About this episode

The episode discusses the problematic nature of husbands giving allowances to stay-at-home mothers and wives, framing it as a form of financial abuse and a perpetuation of patriarchal norms.

Husbands giving SAHWs and SAHMs an "allowance" is highly problematic at best as it infantlizes their wives and mothers as well as minimizes their contributions to the household while at worst is absolutely financial abuse. The patriarchal provider propaganda is going strong and doing its best to push and normalize their trad wife aesthetic but NOT ON MY WATCH! #patriarchy #tradwife #sahm 1:07 for the wives but girlfriends please stay 2:24 choosing to be a SAHW/ SAHM 4:10 no woman ever thinks it'll be them 6:35 normalizing abuse 11:56 listen to older women 13:56 when children become a factor 17:19 good enough to be a mother but not a wife 23:41 what's the solution? 26:23 equality versus equity 30:37 money does NOT come from men
