Half of them want the woman to do all the domestic work and emotional support AND have a full time job AND what’s his is his and what’s hers is his…

and the other half want the woman to do all the domestic work and emotional support AND stay out of the workplace or most other public places for that matter AND have no friends or outside interests.

I am increasingly disturbed by the increase in the number of young men seeking out misogynistic theocratic environments. It’s like they saw The Handmaid’s Tale and decided that being a Commander, or even a Guardian, was a pretty sweet deal: worship and obey, and get your job and wife all set up and assigned to you. And conversely at the same time, young women are leaving those environments en masse. They’ve seen The Handmaid’s Tale and they know how it starts out. Nothing changes instantly: in a gradually heating bathtub you’d be boiled to death before you knew it.

(NB: I so hate those names being used for the former Redskins and Indians. I think there was a certain amount to it of FY, women, we know you know and we’re going to do it anyway. These names are market researched and tested to the max, and there’s no way that no one along the way said Um, don’t you think that’s just a little too THT? Just a bit too deliberate to qualify as coincidence IMHO.)
