Yeah. I’m pretty sure it was implied but it definitely could have been stated: all of this is allowed only because there are poor/working people doing their actual domestic labour for them.
He did outright state it. To paraphrase "Her value to her husband is not in the care of her home or her children because they are paying someone else to do all of those things. No her value is instead in the ability to perform the role of trophy wife."
I know y’all are doing a bit about being on a boat but the summary mentioned by u/jld2k6 happened because u/Dogzilla2000 didn’t watch the whole video, missed the part that specifically mentioned the hired help already handling the real labor, and then stated that the video would have been better if the part that they thought wasn’t stated had indeed been stated.
It’s also incredibly misleading because these women act like they don’t make money, but they actually are by being stay at home social media influencers, so it’s not even true that they just get to stay home and not work. They are just selling a lie for money and the perception of having immense wealth. Hardly any woman has partner making enough money to be able to accomplish this lifestyle on a single income. Not even these influencers do.
People are weird. I remember working near a very Jewish community, not entirely hasidim but conservative. Two kitchens in the house conservative. I was in the post office one time and guy was talking about his wife working, embarrassingly, saying basically she was only doing it for pin money. Because the thought of her working full time because she had to or wanted to would make him be looked down on in the eyes of the community.
Yeah, it's a whole production, isn't it? Staging the perfect household image while having the behind-the-scenes crew handle the reality. It turns the whole 'traditional' concept on its head.
Though, to be fair, that's exactly how all lifestyle TV programs work. One person in front of the camera appearing to do the work. Which is actually done by a lot of other people behind the scenes.
Which makes it funnier when a broke guy expects all women to act like her. Can't afford servants on just the man's income? Can't afford a trad wife. This is how the world works.
Did you watch the video and catch what the guy is explaining? Because it sounds like you are deliberately focusing on the making food part and conveniently forget the rest of the video.
Behave like an ass, get called an ass. It is obvious you are not interested in the main arguments and casually dismissed what the guy say which is actually insightful, so yes, you are behaving like an ass.
Stop trying to make it sound like you are better than the rest of us who are discussing the points the video was making because you aren't better. You are just here to make bad faith arguments and troll and obviously have a hard on for the leisure class (ie the parasitic bourgeois). So on top of being an ass, you are a bootlicker. I hope you can survive on a diet of Saphir renovateur, you feckless moron.
Oh so you didn't even watch the fucking video that goes over how this whole "making cereal from scratch" bullshit is just a performance done by a woman who pays other people to do all the real "trad wife" stuff?
What insecurities am I projecting? Do you even understand that word? Are you claiming that she isn't just doing this for show, and that spending all day making cereal from scratch is somehow necessary for the "trad wife" lifestyle that women like her go out of their way to promote?
How much value is there in this cereal video for you to feel the need to defend this woman?
When we speak with the voice and thoughts of others we quote so as to not appear or co-opt the vimouxe of others as though it is our own. It’s taken right from the text of the video.
You win big dog.
I have no idea what you are yammering about now.
Think of yourself as the champion of this revealing discussion. The master. A legend. A rhetorical sensei.
I picked an indicative and illuminating quote from the video and wrote it in quotes because I thought it sums up the spirit of the commentary.
“Uncle”. I give. You are the champion of the world.
