It isn’t being a “trad wife” that’s problematic, what sucks is growing up in a subculture where you’re repeatedly told what your expected role is based on your arrangement of DNA.
I have a house husband and it is AWESOME. He gets a pretty sweet deal too. If this is something you can do (either spouse staying at home), I recommend trying it out.
It’s looked at fondly by these people because few can afford that lifestyle anymore. It’s almost a status symbol of sorts in a weird way.
Individual women doing what those individual women want to do, in a society where they’re free not to do that that thing, is harmful to women’s rights.
Okay. Yeah, okay.
EDIT: Today I realized people are still threatened by women exercising their rights. Y’all just brand it differently, when it offends your tastes.
The difference arises when they try to tell other people this is their best choice and not doing it their way is “bad”
Isn’t that what has been done all these years? And do tell, what people must choose and do to conform to you, plz.
No? Nobody’s said you can’t be a stay at home wife/mother/scrapbooking expert. It might be difficult to live on a single income, so there are practical concerns, but that’s the type of decision you make with your partner.
Not the point. You were on your way of telling us how is bad for people to choose whatever you don’t like while at the same time advocating no one should tell anyone what to do .
So which one is it?
