"Trad wives" outraged at being treated like traditional wives.

"I didn't care until it happened to me... TO ME!!"

"I thought we'd have a Martha" sobs woman who watched The Handmaids Tale and took entirely the wrong message from it.

"But... But I was supposed to be the one at the fancy baby shower while not being pregnant myself!"'she persisted.

Mfw the man wants a "trad wife" but doesn't want to be a trad husband

[–] Apytele@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Exactly this! You want a woman to run your house and rub your feet when you get home? You better be coming back from the fucking coalmine, asshole (not you you, obvs).

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 11 points 2 months ago

Well, you would still need a big job to sustain a whole family. It's doable and if you have kids, having a stay at home parent is best for them. But unfortunately the economy doesn't allow this nowadays

You can say "shit" on the internet.

Treated like shit.

I'm on the internet, Greg... Can you milk me?

I’m generally a proponent of equal treatment, but when some alt-right hate monger whines about not getting it, I have zero sympathy.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 93 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's like when you tell someone not to burn their hand by touching a hot stove but they do it anyway.

Like, yes, I STILL support you not touching the stove, but I don't feel sorry for you.

But... I never thought the leopards would eat MY face!

[–] Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

Oh thank you, I never understood that previously.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

Exactly, you’ve been condemning the movement that demands people treat you like a person. What did you expect? I still oppose the misogyny you face, but you did go looking for it

This should sum up the entire thing: Ben Shapiro, who's wife is a doctor, doesn't understand that women's vaginas get when when they're sexually aroused.

I thought it was not that she didn't know about the wetness (self lubrication), more that she didn't understand the squirting orgasm, which is what the track is talking about at one point.

[–] 5wim@slrpnk.net 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Flying Squid was saying that Ben Shapiro himself doesn't understand women's self-lubrication, and also that his wife is a doctor.

Ben's more of a foot man than a pee man.

[–] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I can only image their sex life is either very ridged, and awkward, or it's like sex dungeon stuff.

Just give them all the gross, sweaty, smelly sex they think they’re owed for talking to you. That’s how they see it, and they certainly aren’t going to change. If anything, they’ll get worse.

Or maybe rethink who you’re in bed with.

[–] kerrigan778@lemmy.world 46 points 2 months ago

Ah, so they're looking for some diversity, equity and inclusion in the alt right movement. Brilliant.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 40 points 2 months ago

Well what did you expect you dingdongs.

[–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 40 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That was a pretty old headline, nowadays the Alt-Right women are all about the trad-wife fetish

[–] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 40 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They support it performatively because it gives them clout, and often are dumb enough to follow along. Most of them hate it once they experience it for long enough, though. Look at Lauren Southern suddenly denouncing her "trad partner" having been abusive for years even while she was promoting it.

[–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 15 points 2 months ago

Why I called it a fetish, it really is just people getting weird about playing house until they get tired of it and have to figure out what actually being a homemaking unit with their partner looks like. It's the sex equivalent of all those Mormon dudes who confessed they wouldn't have had so many kids if they knew that one day they were gonna be stuck with them all under one roof during the COVID lockdowns.

Even women actively saying they're looking for that relationship will probably admit once prodded that they're only willing to abide that dynamic with a partner who genuinely pulls the other half of the ship and who genuinely respects and shows proper appreciation of the wife's full time homemaking, y'know, someone who makes them feel like a partner instead of a sex doll with a cooking mode.

The people who adhere the most to trad-wife lifestyles are probably also the people who'd be the least interested in men who are being sold on the trad-wife fad as the ideal woman.

What publication is this from

[–] psvrh@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 months ago (6 children)

Not sure, but Laura Southern had a moment like this and documented it for the world to read.

[–] PoopingCough@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That article tried to "both sides" so hard it made my brain hurt.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 32 points 2 months ago

"I was a liberal, now I'm a conservative; she's a fascist and she's still a fascist but she's upset that fascists are being fascist towards HER - do we have anything in common?"

Spoiler: yes.

Oh this is from 7 years ago lol I saw this post and thought “didn’t we already kind of establish this in the media a while back?”

Would've been better without the colors

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

i think the colors are meant to be the regions of the "political compass", meaning all those political regions laugh about it.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I know, and I'm saying the meme would be better without it. The political compass colors add nothing to it
