I seem to have radicalized a bit too quickly. Does anyone have advice for this particular scenario (hexbear.net)

Oh my. It seems like a shitload of otherwise progressive people have no qualms about the idea of a traditional marriage and the man retaining most of the control by default.

This makes me very uncomfortable because I have met some women who have internalized this idea (idk is it that patriarchy or am I overreacting?) which is just so weird to me.

Like, you’re a left-leaning person up until the point where you’re happy to be in a relationship with a cishet man who controls you now. This is society I guess 🤷‍♂️

I mean this post is vague enough that I could be completely off base but, are you sure you're not misinterpreting? I think I know a grand total of one or two women like that, and even then they probably wouldn't openly present their opinion as such.

wanting the trappings of a happy and successful heterosexual life =/= wanting/accepting patriarchy or male control in their marriage. They might say that they would never marry a man who would exercise such control over them, even if society does grant it, or they might have other explanations for their behavior, the only way to know is asking
