Literally had someone arguing that it’s misogynistic and disrespectful to tell them to have a backup plan and warn them about the risks 🫩

I swear, women hate seeing other women happy & Modern day “feminist” are so brainwashed to think everything’s oppressive/misogynistic.

We love seeing other women be happy. But we also know that, now that it’s been mostly destigmatized, most marriages now end in divorce, and that women need to have a safety net, even if it’s their dream to be a sahm. Feminism isn’t seeing everything as oppressive or misogynistic. Feminism is letting women have a choice in their future. And that includes sahm, a career, joining a convent, and having a safety net for the probable divorce heading the sahm’s way.

I agree with your definition of feminism. I get A LOT of shit from “feminists” for being a stay at home wife & taking a traditional role. I do it to make his daily life easier when he gets home from work and so we can relax together. He built a financial safety net for me (intended use if he dies lol but I’ll also have access to it if divorced). I just don’t understand why many modern day feminist frown upon this

It’s probably one of two things: they’re not hearing your explanation about the safety net (either by you not mention it, or they’re not hearing you), or they’re not real feminists but rather just man haters. Real feminists want all women to be happy, and have a full say in their future. There’s a social media trend my hairstylist put me onto: it’s women who say something like, “I’m a feminist. I [insert traditionally masculine job, like fly a plane or weld, or work on cars,here]. And I cook.”

If I were to get in on the trend, mine would be: “I’m a feminist. I’m a ship’s engineering officer, working on huge diesel engines. And I cook.”
