whatta ya gonna do, people want to be treated like pets, I guess ya let them

See here’s my problem. They’re being told this by men. Older men, that want to keep them in the house where they know where they are, barefoot and pregnant. It’s horrifying.

I’d be really curious, if left to their own devices, they would come to this on their own. If it wasn’t being preached to them by a bunch of uptight old geezers. It’s fucking brainwashing, is what it is.

I have members of my family who have chosen to be at-home moms, but they have equal partnerships with their husbands. Instead of having nannys raise their kids, they’re doing it themselves, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But this isn’t that. This is the height of misogyny where their fathers (and who knows what other men) have complete control of what they do… unless they want to go “bargain-hunting” I guess. Whoopie.

One day they’ll hit 40 and realize how much of life they missed, when all they have to show for their lives are scars from the abuse.
