The Ambition Penalty by
@stefanieoconnell.bsky.social
is fantastic. It is chock full of data (including research from Dr. Elizabeth Legerski who teaches at my alma mater, the University of North Dakota). She proves that individual choice and empowerment will not get us to gender equality.

This really just drives home how many men are, instead of wanting to be partners and mates, simply looking to trap another human being for forced domestic labour.

"If she has her own house, what will she need me for?" I don't know, dude, maybe be cool and fun to be around and be happy for her success instead being whiny little sad-ass troll about it?

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

Tradwives aren't performing a lifestyle choice, they are engaging in benevolent sexism. Benevolent sexism correlates with greater acceptance of intimate partner violence toward women, a larger gender gap in unpaid domestic labor and fewer women in paid labor

I'd love to see women talk about the inequity in their relationships without saying 'it's just what made sense'. We might have to cope with patriarchy, but we don't have to justify or defend it.

Looking back at the "tradwife" and related trends in 2024, like the "I can't pay my mortgage" TikToks. What's remarkable is how fake it all is. In reality, women are more independent than ever. It's propaganda more than a trend.
