Comment on Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny
Fedditor385@lemmy.world 2 days agoTrue, if we are talking as if today was 1950 and the socioeconomic situation were the same. But it’s not. There’s almost 80 years of progress and the socioeconomic situation is not even comparable. So, although true it was a problem 80 years ago, its a bit shortsigthed to claim same applies today.

The 1950s was when women were relegated to the role of housewife. You are asking why women don’t want to be relegated to that role.

There was nothing wrong with that role then, and there is nothing wrong with the role now. The main difference is that in 1950 women had no choice but to be a housewife, and today women have choices, and when comparing them, being a housewife doesn’t look half as bad.

The lack of income independent from your spouse is a huge argument against being a housewife.
