  1. I was sexually harassed by a 40-50 year old woman once and I was 18 at the time. I still feel uneasy thinking back at it, though luckily nowhere near traumatised. I CANNOT imagine how a 14 year old boy would feel about literal rape. That shit is mentally scarring.

  2. The fear of tradwives probably comes from two places; firstly even though it is their choice, it is in fact a choice that places a lot more power in the husband's hands, in the relationship dynamic. He has the financial power, earning the income of the household. This choice definitely creates a power imbalance in relationships, and to feminists this can be seen as inherently anti feminist, ESPECIALLY when promoted as a great choice towards other women without mentioning the negative sides. Plus, if tradwives become the norm, this not only has influence on the power dynamic between partners in a relationship, but on the power/influence of women in society in general. In this sense also, a feminist might see this trend as turning back progress despite being a choice. But as Shoe rightly points out, it is above all their own choice. Criticism of them painting a overglorified one-sided picture of what being a tradwife entails, could be valid though. Secondly, this trend very much seems to cement being a stay-at-home parent as an inherently feminine thing. That is an issue because this reinforces gender roles that we probably should be getting rid of. In each relationship, both partners will have to discuss how they will deal with kids and household chores. Usually this at least will involve one parent working less than the other (or not at all). It should not matter whether it is the man or woman that stays at home. We should separate being a household parent from being feminine, because this idea that they are connected pushes women into this role as a standard. It also prevents couples from coming to solutions that involve shared or alternate (as Shoe mentions about her upbringing) household roles, because pushing the woman into this role is seen as "natural" in society. This is wrong. A stay-at-home parent trend would be a lot better than a "tradwife" trend that portrays staying at home as inherently feminine and uses glorified imagery from a very patriarchal past. Knowingly or unknowingly they are reinforcing gender stereotypes. They can choose to live this lifestyle and enjoy it without falling into this unfortunate trap that may harm society.

  3. Problem is you’re pretending that there even js a difference between an 18+ site and Twitch. The only material difference is the lousy “are you 18” pop up. And the harsh truth is that porn sites often market their content towards minors as well. This meme porn nonsense or whatever they’re up to today is clearly aimed at very young, immature people. And yeah maybe an 18 year old still would like that, but let’s be honest it’s mostly teens around 16 that are gonna be interested in it. The truth is that ACTUAL porn sites are, probably knowingly, trying to attract minors to them. And kids can braindead easily, even accidentally, enter these full on porn sites. And besides the childish stuff, most of this porn portrays women as sex objects, not full persons with their own needs. Like 90% of porn is a woman being used in some way, not a couple having mutually pleasurable sex. It’s all based on the male gaze in a very toxic, even dehumanising way. It’s like anti-feminist brainwashing at this point, training you to see women only as objects to pleasure men. It’s disgusting and incredibly damaging. It has a real life effect in how men see real life women. All sexual harassment, r4pe, etc is based on men who, to varying degrees, see women as basically objects to use, rather than a fully fledged person. Porn is spreading this way of thinking far and wide. It causes actual harm, it’s an epidemic of dehumanisation and harm
