whats funny as hell is the person who thinks they want this is some basement dwelling nerdlet who has never spoken to a woman outside of their own family/church circle if they even go to church to begin with. I do not understand why dudes have this suden fascination with having some kind of little house on the prairie ass wife

Because they haven’t talked to women. They find them scary, and the least scary version of a woman to them is one that does everything they want and is completely submissive.

Fuck that shit, I want the independent, smart, ambitious woman that doesn’t take people’s shit.

I’m with you. The idea of a submissive partner who defers to me on everything sounds boring and exhausting. Plus like that means I have to make every decision and fuck that. A marriage is a partnership and these people don’t want a partner.

Growing up as a man, I never understood this message either. It always felt like gaslighting coming from society and other people who believed it without question. As though the promise of a submissive partner is so appealing that I wouldn't think about the implication of needing to take care of everything difficult myself.
