[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dislike women who are smug about who they married, especially if their smugness is related to their husband's income or family money. I don't dislike them for "marrying well" -- I hope everyone who wants a partner finds a good one. I dislike them for being obnoxious about how their marriage offers them more economic power than other women they know. It's a fundamentally misogynist attitude and is just gross.

There was a woman in another thread recently who explained that her she didn't have to work and was able to travel extensively with her husband when he traveled on business, and how that made another woman jealous. And then she said a bunch of snide stuff about how that woman was miserable in her job and was probably making her husband miserable too. It was just incredibly judgmental and smug. I can't stand women like that. If you are fortunate in who you married, be thankful for your good fortune. Acting smug makes you look so small and petty.[/quote]

I just hate the whole “married well trope”, mercantilism in relationships, and heavy misogyny [/quote]
