Do you even read this OP? Those women were victims and overtly treated as second class citizens and so are a lot of women today - because marriage is still mostly constructed as a patriarchal institution where women are treated largely as servants of men. It's the main reason that women initiate 69% of divorces and why most women who have been married have no interest in it ever again. It’s a big reason why the marriage rate and the birth rate are plummeting.

Marital rape is absolutely still a thing - that has loopholes to its legality even today. Domestic abuse is still a thing, but it was never taken seriously AT ALL until the feminists of the 1970s demanded that it be. Rape is not about sex - it's about power and control and 10-14% of married women are raped by their husbands. BE REAL - you don't know squat about what you're talking about.

As also noted in the OP, I stayed home with my son - by choice. It's fine if women want to do that, but most can't afford today and it should also just be one choice out of many that is acceptable - rather than being seen as aberrant if you don't want to. And don't tell me that "nobody" has a problem with women wanting to be astronauts, etc. Clearly Fox News does or they wouldn't be running clips of a crying 38 year old lamenting that "feminism ruined my life because now I wish I'd had a child." I wouldn't have written this OP if I hadn't heard so much lately about how women would be "happier" at home. And, the rampant sexual harassment that takes place in a lot of industries today is about pressuring women out of those industries. Again, you don't know the first thing about what you are flapping your gums about.

First off, feminism never discouraged having children - it just noted all the obstacles to that if you also wanted to hold a job outside the home because unlike ever other developed nation, American women get zero support for that. Secondly, those women who lost their factory jobs in WWII were pissed. It's not for you to decide what's best for other people and whether or not they should want it. Men didn't "need" to provide for their wives - that was simply the narrative that was pushed. Men provide and women stay at home - even if neither one wanted to be shoved into those roles. How about letting people do what they want to do? It's not like all men were happy in that dynamic either.

Women are allowed to seek sex if they want that. Deciding they deserve to be raped for it just shows what kind of a person you truly are. I don't have any more time to waste on someone like that.
