Nah, there's nothing wrong with staying at home. And, subservience is a kink, we don't shame those, right?
The problem is when people would force this norm on others (you, dude, are not allowed to stay at home in this arrangement; my marriage would be illegal and I wouldn't be allowed to vote). Thankfully, it's pretty fringe. But it's always a little spooky to read about that side of my family in the news. The fringe is growing, and they're coming after my civil liberties.
- mantas 4y agoSo far it's vice versa. My wife is staying at home with our 3 y/o. It's unbelievable how many people try to push her back into workforce. Especially other women. It feels like women no longer has the right to choose.
- pfortuny 4y agoAs if your wife did not work… That is what they think (“what, so you have no job?”).
- mantas 4y agoYes. Somehow same stuff becomes a proper work if we hired a nanny. I guess „work“ depends on generating GDP for many people. Sort of like me cooking dinner is not work, yet cook at a restaurant is working.
- orwin 4y ago> I guess „work“ depends on generating GDP for many people Exactly. If a city council hire a gardener, buy his tools and pay him 40k/yr, the nominal GDP will be 40k (+ the tool's prices for the first year and their maintenance costs). If the city council pay a company 80k/yr to take care of the same, they will hire a gardener 40k, buy tools, and the GDP will be 120k/yr (+ tools prices etc). Even though the production was the same. If you wife worked and you had to pay a nanny, the GDP of your country would rise more than if the nanny was formed to take on your wife job.
- mantas 4y agoI know the numbers. But IMO that's wrong. Dinner is dinner, wether I cooked it myself or paid someone to cook it for me. Rat race for GDP without context must die.

- klyrs 4y agoWhile I agree with you that the social pressure is a bad thing; that's social pressure, not legal force. Women have the right to choose, but other women also have the right to voice their opinions -- even if we don't like them.
- mantas 4y agoWell, looks like it's not a problem then. And it doesn't look like they're for your „civil liberties“. Unless you don't like them voicing their opinions and their choices?
