If the average American were asked what they imagine the priorities of the feminist movement are these days, most people would likely cite concerns like “fighting abortion bans” or “getting justice for sexual violence victims” or boring mainstays like “equal pay for equal work.” But if you listen in to the world of right-wing social media influencers, they have a different answer. To them, feminists are single-mindedly obsessed with destroying women who identify as “tradwives.”

    My conservative friend is literally this person.

    His mother was his “slave” and now he found an “asian slave.” He doesn’t cook or clean or anything really. He’s even told me to look for foreign women because “white women” don’t want to do things for you like others will.

    She does all the work at home and he makes money. He’s living the 1950s conservative dream…

        Congratulations!!

        I’m perpetually single so I don’t actually have a dog in this fight, but I’d like to think I would be the same as you in that situation lol

            I guess a 50/50 (ish) is a nice place to start exploring where the two participants in the union have their strengths. Congratz on the wedding, I hope your wife get’s well soon!

      I dislike your friend so much, just from your description of them, that I caught myself wanting to down vote your post.

      Sorry friend lemming, thanks for the hard share.

        Lol thanks for resisting! Just remember the downvote button was “invented” to filter out distractions from the discussion, it’s not about what we like or don’t like but whether it’s relevant to the conversation! :)

      And I’ll bet you dollars to donuts he will say he’s not a racist because he’s married to an Asian.

      What does asian slave even mean? Like he literally went to SE Asia and got someone or was there an Asian girl he met that happened to enjoy being a housewife?

        I’ve heard from several people who are in an older generation than I am about this, but it goes something like this: Date foreigners, and even better, if you can go to that country for a little while and find someone willing to be your wife there, marry them and bring them back.

        It’s always been off-putting when someone can say things like that in an earnest manner.
