This is the lie that most women swallow wholesale to abandon being mothers though. They are sold the emotional appeal of “girlboss” where they are “making a difference” and “changing the world”. This is why so many suffer from main character syndrome and have a savior complex while telling themselves their hedonism is their reward for “making the world a better place”.
half of all women want to be a SAHM before having a baby. almost all the rest want to be a SAHM, quit work indefinitely, as soon as they have that first baby. the ones who genuinely want to keep working are <5% of the population. the problem is doubling the labor supply crashed a lot of careers, which forces both parents to work in most cases just to make ends meet.
but so if the guy can cover it, she'll happily quit indefinitely.
Kind of related, and not saying you're implying otherwise, but another huge problem is even among women who want to be SAHM, what percentage of those are eager to have 3+ kids?
One of the more effective ways out of our current predicaments are for solid families and good parents to start having more kids. At bare minimum, that means 3+. The percentage of women, even the "conservative" ones, who are chomping at the bit to have that many kids is very low.
They just want to have one or two kids, "hold serve" in their minds, and be glorified for it forever as if they've fulfilled their sacred duty to society as a woman.
a woman who has not had 3+ children, and doesn't have a medical exuse for not doing so, hasn't fulfilled shit. society should shame them.
every major culture has found invariably that there are both benefits and burdens that come with each sex. women have the social obligation of procreation, will never face destitution, but because they must be derisked, are much less likely to reap the rewards of risk. men have the social obligation of disposability and self sacrifice, and because they risk total ruin, are much more likely to reap the rewards of that risk. and when either side doesn't do their part, they are actively harming society. societies that fail to acknowledge this fall into nihilism and hedonism, and then they collapse or are conquered by societies that observe this.
people can shit on religion all they want, but nothing has ever been stronger at compelling this than religion, particularly christianity and islam.
but you're not wrong... far too many modern women wanting men to keep up men's side of the social contract while women are not keeping up their own. genetic testing shows that <20% of men who have ever lived have successfully procreated, while over 80%+ of women have. and today, we now have a majority of women who are nearing the end of childbearing age and yet have no children, not even a prospective father. so now women are doing to themselves what has previously been done to men. and society will be devastated because of it. even worldbank and JP morgan are ripping them for it because this shit compounds into so many other problems. populations are in massive contraction, which means social programs are mathematically guaranteed to collapse (they all require more aggregate payors by $$$ than payees, and a contracting population means that's upside down). shit, medicare has had massive cuts over the last 17ish years, and yet both medicare and social security collapse in 2033 because women for too many generations stopped having babies.
This is why so many suffer from main character syndrome and have a savior complex while telling themselves their hedonism is their reward for “making the world a better place”.
It's wild. There was a story on SSM where a cheating wife literally told herself this to compensate for the guilt she had for cheating on her husband.
In the confession she wrote out (at the behest of her therapist and as a way to try to win back her husband's trust (spoiler: it did not work)) she explained something very similar to that, only in the inverse: that she did good things for her husband as a reward for feeling guilty about cheating on him.

Meanwhile the ones that stay home to raise their kids are genuinely making a difference.
I really wish we could get society to stop lying to women about absolutely everything.
to be honest, it doesn't take much.

That would mean doing something about mass media, which we all know, is literally another six gorillion holocausts.

Good. Cheaters should be tarred and feathered both literally and in other ways.
Dude nobody’s suffering. The woman in the post is taking the piss
