A New York City gossip reporter by the name of Stephanie Smith, revealed herself to be the source of 300 Sandwiches.
It's a food blog that she created after she gave her boyfriend a sandwich and he told her she was 300 sandwiches away from an engagement ring.
She then proceeded to make sandwich after sandwich, while blogging it.
At the time of the article where she revealed herself, she had made 176 of said 300 sandwiches; each growing more and more complicated and fancy.
People on the internet reacted in one of two ways. Some found it cute and/or funny. Others shouted that this woman was a sad excuse for the feminist movement; and she promoted servitude.
But, here's the deal: if 2 people are in a relationship, and they have this back and forth, and they think that there's nothing actually bad about the relationship; I think it's fine. If they're totally happy about their relationship, then they should be left alone.
Also, here's how I see women and sandwiches: some would make you a sandwich before you even think about it, some would always be ready to make you a sandwich whenever you need one, while some would tell you to go fuck yourself right after kicking you in the balls.
I'm a little bit bothered by this though; and it ends up being a reason that's accidentally attached to the feminist movement.
In general consensus, it comes across that this ring is something that is earned; which bothers me because I never saw (and will never see) an engagement ring, or a marriage, as something that was/is earned. And, if this story perpetuates the idea that an engagement ring is something a woman has to work for, to get, like a treat for a dog, then I have a problem with it.
My woman's worth more than 300 sandwiches, an engagement ring, anything. It all comes down to happiness and love, and that's what I'm going to focus on with that story.
