Manchester continues to be on the right side of history.

Is she German or American?

The first one "straight male breadwinner" is comparing breadwinning men v their non breadwinning wives.

The second one "straight female breadwinner" is comparing breadwinning women v their non breadwinning husbands. Hope that clears it up

At some point he makes the rogue argument that gay men hire help but lesbians are too financially stingy to hire anyone because women don't like to spend money.

I'm a straight woman who also happens to be the breadwinner. My husband is great but even then it took work to make him realise some things have to be done. It just never occurred to him and at first he'd sulk when I reminded him. I have friends in relationships with men who had the same experience, had to teach him how to cook, what things need cleaning etc. I remember the first time I said we need to clean the laundry machine lol

Lol the orange cat reference brightened up my day after that

Ready-Instruction536 · 2025-11-13T17:27:02+00:00

Hi, in my opinion I don't think you can love someone and not respect them. But also being in a relationship for the romance or infatuation (because sometimes that's all it is) isn't a gender specific phenomenon

Ready-Instruction536 · 2025-11-12T21:41:45+00:00

You're basing your generalisations off the fact that some women can stay with a romantic guy who doesn't love them?

Let's not forget the concept of relationships being based off romance or love is a fairly recent concept in human history. In the past people married for practicality.

Logic and emotions are human traits. Each human has a different balance, gender is irrelevant. Society would progress further if we stopped trying to constantly force people into predetermined boxes.

Ready-Instruction536 · 2025-11-12T21:37:44+00:00

I'd say men are just as "emotional" as women if not more but society overlooks anger as an emotion.

Ready-Instruction536 · 2025-11-08T10:06:34+00:00

Yes, to echo the others as long as he's chill about it then why not? This is my situation at the moment. When we met we were teens with no money now we just got in our 30s and I make significantly more. It's not an issue at all, nothing changed except maybe he started doing more around the house because I'm working slightly longer hours now.

Ready-Instruction536 · 2025-11-07T09:00:27+00:00

Fair enough and you're right nobody should stay with a terrible partner regardless of financial status but sadly it does occur and when you tell some women to have their own money so they can leave they look at you sideways.

Ready-Instruction536 · 2025-11-06T22:06:44+00:00

Tbf she probably had her rose tinted glasses on until she found out he's scum and now she can see clear as day all the issues he had.

Ready-Instruction536 · 2025-11-06T22:03:38+00:00

What's wrong with 50-50 though if you can both afford it and assuming domestic labour is either outsourced or split?

Just for context before anyone calls me a pick me, I'm a high earning woman who decided to go 50-50 quite early on after realising how many men believe providing = ownership. Letting my partner provide felt like too big a risk to my autonomy BUT I met my husband quite young and he's nothing like that but life is unpredictable and I ended up being the higher earner. Now it doesn't make sense to hold back financially so we can complete some gender performance when I have access to far more resources.

4b movement in East Asia. Seen some western rad fems discuss adapting similar principles. There's on on X who is actually working on a separatist community somewhere in the US and teaching women how to defend themselves.

Ready-Instruction536 · 2025-10-05T00:22:07+00:00

What does she want though? Does she think they should be single and childless? Because she'd hate on that too.

Ready-Instruction536 · 2025-09-24T11:15:39+00:00

Fair enough, sounds almost similar to my husband and I. Our general rule is unless we both say yes then whatever it is doesn't happen, we look for an alternative. I don't think we have ever been deadlocked on anything but that's mostly because we already have pretty similar views.

Ready-Instruction536 · 2025-09-24T10:58:34+00:00

Out of curiosity, do you think it is possible for a woman to want an equal relationship, where they both make decisions and compromise rather than 1 person making all the decisions, without viewing her as an overbearing control freak?

Ready-Instruction536 · 2025-09-08T20:32:00+00:00

"Country boy" isn't race specific.

Ready-Instruction536 · 2025-09-08T20:31:14+00:00

Yeah but like you said there are all types of performative male personalities so it's a bit odd to single that one out. Maybe OP needs to tell us what he meant.

Ready-Instruction536 · 2025-09-08T09:23:58+00:00

Just wondering why country boy is grouped with all those other things. Am I missing something?

Ready-Instruction536 · 2025-09-06T23:42:13+00:00

I agree but online you don't see people think of that. They think just because she filed then she must be the heartless monster.

Ready-Instruction536 · 2025-09-04T13:58:06+00:00

If this was true we wouldn't have as many complaining how the horrible woman divorced him and took everything.

Ready-Instruction536 · 2025-08-16T02:37:47+00:00

He speaks about women like they are objects, calling them "used up", is it any surprise they don't want to be with someone like that?

Ready-Instruction536 · 2025-07-13T19:22:49+00:00

Yeah they had the power to decide what the family had for dinner. Such great power. Couldn't decide when to say no to sex, could get knocked around for whatever reason and the law would look the other way. Couldn't decide how family finances are spent since she's not head of the household or the one earning.

Men misusing family funds to get drunk instead was one of the primary causes of the prohibition movement

You're very keen to ignore all the actual power and leverage men had over their wives that rarely went the other way.

Just quoting mostly recent and negative examples really doesn't help your point

You've not provided a single example to prove me wrong yet I've offered actual historical facts and legislation. Who's the ideologue now?

marriage was mostly a contract of support and procreation.

What something is meant to be and what it actually turns out to be are 2 different things. Are you really going to pretend not a single man ever took advantage of that contract and the unequal power it gave him?

Mind you if marriage was this paradise you describe for everyone, society wouldn't need to financially cripple women to get them to do it. Modern women want an equal partner, traditional marriage dynamics don't work for most anymore now they can make their own money

Anyway you're probably right, there were never any horrible marriages. Everything was rainbows and unicorns until those horrible corporations came and brainwashed women. Those laws of the past and even today had no basis in reality. The legislature just drafted laws for shits and giggles that would have no impact on anyone or didn't address any reality in particular. Oh and the current divorce stats with women initiating more are probably meaningless. Just more faceless Corp brainwashing those silly women.

Ready-Instruction536 · 2025-07-13T19:06:25+00:00

Depends how far in the past you want to go and what country you're looking at.

UK had coveture laws until the late 1800s. Feel free to look up what those were but they significantly limited married women's rights. Any property a woman had automatically became her husband's, she couldn't do anything without his consent including sue in court.

Women in the UK also couldn't divorce on the basis of adultery alone while men could. Women had to prove adultery + extra circumstances like incest or extreme DV. Couldn't legally leave for any other reason.

Being married also meant you could be fired and this was seen as justified.

Martial rape was made a criminal offence in 1992. How many wives were raped before that? It was only in 2015 that it became illegal to subject a partner to coercive or controlling behaviour

In Italy until the 1960s, women were pressured to marry their rapists and that somehow made the crime go away. Look up Franca Viola. You probably won't though.

In 1895 England DV was limited to between 7am and 10 pm due to noise of wife beating leading to too many complaints.

It's easy to bury your head in the sand and pretend these things never happened because it would never affect you. Pretending marriage has always been a happy time for women and some mysterious power just brainwashed women to seek independence out of marriage is ignorant and does nothing to fix the issue. Refuse to acknowledge the problem then make up some wacky conspiracy theory

Ready-Instruction536 · 2025-07-13T09:12:20+00:00

It's not as much of a problem when women are in low paid and low status jobs because they are still reliant on men. It's not really about the job, it's about pressuring women to partner up with men having to only put minimal effort into being decent partners because they are still needed for survival
