June Cleaver: What every girl is supposed to be?

Even though I find myself to be somewhat of a feminist, I am drawn to June Cleaver’s homemaking abilities. Well, I guess I would classify myself to be a feminist who believes in chivalry. Anyway, that is beside the point. Not only do I absolutely adore the way June Cleaver dressed, but I love that she would be there for her children with snacks when they came home from school. I think I love this concept because sometimes when my mom would go on a baking spree, I would be met with fresh cookies and milk. I always loved eating those cookies and spending quality time with my mom. I don’t believe women should completely act like June Cleaver (remember, she was a fictional character), but there are some aspects to her role, personality, and attitude that I do admire. She was diligent to her family and found joy in serving them. That’s always good. But I would have like to see her be a little more strong-willed. I mean, stand her ground; share her opinions freely. That sort of thing. Overall, she was an exceptional fictional woman…that’s probably why she was fictional.
