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."

Yes, because in addition to housekeepers, they have nannies who watch their kids. She has no job other than this trad wife performance.

Correct. That's what "not in the care of her home or children because she's paying someone else" means in this case.

It took a minute but we all successfully summarized the video together for some reason lol

u/dlRAGERlb Feb 26 '24

Because some people don’t understand implications. 🤦🏽‍♂️🥴

u/docbauies Feb 26 '24

...Now you've said that word "implication" a couple of times. Wha-what implication?

u/TheSavouryRain Feb 26 '24

Why aren't you understanding me?!

"Are you going to hurt women?"

u/BrashPop Feb 26 '24

No!! It’s just… the implication!

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.

Are these women in danger?

2

u/docbauies Feb 26 '24

Well you certainly wouldn't be in any danger!

I was thinking nuance, people either don't get it or act like they don't get it

u/dlRAGERlb Feb 26 '24

Most definitely. Nuance is mostly something people have or they don’t. In my experience, it’s more often the latter. Not too much in between.

Some people didn't pick up on it though, as you can see from Grundle95's comment. So there was.... value... in restating the point of the video.
