"I thought we'd have a Martha" sobs woman who watched The Handmaids Tale and took entirely the wrong message from it.
"But... But I was supposed to be the one at the fancy baby shower while not being pregnant myself!"'she persisted.
Mfw the man wants a "trad wife" but doesn't want to be a trad husband

I’m generally a proponent of equal treatment, but when some alt-right hate monger whines about not getting it, I have zero sympathy.
It's like when you tell someone not to burn their hand by touching a hot stove but they do it anyway.
Like, yes, I STILL support you not touching the stove, but I don't feel sorry for you.
But... I never thought the leopards would eat MY face!
Oh thank you, I never understood that previously.
Exactly, you’ve been condemning the movement that demands people treat you like a person. What did you expect? I still oppose the misogyny you face, but you did go looking for it
This should sum up the entire thing: Ben Shapiro, who's wife is a doctor, doesn't understand that women's vaginas get when when they're sexually aroused.

I thought it was not that she didn't know about the wetness (self lubrication), more that she didn't understand the squirting orgasm, which is what the track is talking about at one point.
Flying Squid was saying that Ben Shapiro himself doesn't understand women's self-lubrication, and also that his wife is a doctor.

Ben's more of a foot man than a pee man.
I can only image their sex life is either very ridged, and awkward, or it's like sex dungeon stuff.

Just give them all the gross, sweaty, smelly sex they think they’re owed for talking to you. That’s how they see it, and they certainly aren’t going to change. If anything, they’ll get worse.
Or maybe rethink who you’re in bed with.
Ah, so they're looking for some diversity, equity and inclusion in the alt right movement. Brilliant.
That was a pretty old headline, nowadays the Alt-Right women are all about the trad-wife fetish
They support it performatively because it gives them clout, and often are dumb enough to follow along. Most of them hate it once they experience it for long enough, though. Look at Lauren Southern suddenly denouncing her "trad partner" having been abusive for years even while she was promoting it.
Why I called it a fetish, it really is just people getting weird about playing house until they get tired of it and have to figure out what actually being a homemaking unit with their partner looks like. It's the sex equivalent of all those Mormon dudes who confessed they wouldn't have had so many kids if they knew that one day they were gonna be stuck with them all under one roof during the COVID lockdowns.
Even women actively saying they're looking for that relationship will probably admit once prodded that they're only willing to abide that dynamic with a partner who genuinely pulls the other half of the ship and who genuinely respects and shows proper appreciation of the wife's full time homemaking, y'know, someone who makes them feel like a partner instead of a sex doll with a cooking mode.
The people who adhere the most to trad-wife lifestyles are probably also the people who'd be the least interested in men who are being sold on the trad-wife fad as the ideal woman.
Well what did you expect you dingdongs.
What publication is this from
Not sure, but Laura Southern had a moment like this and documented it for the world to read.
That article tried to "both sides" so hard it made my brain hurt.
"I was a liberal, now I'm a conservative; she's a fascist and she's still a fascist but she's upset that fascists are being fascist towards HER - do we have anything in common?"
Spoiler: yes.
That was a really interesting read with a lot more expansion and nuance than I expected at first, thanks!
For those reading it’s a lot more thorough than simply “right wing men beat women” or something. Worth checking out
It's a challenge.
Southern is still a complex (and, for me, thoroughly unlikable) person with odious views, but it's an interesting journey if for no other reason than you can see just how powerful a force tribalism is in human psychology; how it lets people get right up to the point of dealing with the incongruity of their tribe versus their safety/well-being/reality.
The other place I saw this is in watching the flat-Earther documentary Behind the Curve: there's moments in it when you can see people get within a hair's breath of rationalization, but get held back not by stupidity, or ignorance, but tribalism.
We make a big mistake in thinking that the reason people are the way they are because of ignorance or stupidity. That's not it; they are the way they are because human tribalism has millions of years of success behind it. Up until, oh, the last hundred years or so, ostracism meant real death, so our monkey brains, though millions of years of selection, developed group cohesion and social strategies to help us stay within our in-group. Unfortunately, in the last century or so, that tribal instinct is proving maladaptive.
It's a little like how we're evolved to process sugar, which has hundreds of millions of positive evolutionary enforcement, only to fail at the outside-context problem that is McDonalds & Coca Cola.
I’m actually very much of the same mindset as you. For instance, I often frame QAnon folks, particularly those who are not on YouTube profiting, as victims. Something is wrong in their life and a bad person sold them incorrect solution, but a solution all the same.

Oh this is from 7 years ago lol I saw this post and thought “didn’t we already kind of establish this in the media a while back?”
Would've been better without the colors
i think the colors are meant to be the regions of the "political compass", meaning all those political regions laugh about it.
I know, and I'm saying the meme would be better without it. The political compass colors add nothing to it
