Flyover Country

As I’m getting home at 62 years old from a 16 hour work day in construction I see the young liberals on Social Media who put in 30 hours pouring coffee this week telling me I don’t understand how tough life is for them.

One of the great benefits of living in an "undesirable" place is that I NEVER deal with anything like this... ever. To the contrary, it's eerily empty here much of the time. At times I've driven as much as an hour without seeing another car, even on weekdays. I've gone days interacting with nobody but the occasional gas station cashier, never seeing anybody walking on the street, barely any cars save for the odd logging truck or plow and nobody else. The extent to which you're alone in so much of this region is intense. It does get desolate and lonesome. Sometimes it's just too spooky and you do get unnerved by it. But I doubt I'd enjoy the alternative!

Lmao we’re all happily married with kids and your calling us whores while are husbands gladly let us raise our kids so they don’t end up like weirdos crying on the internet

What does this have to do with feminism? I think the problem is that too many men too the availability of pre marital sex as an excuse to have no sense of decency or honor towards women. Awareness about this bad male behavior in turn has made women paranoid. Also, the indirectness and ghosting didn't used to be a thing. No one used to do that in the 2000s. It literally never happened. No guy I ever went out with ever didn't respond to my texts until 2016. This did not used to be acceptable behavior. You didn't have to "read hints" because guys would just tell you. Back in 2009, when a guy didn't tell me upfront that he wasn't looking for a relationship, I punched him in the face, and he and all of his friends agreed that he deserved it. 17 years later, a ton of men think not only that not being upfront is okay but that straight up lying about feelings and intentions is okay. There has been a major degradation of male honor. This is not because of feminism. This is because of misogyny. This is because of a toxic male ideology that rates male success as body count, that sees seed as men winning and women losing, and that encourages men to predate against women instead of genuinely seeking love. Feminism didn't cause men to claim 0 responsibly over sexual access to their own bodies. Toxic playboy culture that grew as a backlash against feminism did that.

The homemakers on X with good provider husbands are extra grateful today. Wives, start plotting now, well before bedtime, how you can thank him.

Eldest son is currently dealing with some girl trouble, and I won’t share details, but my husband’s advice to him is consistently: “Don’t let a girl hijack your emotions.” A feminist mind hears that and gets angry, because the assumption is that it means “be a jerk!” but it really just means don’t treat every comment as a referendum on your character. There are always outliers, but in general, whether they are cognizant of it or not, women have more respect for a man who exudes steadiness vs one they can drag into drama. Good men know this to be true. The lady in the ketchup story sounds over the top hysterical and manipulative, but it’s the result of years of disrespectful interactions and no leader vibes to bring things back to calm, so the rhetoric just keeps escalating. When I hear married men frequently saying “my wife never apologizes!” it makes me think the problem is way beyond individual “I’m sorry” incidents, and an overall lack of respect. As a naturally feisty, opinionated woman with princess tendencies, my young bride/new mom brain did not like the surface feeling of not being coddled for being a brat. But my heart quickly learned that the far greater discomfort is feeling like you disappointed someone who you know loves you deeply. All these years in, it’s still an emotion I avoid like the plague. You cannot help but respect a man who can show incredible love, support, patience and self awareness, but who also would never tolerate insolence. Not just because humans should never endure mistreatment in the first place, but because doing so would be failing to display strength and security that women need to see and feel. Be loving but steady and you’ll get her whole heart. Year after year of loyalty, gratitude, devotion and deference, just by setting the right tone.

1) I’ve never voted democrat in my life. 2) Women have always worked but it was mostly for the home, farm, etc. This in 2026 women don’t have to do those things + not get paid for them which was what was happening. This is exactly what i’m talking about but I bet you expect women to take care of the kids, house cooking, chores on top of having a job 😂. Talk about voting democrat but you’d happily send your kids to daycare full of young liberal women instead of being taken care for by their mother to instill values. What a retarded take

The problem with a lot of dudes who want a trad-wife is that they refuse to be a traditional husband.
