Chivalry: “Let me carry your bags.”
Feminism: “Don’t act like I’m broken or dainty.”
Wait, wait. Drop your confusion plate. There’s more to the connection between British actress
Millie Bobby Brown and Jason Kelce’s wife, Kylie Kelce.
Kylie Kelce and Millie Bobby Brown agree on chivalry and feminism
Kylie Kelce’s Not Gonna Lie podcast’s latest episode features British actress Millie Bobby Brown.
The two-time Emmy Award-nominated actress took a shot at people who took a shot at her husband, Jake Bongiovi.
“Hi, I’m Millie Bobby Brown, and I’m Not Gonna Lie: when did women become incapable of holding their own bags, car seats, and stuff?
This stems from me holding all of my suitcases and bags and my kid, and people are like, ‘Your husband doesn’t hold a single thing.’
And I’m like, ‘Because I’m three miles ahead, I have been planning this all night.’
We’re all about empowering girls, and like, ‘You got it, you don’t need a man.’
But then when I’m like, ‘Okay, I can carry my own thing,’ people are like, ‘Where’s your husband?’ And I’m like, ‘I can also do it on my own.’
Nobody knows my husband. My husband is the most polite, sweet, like, will do anything for me, but he also knows I’m capable.”
“I love this so much,” Kylie agreed.
“I thought you would, because you strike me as the same kind of person,” the Stranger Things actress said.
Kylie then shared her own story.
“The number of times that I have people come up to me and be like, ‘Do you need help with that bag?’
And I’m like, ‘Hey guys, I really appreciate it, but if I needed help, I’d ask for it.’
The first person I’m asking, you guessed it, my husband [Jason Kelce]. Thank you.”
The mom-of-four went on to explain that while she enjoys chivalry, she prefers a form of feminism rooted in equality -- one where women are believed to be capable of carrying whatever they want and can ask for help if they need it.
She emphasized that she does not want people to think she is broken or dainty.
“I enjoy the idea of chivalry,” Kylie said. “I don’t want it to be dead. I want there to be a degree of politeness and catering to your woman and whatever. But at the same time, don’t act like I’m broken or dainty. I am not.”
“I’m not broken,” the Damsel actress agreed.
As if this was going to sit well with cybercitizens...
The internet is really mad because a husband didn’t hold a bag
One user commented, “Loser rich women pushing traditional wife b***s**t when my dad went above & beyond to make sure they were partners & my mom was supported.
Both of their spouses give off white male privilege. I mean, Jason only really did anything hands-on because he retired.”
Another declared, “Obviously, you got it and don’t need a man. But he’s a man, and he needs to do it regardless… no matter what.”
One post read, “The internet is really mad because a husband didn’t hold a bag? We’re officially out of things to talk about. Go outside.”
A user said, “He’s her husband, not her damn slave. You can’t have it both ways.
And let me guess, the loudest stupid opinions come from those with no husband. Typical. More worthless degrees at work--gotta make s**t up to be relevant.”
Another wrote, “Sadly, men are only offering to help with bags because they are pretty. Men very rarely offer help to an elderly woman. Most actually *do* need it.”
Another complimented Millie Bobby Brown for standing up: “Love how she defended him, that’s a queen right there.”
