands him, the wife goes to the happier man, husband and …show more content…
Mistresses get to have all the fun In truth, the mistresses is kind of the stress reliever to the husband, they are the ones who picks up the husband, they cater the husband, massage them etc. becoming according to Symonds calls a “second wife.” She says “The other woman benefits a wife when the wife has become lazy delegated her marital duties, and yet the wife is always so angry when she finds out. I think wives should be a little more appreciative of mistresses!” 6. They are not in it for love For them mistress isn’t always about partying, having fun, and flirting. For mistresses it also hurts to be in love with someone, they can’t be with on special occasions, valentines, Christmas or even reunion with the family. They are called home wreckers because of the pain they bring to families but the mistresses is suffering in her own way too. 7. They’re bad people or ‘sluts’ Its pretty effortless to call mistress as sluts, home wreckers or spawns of the devil. But that not whole fully true. For them they can’t always choose they fall in love with, and there are just instances that they fall in love with someone is already married. The husbands also deserve to be blamed in the relationship. 8. Mistresses don’t understand the trouble it can

    Now it is time to discuss what the Plantation mistress did have. They had a great deal of responsibility to the point that it was overwhelming. The plantation mistress was the foreman of all things on the plantation that were not used to produce cash for the plantation. She was in charge of all food production, which included the gardening and the animals used in the production of food, smokehouses, slaughterhouses, soap making, candle making, spinning yarn and material and making clothes for everyone on the plantation. For anything that was locked, the plantation mistress had the key. Clinton notes that “The plantation mistress held the keys as the symbol of her domain.” P. 7. The plantation mistress was responsible for tending to anyone on the plantation who got ill. The plantation mistress was responsible for the upbringing of her children as the planter rarely took an interest in them until they got older. The plantation mistress was responsible for the religious education of the occupants of the plantation. In the absence of her husband, the plantation mistress was also responsible for the planting, tending, and sale of the cash…

    The play Macbeth was set in Elizabethan times, where there was a patriarchal society in which men were superior to women. Women were known by their husbands’ names and were seen more as their husbands’ property than their partners. Elizabethan women were treated badly and disobedience on their behalf was a crime against religion as the society of that time believed that women were made to serve men. However, it was also believed that women were incapable of having evil thoughts or committing devilish crimes. The character of Lady Macbeth goes entirely against the typical Elizabethan woman as she is portrayed as strong and controlling over her husband Macbeth, and is the one to persuade him to commit an act of regicide. This would be shocking to an Elizabethan audience as regicide was known as the worst possible thing you could do, as they believed that their monarchs were sent from God. Miss Havisham is also the opposite of what women in her society were like; she was a spinster. This meant she was seen as a failure as in Victorian times, a woman’s proper purpose was to suitably marry; it was what they were born for. In most of Charles Dickens’ novels, the spinsters and old maids who appear are usually mad, desiccated, boring or secluded. Miss Havisham in Great Expectations is an example, a woman who…

    In the story, Margret Atwood talks and discusses the maids for a specific reason. I believe that she thinks that the maids had no voice, they are all females, and there death was not explained. That leaves one explanation that Margret Atwood is a feminist and thought that it would be important to include the maids and give them a much bigger part to show that its not ok to treat women that way. In the first telling of the story, it was never stated that the maids had restrictions as to who and whom they couldn’t sleep with. What also was not explained was why they slept with the suitors in the first place. That is why Margret Atwood found it to be intriguing to write about what actually happened and give the maids a voice.…

    Lady Macbeth is a strong, dominate woman married to a weak, submissive man and is always in Macbeth’s ear telling him her opinions on what she thinks that he should do. For example, when Lady Macbeth tells her husband it would be in his best interest to kill King Duncan; however, when he refuses, she begins to ridicule his masculinity, which then makes him feel the need to impress his wife by slaying his beloved king. Manipulation is something all women today use at some point to a male, because by playing mind games with him, the woman maintains a sense of power in a relationship.…

    What would you think of someone who has been married five times, and uses their body as a bargaining tool to get what they want from their husbands? Would you consider that to be trashy and of low morals or smart and powerful? Or would you compare them to the modern day celebrity? The Wife of Bath from “The Canterbury Tales” is an older woman who lived sometime in the middle ages, who loves to argue and be right.

    Nevertheless, the couple may be a swinger. A swinger is a form of extramarital sex in which married couples exchange partners with each other, with the consent of all. In this case I believe that extramarital sex is allowed. The reason I believe this is because everyone on the affair has agreed on it, and are allowing each other to engage in the intercourse. Some couples may find that doing this improves their relationship, and as long as there is honesty I don’t see anything wrong with it. Couples have different ways and ideas of how to improve their relationship, and like I mentioned before this may be it.…

    A good relationship between husband and wife depends on the level of mutual respect they have for each other. This means never taking each other for granted or simply expecting certain things for each other without asking or having a discussion around roles. For example in a relationship, the husband automatically expects the wife to know where his clean shirts are or assumes that all housework or duties pertaining to the children's needs are specially the wife's domain. This is a portrayal of a bad marriage. A good relationship relies on teamwork and sharing responsibilities equally - not leaving one person in charge of everything. Likewise, the burden or problems in a relationship should be overcomed together, which leads me to my point that working women in a marriage is significant.…
