It has to start there.

Nope. Just dye your hair blonde and be thin. That is the stupid American definition of hot.

The key is to have a rich father. I never have to get married or work. I can just have boyfriends and live off my trust.

If I had a dime for the number of people who thought that and something happened to the money…

There no more cheap places anywhere.

The choices are expensive and meth wasteland.

Thank the new WFH era for that. Real estate equity locusts have consumed all the decent places. The SE is becoming unaffordable, and you believe it?

And if you are white collar, good luck finding an opportunity in inexpensive cities.

of course when we add in the economic realities of the world, most women *have* to work for money, feminist ideals be damned, but the economic realities of the world don't dictate that men should do an equal amount of labor at home. So that also screws women over too.

I am a SAHM and the economic realities of the world aren't stacked in my favor either, since it's much, much harder for me to get a job that pays a decent amount after spending so much time out of the workforce, and now that so many women are in the workforce, judges don't want to award alimony anymore. I'm glad I don't have to burn the candle on both ends but it's not a perfect solution either.

Also, women who never get married are more likely to do well financially without killing themselves at home, which is great if they don't want to be married or have kids. But if they do, that's yet another imperfect solution.

The whole issue kinda sucks.

Get rid of one of your cars

Sex is mutual fun for a healthy and loving married couple, not one sided activity. If a SAHP is taking care of kids, home and other life tasks so ambitious spouse can climb ladder, its co-dependency not dependecy.

+1. I can’t believe the misogyny in this thread reducing the role of women who stay at home to rear families to prostitutes. What an utterly abhorrent view of women’s love, labors, and talents.

The OP said she was to be a "trophy wife." That's very different than a SAHM. Trophy wife means a rich guy married you because you're hot, and he wants to show you off and bang you.
