I agree a lot of it exposes the inequalities a lot of these parents have bought into in their own lives. It seems like a lot of people are very feminist and egalitarian up until they get married and then a lot of the men expect to be taken care of and waited on at home and the women are fine with it as long as they get a big glittery ring and a nice house and don't get hassled too much about their spending. It's really something to see. Boys who grow up in that environment develop some very retrograde attitudes about gender (as to the girls) regardless of their parents' declared politics.[/quote]

If the women are happy with their glittery rings and taking care of their home and family, why is it a problem? [/quote]

It's not a problem.

More power to them.

The problem is when the picture perfect husband becomes a violent abuser. The wife no longer has a no fault divorce. She no longer has credit in her name. She can no longer leave. She is trapped. [/quote]

What?  This isn’t 1950.  Why wouldn’t she have credit in her name?  I’m a SAHM and I’ve had credit in my name since I was 18 years old.  I also have my own retirement account, my own car (title is in my name), a driver’s license, and friends and family I could turn to in a crisis.

The majority of women aren’t “trapped” in their marriages.  The majority of men are not violent abusers, and I don’t have the statistics on this but I am guessing the violent abusers will be that way regardless of their wives working status.[/quote]

You voted for the party that struck down Row V. Wade. Make America Great Again doesn't stop there. It means there will be no more no fault divorce, no more woman's right to open her own bank account, no more woman sign her own mortgage, hold down a job, vote. MAGA wants to dial it way back.
