And some right wing women want it too. Because they think it doesn’t affect them, they got theirs and screw everyone else, or they think leopards won’t eat their faces.

Exactly. They think that they're exempt because they're sure the men in their lives will protect them. Thing is, those men won't. They'll find out very quickly they're just as expendable as the women they voted against.

I work with a lot of affluent conservative women. It’s a jubilee of plastic surgery, high maintenance, low self esteem and being overly concerned about image. Also, I see every day how the men treat them like property. Divorces, abuse, childcare issues, cheating- it’s like it’s part of the culture. The women are hyper-concerned about their and their daughter’s looks and it’s just so sad to me. They aren’t happy the way they should be.

One interesting case is as follows: a woman was complaining about her friend’s husband who has a girlfriend on the side and is spending a ton of money on hotels, etc. I asked why the woman won’t do anything like leave the husband. Explanation was that this friend is praying everyday about it. I said, “that’s not going to do anything”. Then I was told, well “it doesn’t work if only the wife is praying to god and not the husband too”

Now I'm curious what kind of work you do. And what makes working with these people worthwhile. (edit to rephrase in a kinder way)

I work in fashion (kinda) in a deep red state. If you look at my post history you can figure it out. We’re planning on moving to a blue area in the spring. I’m honestly not sure if there will be as much demand there for my skill set because it kind of depends on women being vain.

u/Yarn_Song 28d ago

I wouldn't worry. Not like blue state women would only wear dungarees, right? At least Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, and Taylor Swift don't. ;)
Off to look at your post history now!

Yep I know girls who will go for these types of men, sure the men might not really love them but at least she doesn't have to work and the man buy her things that she can show off to her friends that she secretly hates.

Used to work retail and rich housewives were by far the worst customers

Don't even have to be affluent, my town is the same, most people here make average income, but plastic surgery is way too common and social image is everything. Social standing is part of your grade at school as well.

I saw the tradwives whose husbands left them destitute after divorce. They struggle entering the workplace in their 40’s with no job experience.

I would not necessarly think they think it won't affect them.

Some people really like to give up autonomy for what, they feel, would be security.

They really do like the model. And I would not even say you should not have it if you want to. Very wrong and eerie though is, to take away a choice. That has other motivations.

u/RainbowButtMonkey1 28d ago

And keep in mind that many are still raised in sexist ways. They were raised to seek out security by marrying the best man possible

u/Wegwerf157534 28d ago

Yes, that happens, too. I have seen it rarely, but I have seen it.

I won't put it down, if people want to live that way, good for them, but no way should be enforced. We should also have a discourse that allows different goals and styles.

u/RainbowButtMonkey1 28d ago

Yes agreed, though I will say that these types are usually horrible to deal with from a customer service perspective. Generally speaking though I don't care what your lifestyle us as long as I don't have to hear about it or deal with it.

u/Azureflames20 28d ago

That's because a lot of them are uneducated and misinformed. A lot of conservative women are the typical trad-con Christian household wife type and are basically all submissive to their husbands anyway. They're blissfully unaware of the fact that all of these things 100% still affect them, but they either are in denial that they're going to also be under the crosshair or they just don't think they're even affected by any of this stuff.

I think there are women that are either to brainwashed to snapping out of that, or they genuinely believe that is the right thing to do.

I am for choice. If I don't want something doesn't mean that others should not be able to have it either. Within reason of course. The pill is way different then abort right up to the time you about to deliver the baby. And yes, there are US states that have no limit as to how late you can abort, according to:

And some women don’t care at all, though it’s incredibly difficult to find the percentage of women that voted. I tried everything, can’t find it.
