Personally, I thought this was a no-brainer. Living a life of submission and duty to someone who can treat you as property while calling it “love” is a very niche fetish, and certainly not going to be anywhere close to the utopia conservative Christians claim it should be.
But hey, don’t take my word for it. Don’t take the word of sociologists and psychologists who study the matter. Certainly don’t listen to feminists who have their own opinions on a woman’s proper role in society.
Listen to the women who lived it.
Some folks will say “well, if they’re happy with the ife they’re living, that’s what matters!”
The fact is, they were never given a choice. They did not know they had an option. They are told that is their sole purpose.
I was raised on this shit. Not to the intense extremes, but close. Me and every single one of my sisters are fucked up from the expectations of this kind of life we had growing up. Hell, my mom birthed ten kids!! What other purpose does a woman have other than pleasing & serving their husband, having children, and keeping everything in order? Your worth and value as a human being is 0 if you do not conform. You have failed your ultimate purpose and are selfishly living in sin if you pursue anything for yourself— travel, a job, further education… you are not fulfilling your purpose!
It’s sick and fucks you up.
