See that's the thing I wonder. Can people actually consent to that, and I would suggest the people who do consent are coerced into consenting. They're broken people who feel they'll be accepted if they meet expectations set for them by predatory people. It's absolutely designed to extract free labour from women and lower their contributive value in relationships. It's not the same as one parent choosing to stay home and caretake. It's entirely a system almost (if not entirely) identical to an abusive relationship, once they're trapped, entirely dependent with no escape and no access to finances, what does their environment start to look like? I feel like the entire system is legitimising more abusive relationships. Blurring the lines. Blurred lines and consent that can't be revoked, is not consent, that's coercion in and of itself, even without the other factors. I can't imagine they're offered a safe option to entirely reverse the situation. It's one of those things built into a system to slowly errode women's rights around the edges. Because fascism can't exist without oppression, this feels like selling oppression to people who are vulnerable.
