if being a trad wife is so awesome and natural then why did it crater within two generations because every woman encouraged her daughters and granddaughters to choose a better life than she did.
A family built on the abuse and subjugation of women must burn. If society can only thrive when women are stripped of their humanity, that society must also burn. In fact, it must cease t exist altogether. Hope that helps.
@nienna121 yup. sleepovers might actually be the *safest* setting for kids to get their first taste of autonomy and unstructured/unsupervised time with friends
@CivicNatalist@CuriousBunnie12 we’re talking about freedom from your husband girl. having your own job and your own money gives you freedom from your husband
jeffrey goldberg refusing to dump all the text messages in the houthi signal chat is exactly why the natsec advisor had his personal phone number. it is precisely the problem w/ fake "journalists" at legacy publishers. they're stenographers for the state dept.
@REDLOVEJOY @how2decay eh, gotta disagree. sexual coercion is about holding power, not satisfying a natural urge. it’s not intrinsic to heterosexual relationships
@ephemerealities@how2decay things are different today (marital rape is mostly illegal and women have a wider range of ways to make money) but her analysis is still sooo important for understanding sexual norms/archetypes and backlash against women’s sexual liberation
@ephemerealities@how2decay 100%, she never said women can’t want or enjoy sex, just that women in her time had no recourse against violent sex and no leverage to make sex more enjoyable. tolerating sex on men’s terms was part of women’s economic role and literally written into the letter of the law
If we accept, despite the wailings of commiebro morons, that men are a class, we can analyse their behaviour as being within their class interest and it suddenly all makes sense.
