My DH is super conservative and we disagree about a host of issues. Each person in a couple gets three non-negotiable values IMO and the earlier you can decide which they are, the more successful your relationship will be. If you want to be egalitarian, pro-choice and progressive taxing, then you don’t get to veto school vouchers and reduced maternity leave.

How can any man who loves his wife and his children support reduced maternity? I don't get that part. Somehow I doubt such men are doing night time feeding and diaper duty.

Not worth it. The Venn diagram of current conservatism and misogyny is not quite a circle but it’s too close to take that chance.

as if men have interesting conversations?

I can tell you after 20 years of marriage to a man who was a Conservative when we married (I'm a middle of the road Dem, not a Progressive and a Joe Manchin-type probably represents my ideals best), but has since gulped the Fox News kool-aid and is now an election denier, thinks Jan. 6 was no big deal, Tucker Carlson is right about everything, it can be a nightmare. I can not discuss anything political with him because he's grown so extreme.

Just FYI, to bring him back to the rational side of conservatism, have him listen to the Commentary Magazine podcast and Breaking Points podcast (also a YouTube Channel). Just play it from Spotify or Youtube on the main TV in the background and I promise it will get him interested. It will detoxify him, but will feed him enough rational conservative viewpoints to open his eyes to dump Trump and hopefully go for another more rational conservative.

Trump?, oh nvm, he just married an illegal.

You are woke. Woke is very very bad.

Hmm, I would say I’m the opposite. You wouldn’t catch me dead at one of those BLM or pink hat rallies. I don’t like political correctness or wokism but I also don’t like how most conservatives have gone off the deep end. We have so many religious nutjobs and conspiracy theorists/Putin apologists on the right these days. I voted Trump in 2016 and Biden 2020

please. Conservative men don't believe in equal housework and childcare.

I grew up in a conservative household.

Liberal men are much more aware of women's rights than conservative men, who really don't care much about women's rights.

Also, the highly educated tend to be liberal.

I disagree, I’m very liberal.

Conservative men fix things, take care of the lawn/yard, paint rooms, fix light fixtures, do the taxes, grill, take orders when there is a party, plan tail gates, do the dishes, take their plates to the sink, set up tvs, move furniture, coach kids sports teams, help with nighttime routine (anything family), etc.

Things are equal but fall on gender norm lines.

haha .. my liberal DH does all of it, and cooks, not just grill, bakes, fixes all kinds of things (neighbors all come to him for help fixing stuff), and he's an engineer. But, I do the taxes.

Conservative men aren't doing much childcare or cooking and baking. Please.

Tail gate? LOL That's super important housework. LOL

You missed the point!

Yes conservative men to care for children but just not in the way you agree.

And southerners tailgate Friday night/Saturday and Sunday.

Grilling is cooking

You aren’t talking about conservatives you are talking about jerks. There are plenty of liberal men who can’t cut a lawn or install a light fixture.

I didn't miss the point. Conservative men mostly have traditional gender roles, and doing housechorse and childcare is a traditionally female's role. If you mean they care for their children by working, guess what.. most women work and do housechores/childcare, too.

I didn't realize Conservative only meant "southerners". LOL. I think you mean "traditional southern" people, not "conservatives". But, I'm sure you know that there are conservatives in other parts of the country,right? LOL

No taking care of children is not "traditional female roles" after men get home from work. Actually it's the opposite. Conservative men are actually very involved in care of children after they get home from work, but yes, they work so they are not involved from 9-5 but neither are working women.

Conservative is not a Monolith nor is Liberal, you are joking if you think all liberal men are doing bedtime routine 50/50. I was giving and example.

Conservative men are coaching teams, boy scouts, church groups, football games, baseball games, etc.

51% of conservatives support LGBT rights/marriage.
40% support immigration support
50% support gun control

You really have been snowed by the Trump GOP and have forgotten there is a whole group of conservative that are not them.

lol. I need a source for your %s.

The front runner for 2024 for the GOP is Trump. He has a much bigger lead than the next R. So yes, Trump GOP = GOP.

I seriously doubt that most conservative men are doing childcare duty, cooking, cleaning after work. I'm sure there are a few, but I doubt the vast majority of conservative men are what you are describing. Conservative men aren't supportive of women's rights. That's laughable. If your kid came out as gay, your conservative DH more than likely wouldn't support gay marriage. If your DD was raped, your conservative DH supports a party that wants to force your DD to have her rapist's baby.

If your DH doesn't believe in the above, then your DH should really leave the R party because the GOP has left your DH.

I'm actually a former R, and left a long time ago.

Unless they are voting in support of these policies, it is lip service.

Do YOU only vote on party line?

At this point, the right is trying to do real harm to my family. My family , like many families, includes married gay member and members that have had an abortion. Unless I want them turned into criminals from being hardworking, upstanding citizens, I need to keep these people and their abusive policies away and out of power.

Yes. And conservatives Agee with you and have stopped voting for republicans.
