The horrible irony is that men (NAM, but/and it’s often the same men who are some measure of misogynistic barbarian) then complain bitterly about women wanting or expecting them to be providers and protectors. If they take away women‘s rights and capacity to be independent and self supporting, they can’t then be surprised or shocked or outraged by those women then being obliged to turn elsewhere (the men, the state) to seek support.
But then, god forbid they end up as single mothers unable to do all the childcare, house are, financial care, social care that a household demands, because the man can’t or won’t provide the very thing they claim to extol and worship.
There‘s a horrible and very stupid dichotomy at play here, and I see it very large in the USA. Women/mothers must abide by the idealologies set out by NAM men, but when those men let them down and they end up alone or fleeing, and sometimes either or both those things while still stuck in a relationship with the man, it’s the women who have failed, who are despised for working, or not working enough, or working in the wrong way, or at the wrong job, or for “suckling on the teat of the state”. Or for not being desirable enough, mother enough, housewife enough.
Fuck this shit. Burn it down
NAMNAW obvs.
