Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

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.

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.

There’s a difference between that and the type of women who are all over social media saying things like “men are allowed to hit their wives” and “women aren’t allowed to say no when a man asks for sex”

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.

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Being a stay at home parent/homemaker is fine. Trad wives are a toxic subculture though. It’s not the same as just being a homemaker

[–] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is almost an insulting fad that I didn't know Conservative women were into. They do understand women of that era were regularly abused and assaulted, right?

[–] fleacircus@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

So are trad wives.

Clearly women have a choice as long as it conforms and benefits the stablished subjective rules imposed by Feminism ™

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org -4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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.

"No man can tell you how to live! Live your life how you want to!"

later...

"No! Not like that!"

There have always been women that didn't mind being housewives, and I would certainly love to be a househusband. These people are doing a whole 50's nostalgia thing, which I think is stupid, but I think a lot people and things are stupid, so whatever. You do you.

The difference arises when they try to tell other people this is their best choice and not doing it their way is “bad”

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Isn't that what has been done all these years? And do tell, what people must choose and do to conform to you, plz.

[–] gramathy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

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?
