The role of a gypsy woman is to serve the man. The woman must cook, take care of children, and ensure that the house is spotless. At a young age, gypsy girls are taught to clean instead of gaining an education. When I watched this clip my thoughts were how sad this girl is taught to settle down young and to miss out on her education I wanted to know what others thought so I scrolled down to the comments. Lets just say I was appalled.This is girl is 14 years old and strangers are calling her a slut, whore, clown,and many other unnecessary names.
Not only are these young women being downgraded with terminology but the are also constantly competing with other gypsy women.
When was beauty defined and why must women try to out look one another? Well beauty all began in the 1920s. It started out with the flappers. Flappers were women who wore more revealing clothes during that time and had some what of a sex appeal. The created this idea of pretty. Only a small minority could be flappers these were the women who could afford the lifestyle. Gypsy women are quite similar to the the flappers they have similar traditions. They are rebellious and consume fun. Their life revolves around a lifetime of parties and competition between women. However they still had boundaries that they did not cross. When it was time to settle down both women flappers and gypsies settled down to motherhood.
