This, or similar nonsense, does the rounds every few years.
I do enjoy the implication that other women who work outside the home are misled by feminism into pursuing power over their pathetically emasculated husbands, not just earning money to keep a roof over the family’s heads in an economy that doesn’t afford the choice not to.
Women have always worked. It’s just that there was a brief period post WW2 where, for the good of society, getting unemployed veterans back into sustained and steady employment was in the national interest, and the propaganda machine was still in full swing. And anyway women in the home, pre electrification worked damn hard.
And when the daughters of the war generation, who had seen their mothers being heroes, grew up and started to push back the patriarchy the propaganda machine that had dispersed into advertising, tv and Hollywood tried to cling on to a fake image that was no more representative of real life than Instagram.
But it’s always (Total Women … Surrendered Wives… Trad Wives) about white women in 1950s florals. In the US at least, that image was underpinned by the domestic labour of black women doing the nasty jobs that get your pretty dress dirty.
It took centuries to dismantle marital couverture - much longer than to abolish slavery. Wives, just like slaves had no legal existence except as property. There are still traces today.
Women embracing this lifestyle (hah) are either dangerously naive or deeply disingenuous. The fact that they monetise this, makes me think the latter.
Who benefits?
