If the concept of being on equal footing breaks up a marriage, it wasn't a healthy relationship to begin with.

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

This is an underrated statement. Far too many want a parent / life manager instead of a partner.
Yep!! They want a parent they can have sex with. That's not equality.
Cut out the middle man: kill your father and shag your mum 👍
Hi IndiBrony, this community has a rule that only women are permitted to comment or post, so please don't comment any more. Hope you understand 💛
Ugh, this! My dad constantly talked down to my mom and called her stupid. It definitely messed up my siblings and I idea of what it means to be a woman. I can’t believe that I thought she deserved it at times. It wasn’t until I had been out of the house for a few years that I could see clearly what was going on, and encouraged her to leave (she did, and is much happier now).
That's not good to be around, and not a good relationship to have modelled to you. I'm not surprised you started to think she deserved it, you were literally being taught that.
Agree with your point and glad you helped your mom fix her life ! The schoolmarm in me wants to point out it's "my siblings' and my idea"
My father was remarkably progressive for the times, especially considering he was in the military.
He still treated my mother as somewhat of a second class citizen in the home (despite treating her better than 99.44% of the men around him in our neighbourhoods around the world).
Anybody who thought women had it better off in the '50s is just plain ignorant. Literally the moment women could start initiating divorces, the divorce rate shot sky-high. This isn't the fault of being able to divorce…
Or that families must be 2 parents and kids. A single person could adopt a kiddo and - BAM - that's a family.
Marriage is just a BDSM kink for normies
I think you forgot to put quotes around that last word - IMHO, there's little that should be considered "normal" when it comes to those people who are into that fetish.
hey, thanks for your comment SanctimoniousApe - just wanted to let you know this community is women-only and we have a rule that only women are permitted to comment or post, so please refrain from commenting here again. Thanks so much, and hope you understand 💛
I do understand, but don't agree. IMHO, if my contributions are otherwise valid, then my actual gender should be irrelevant. Especially in a forum open to public view and participation, preventing someone who may have valid input from responding just because of their gender seems absurd to me.
I usually browse "All Posts" (across all servers & communities) by default without much concern for what specific community I'm looking at in order to avoid locking myself into echo chambers (among other benefits of seeing posts I might otherwise not see). I'm deliberately attempting to avoid limiting what types of perspectives I see so that I can strive to be as well-rounded & informed a person as I can manage to be.
Regardless, I've no desire to cause trouble. Therefore I will block your community in order to ensure I don't unintentionally stir the pot.
Chao.
Delicious tea
I feel like women should stop wasting time and just grow and keep the men as pets
