It sounded like one of the many joyless feminist shrews on Reddit in the beginning paragraph but it turned into the diametrically opposite. haha
The seed may have been planted though. Some time, maybe years from now, he'll mildly inconvenience her on a bad day again and she'll think back that maybe those redditors were right that she is being oppressed, and should rightfully take everything from him for doing that.
The greed and selfishness that feminists cheer for is a slow and insidious rot.
According to her post, they’ve already been together 11 years, and in this case she’s very clearly taken his side against outside pressure. Not even a halfhearted “come on, you’re overreacting,” but a wholehearted “wow, you people are insane and I love my husband” response.
Obviously, we’ll never know for sure, but I choose to believe you are being needlessly pessimistic.
Eh, I've seen perfectly reasonable women hit midlife discontent in their 40s and suddenly fall for the venom telling them it's all men's fault and reverse course completely.
The sisterhood groupthink is a powerful drug, and like other drugs it's most dangerously alluring when you're at a low point in life.

The video above shows that Bandage is correct. I'm not trying to be confrontational, just highlighting that women are emotionally malleable and Bandage Bandolier is correct, it could be some inconvenience at some point in the future that causes her to divorce her husband after recalling the impetus set by Reddit users.
80% of divorces are initiated by women, and sometimes it's for seemingly asinine things, such as "I was bored", or "I needed to find myself", even when the husband did absolutely everything right.
SSM has covered over 3,000 stories across his multiple channels, and stories like the one in the OP are a dime a dozen, where a woman is told that her husband is bad for X,Y,Z reasons and she decides, on a whim, to divorce him. In this case, she defended him in the thread, but nearly everywhere else on social media she's receiving the same message about how she can "do better" (even though realistically she can't).
Sure, she's defending him now in that thread, but all it takes is a moment for her to give in to her "feelz" and she will be visiting a divorce lawyer in no time flat. Again, these stories are a dime a dozen, and a bunch of guys write in to channels like SSM where they recount how they did everything right but then the wife up and decides to divorce him.
Remember, 50% of women who claim to be happily married already have a backup replacement for their husband: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15BVtWbsweo

It's not pessimism, it's just facts.
