They’re pushing for more and more. All the recent talk about increasing the retirement age. The idea that being a stay-at-home mother is somehow oppressive and bad, and the solution is two parents working is actually better.

Orthodox Conservatives can’t seem to square that circle. You’re supposed to be a hustler, bringing in those bags, living the ultra-shiekh lifestyle with the giant family and the Mega-McMansion and the expensive cars and clothes and whatever the fuck else. But then you’re also supposed to be this very humble, folk-of-the-earth religious traditionalists with a one-income household and a military career and also I guess you’re supposed to grow your own corn or some shit?
Everything’s just optics. Nothing is real. When push comes to shove, you aren’t supposed to exist at all. Other people are supposed to stare at an AI facsimile if you and be jealous of how well it is doing at everything.
