Feminism and romance: a contradiction in?
Feminism and romance : a contradiction in? This question is often asked when it comes to the connection between these two topics.
But in the modern Romcom "just something nice" it is shown that it is quite possible to combine both. The film, which is designed as a comedy, tells the beautiful story of Karoline (played by Karoline Herfurth), who is looking for simple and beautiful life.

Romantic love also plays a role in this, but in a very special way. The film is not about Karoline a strong, independent woman who dispenses with her romantic needs.
On the contrary, it shows that feminism and romance can very well fit together. She does not fight against love , but lives out in her own way. Although she pursues her own goals and dreams, she also finds time for romantic moments and relationships.
Romanticism does not necessarily have to mean that we are arrested in traditional patterns and outdated role models. On the contrary, feminism asks us to question and reflect on love and partnership It is about practicing relationships at eye level and practicing equality in both everyday life and in romantic relationships.
The message of "just something nice" is clear: feminism does not mean foregoing romantic experiences. It means that every woman self -determined how she designs her romantic relationships. Women do not have to fulfill the traditional role models, but can realize their own ideas of love and relationship.
The film also shows that it is important to love yourself and find your own happiness. Because only those who are at peace with themselves can also be happy in a romantic relationship. The Romcom "Simply something nice" invites you to get involved with life, to have new experiences and not to neglect the romantic sides.
So the key is to define our own ideas of romance and to live them consciously. There is no defined path of what romantic relationships should look like. As long as they are based on respect, equality and individual needs, feminism and romance can go hand in hand.
