The real secret is that being forced to stay home for 2 years made many women realize that being a “stay-at-home” wife/mom was more gratifying that trying to compete in the rat race. So the lefty lockdown policy backfired a bit in that way.
It’s also hot... just sayin’
There is this: demographic surveys consistently reveal that the happiest cohort in America is married conservative women. Why would’t any woman want to be one?
Well, these young women don’t have to play the game. Trouble is, it’s difficult to find an “unliberated” man willing to foot the bill for a lifetime.
I know a stunningly gorgeous woman - she absolutely does not want to “work” (though she did do some modeling for a while) and has gone through a series of men - and a few women - she doesn’t seem to care which as long they give her ‘the good life’ she wants.
She should probably go to the Emirates or someplace and marry one of those rich older men. My guess, she probably wouldn’t care if he had other women as long as she got what she wanted.
Cannot for the life of me see how this behavior between two individuals married to one another invites racism.
Love my trad wife, partner, friend.
Might as well, it might be one area that the trans will stay out of.
now we just need the boys to follow and become trad-husbands...you know, breadwinner, breeder, fixes things at home...
Most men want their wives to work and bring home an income.
It's been that way for 40-plus years.
Most men would run the other way, if a woman said she wanted to be a traditional wife.
I am good with women going either the career route or the traditional route. They should have the right to choose.
Where my hackles go up is when they change their mind AFTER the vows, a few years into the marriage. You know, once the house has been purchased and maybe a kid has already been born.
It is bad either way.
Our bad was my wife who had a degree in interior design, who managed her family owned lighting store, who had it all arranged to have a nursery at the store arbitrarily decided that she wanted to be a stay at home mom. I made about 60% of our income. Her staying at home meant selling the house and moving into a really not good neighborhood, going down to one vehicle and a bunch of other draconian cost cutting measures that I wasn’t thrilled about and she somehow didn’t think were necessary. You see, all I had to do was ask my boss for a double-my-salary raise and if he didn’t give me one, find another job that paid twice as much. That’s all.
Well, the good Lord intervened. Before my son was born her father, who owned the store, announced he was divorcing her mom and, because he didn’t want my wife to be caught in the crossfire, he fired her. So she got unemployment for a while and then when that was about to run out a friend asked if, since she was “stuck at home anyway” could she watch her baby as well? Before you could say “entrepreneur” my wife was running an in-home day care and making more than she had been at her other job. Crisis solved.
But when a wife tells you she wants to be a stay a home mom before the marriage, has kids, and THEN decides she wants to have a career...that can be marriage ending.
Forget the “Daddy Day Care” and “Mr. Mom” crap. Unless she has serious earning potential, that ain’t happening. My son is going through a bit of this. His wife had a double major in psychology and criminology, magnum cum laude, and at one point wanted to get into the FBI, but discovered that wasn’t going to happen. After a few years doing administrative work, staying home with the baby full time seemed like a good deal. Fast forward five years. They are still living in an apartment because houses are stupid expensive and even with one good salary a $350K house (average for this area and hard to find right now) would be a stretch. She is stir-crazy and wants to get a job. Oh, and she’s pregnant. Yep, these aren’t emotional discussions at all...oh no...
Enlightened feminists (and all enlightened people) understand that everyone is brought up differently and had a different childhood. That pretty much determines what you are happiest doing in life.
I for one would have been miserable without a career. I fully realized it only after I had started one. There are many more like me now than there were when I started out.
To each her own. Domesticity is an art and a science, like anything else.
No interspecies or intraspecies rivalry for me.
After college, but before entering the workforce, I wanted to see some of the world and thought I’d spend a year teaching English in Asia...
where I met a perfect woman who would become my wife.
I must have been good - really good - in a previous life.
Trad wife? Independent thinking woman.
In some rare cases, it might make sense for the roles to be reversed. The man stays home with the children and takes care of the household while the woman goes out to make a living to support the household. This is known as a female led relationship (FLR) but is the exception and not the rule.
In either case, it is the stay at home spouse, almost always the wife, who shoulders most of the household responsibilities. This should be an incredibly rewarding experience.
The feminist movement has demonized the "housewife" role for women, resulting in mostly dysfunctional families. Putting children in daycare is never better than having one of the spouses, almost always the wife, be home with the children full time and running the household.
In fact, I would argue that women who choose a domestic role are far more "liberated" then their "have it all" counterparts. They do not need to make a living in the outside world because they have a husband to do that for them.
It is also a false premise that these days you need two incomes to run a household. If a wife is thrifty, she can run the household on the husband's income alone. Maybe a smaller home, maybe only one car, and of course a lot of home cooking with raw ingredients as opposed to eating out or buying processed "easy to prepare" foods at the supermarket. Perhaps mending and even making clothing at home. It can be done on just about any income.
I hate morons who idealize the 1950s (the era of big government and big corporations) as the best of times. Some of us prefer the 1890s. 😂
To be a true Rightist is to be an anti feminist. There is no such thing as right wing feminism.
