It's a trap.

In 10 years she'll divorce him, claim no skills whatsoever to support herself, get "lifetime" alimony, excessive support for the kids, put him on the hook for college education and get half of his social security and any pension benefits he worked for too.

Seen it dozens of times already.

Great insight. My daughter has been searching for a mate for many years. She’s pretty up front that when kids arrive she wants to be a full time mom (maybe some part time income)

The majority of men she meets shut that down right away.

She began dating a guy a few months ago who agrees with her stance. I assume she’ll be getting a ring soon.

I play the protective father but I really like the guy.

Taking bets for when the same media that promotes the idea that men can get pregnant starts to ridicule her.

“Words of wisdom” from a 22-year-old? *chortle* I knew everything when I was 22, too.

Best wishes to the family.

“Raising children in the home is persecution?”

Several years back I had a USAF job where I traveled the countryside doing service work at field stations. On one occasion I had to take along a gal from Madison Wisconsin. We were driving along and met a school bus. She asked what’s that doing out here? I said taking kids to school. She said do they live on farms? I said yes.

Her reply was “That’s child abuse”. This woman was a died in the wool leftist.

I knew she was a sensitive lefty, and made it a point to keep my remarks to a minimum. A couple days later my boss called me into his office and told me she filed a sexual harassment complaint against me. Laughed it off, wouldn’t tell me what I supposedly did, and just said to stay away from her. He made the complaint go away.

Correct. Several in my family, including my mother and grandmothers. Amazing human beings— smart, wise, with hearts of absolute gold, but tough, tough as nails.

There’s definitely some momentum behind the rejection of modern feminism. Some of it is just a result of a weak snowflake generation of women that realize this expectation to have a career is hard and not what it’s cracked up to be. They also think they’re a ‘10’ and work is beneath them, they deserve a guy that makes $300k/yr to support “the life I want and deserve”.

That said, there’s glimmers of hope. I enjoy the YouTube channel “Just Pearly Things”. The young lady that hosts this channel is a breath of fresh air when it comes to feminism and the culture wars. She shoots down many attitudes of the women she interviews. They’re so delusional - but it is epidemic. Now some ladies, such as this ‘trad wife’, realize what modern culture is offering is poison and are going in the opposite direction.

Mrs Deplorable does this, but we never thought of making it newsworthy. Truthfully, I think if taxes were lowered, so one can stay home, some parents would. One of Mrs D’s friends would love to stay home, but her husband works in retailing and she is an accountant.

Myself, growing up in the late 1960s/early 1970s, my mom and my friends’ mom’s stayed home. My mom’s rule was be home when the streetlight came on. My mom knew where I was...either in the basement running my model railroad layout, or at my friends’ house or fishing at BAP Pond or motorcycling/snowmobiling.

26 years and going strong here.

“and women were persecuted”

I think this is referring to things like bankers refusing home loans or car loans to women, men chasing their secretaries around the office, and so on. If a woman got divorced, even from an abusive, unfaithful husband, she could be subject to shame or gossip. Not long before tha 1940s, women could not vote.

The culture was far, far better in the 1940s, but it had a few blemishes that have been improved.

The collapse of the educational system and the need for homeschooling are probably driving a lot of women out of the workforce and back into the home.

“BTW, why didn’t women want to compete with men in the workplace when it involved scratching the walls of a coal mine 14 hours a day, six days a week?”

They worried about chipping a nail?

I guess she doesn’t know that if it weren’t for large farm families, America would’ve starved in the 19th & 20th centuries.

Who did she think worked the farms 24/7/365 ... elves?
