“No sense in letting my 40 identical gingham blouses go to waste.”
“I wanted to live all my internalized misogyny, not just dream about it.”
“I believe in choosing a marital structure from an arbitrary point in human history and pretending it represents some kind of inviolable rule.”
“I just couldn’t resist the raw sexual magnetism of an antisocial dipshit who gets all his information from podcast clips on YouTube.”

I’m a single cis hetero male in his late 30s. Got to admit I like the trad wife fantasy. But I also recognise it’s just that, a fantasy. Despite the fact it’s unlikely I’d get along with the sort of woman who’d agree to that sort of life, who the hell could even afford it? It’s something politicians can say “they took from you” so we look at “them” to distract from what those polticians are taking from you.
I work as a Linux engineer (big surprise for a Lemming I know). I don’t make a huge amount of money but it’s still more than most people I know. I live a fairly comfortable life here in a not so great part of a somewhat deprived working class English town. I couldn’t afford to live in the countryside, let alone support someone else whilst there. Maybe if I did have a wife who made our clothes, was able to spend time to shop super frugally and made our food from scratch we’d be OK but we’d still live in relative poverty.
Is that the hope of these trad wife influencers? That we’ll be so busy churning our own butter and erecting our own barns like the Amish we’ll have no time to react to them conquering the world?
I thought Linux engineers would make a lot of money? Especially at your age?
I’m a first year apprentice. I’ll be fully qualified when I’m 40. If I start contracting after that I could earn some pretty crazy money. Might start looking for a mail order Mrs then, you never know.
that’s so creepy dude 😬
It was also a joke pardner 🤠
It’s a creepy joke! Don’t make it!
Think I’ll do what I like Chief. Might even go that route out of spite. Good ol’ fashioned spite wife
Do what you will but everyone is going to call you creepy, because you are.
If I could find a woman who could pay all our bills on one wage I’d go house husband in a fucking heartbeat. I’m the better cook anyway.
If you want to make that your personality thats the weird part.
Ah, the executive-level breadwinning wife.
You’re a better cook than a hypothetical woman you haven’t found?
Yeah I meant to type “If my wife could find a job that could…” but my brain backfired.
She might not be a good cook but she really is the brains of the operation.
They kind of petered out on the last handful but the front half had me cracking up.
Danielle really taking a (small) one for the team
