   in reply to

   now, i know & you know that submission *is their goal.*

   they want women & families to be so goddamned broke and exhausted, they can't meaningfully rebel. they want to exhaust our resources, by creating an unwinnable situation & then punishing us for losing.

   we know that.
   we can still poke holes in their argument & beat them at their "marketplace of ideas* bullshit.
   (if only because sparring keeps us sharp.)

   with that in mind, i want to add,

   😐
   there is a big gulf between girlboss feminism's obsession with raises && the economic realities that ::
   - one income can hardly support a whole family😵💫
   - being a non-working trad wife to a single-income family can easily trap women in abuse
   - the whole reason feminists started fighting for economic equality was because **we were trapped & it fucking sucked**

   i understand that Prager U & the red state's *entire goal* is to tell the oppressor's history. i know their educational model is apologia. i know they are bad faith actors.

   i also think it's important to point out why they're wrong. because their ideas will become even more clear & prolific. and i want to be prepared to swat them.

     look, i am as submissive & breedable as they come, but if the red states & Prager U *genuinely* keep making curriculum to the tune of "it's okay for women to stay at home!!" without also changing the current economic reality... they're just coercing people into poverty.
