Helen Mirren says men putting their arm around their girlfriend’s shoulders looks like ‘ownership’

Dame Helen Mirren is not shy to speak her mind.

The Oscar-winning actress has taken aim at men who sling their arm over their girlfriend’s shoulders because it looks like ‘ownership’.

In an interview with the Mail On Sunday’s You Magazine, Dame Helen compared women to ‘toddlers in this modern world’ in the sense they were were still ‘trying to find their position in the age of sexual liberation, birth control, education and financial independence.’

“Wot can you name dat is anything like a dame?...There ain't a thing that's wrong with any man here that can't be cured by putting him near A girly female womanly feminine dame.”

So?

Look Helen, in a relationship there is a certain amount of ownership.

If my husband declared that he was a free and independent agent then he would promptly be invited to be free and independent somewhere else.

The reverse is also true. I am not a free and independent agent, I belong to him.

When you do not have any ownership in a relationship you do not have relationship. You have someone you have sex with.

The big problem people are having these days is that they are being told that they should be happy just to screw occasionally and not depend on anyone else.

It makes for a lonely miserable life.

Shame on you for encouraging it.

Helen Mirren’s least favorite song:

Put another log on the fire
Cook me up some bacon & some beans
And go out to the car & change the tire
Wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans
Come on baby you can fill my pipe & then go fetch my slippers
And boil me up another pot of tea
Then put another log on the fire babe

And come & tell me why you're leaving me

Now don't I let you wash the car on Sunday
And don't I warn you when you're gettin fat
Ain't I a gonna take you fishin’ with me someday
Well a man can't love a woman more than that
And ain't I always nice to your kid sister
Don't I take her driving every night
So sit here at my feet cause I like you when you're sweet
And you know it ain't feminine to fight

So put another log on the fire
Cook me up some bacon & some beans
Go out to to the car & lift it up & change the tire
Wash my socks & sew my old blue jeans
Come on baby you can fill my pipe & then go fetch my slippers
And boil me up another pot of tea
Then put another log on the fire babe
And come & tell me why you're leaving me

It's not her least favorite for the reason you think it is. It's her least favorite because she doesn't understand humor or humans.

Yep.

If any news organization would investigate Disney or Nickelodeon, they’d be entering a target-rich environment of child abuse. But no one wants to upset the apple cart.

"looks like ownership"

Yeah, you know what, Helen? It kind of does, and I LIKE IT. It's sexy when my husband says I'm his and I belong to him.

I wish I could tell her that to her face to see her sputter.

“No, I was referring to Lesley Gore.”

I had to wiki her to see what it said; I didn’t know she died earlier this year!

Said by a woman who’s never had a guy really love and care for her.

GEez, I’m so naive, I thought it was just that when a couple puts their arm around each other the man is usually taller so he puts his arm around the woman’s shoulders whilst she puts hers around his waist. But what do I know.

“When a ‘man’ puts his arm around me, it makes me feel like I’m a Lady....like I mean ‘something’ to him...”

If you have a man on the back of your Harley and he puts his arms around your waist, it keep bugs out of his teeth. Go lady.

She is totally irrelevant and just jealous as no one has their arm around her. Liberal, mentally-diseased moonbat she is...ie: crazy; nuttier than a fruit cake she is.
