Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

Totally agreed here. Paraphrasing a conversation my wife watched a video of a while back:
Traditionalist: "men should be supporting their family. If you're a stay at home dad, you're not a real man"
Guy being attacked: "I support my wife's professional aspirations, I support my kids' educations by being there to get them ready for school, by helping with homework, and by providing them with healthy home cooked food to support their physical and mental needs. I support them when they're sad, I support them when they're angry. I support their confidence by telling them how amazing they are. All you're doing is bringing home money, and that's a weak show of support"
Exactly. You're supporting your family is everyway
