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 🤷‍♂️

it's not clear to me if these people believe this as a personal preference, are saying "that's fine" as commentary on a 3rd party's relationship, or as an claim of how society ought to be.
