Women aren’t “ditching dating for cats.” They’re reacting to the fallout of modern feminism blowing up the old relationship structure.

For decades, feminism pushed the idea that women shouldn’t rely on a man, shouldn’t stay home, shouldn’t want a provider, shouldn’t want traditional roles. That message didn’t just change women — it changed men. The kind of men who used to take pride in providing, protecting, and leading in a family? They were shamed, labeled oppressive, or told their masculinity was toxic.

So what happened?

Now you’ve got a generation of men who don’t want to — or straight up can’t — provide. Men who expect both people to work full-time because that’s “modern equality,” but still want the woman to handle the home because they were raised that way. The traditional man who actually took responsibility, carried the load, and made it possible for a woman to be a stay-at-home wife? Practically extinct.

Women didn’t stop wanting that option. The option disappeared.

So when women look around and realize the only deals available are:

Work full-time

Do most of the housework

Take care of the kids

Split bills 50/50 with a man who isn’t stepping up

And still be told they’re “lucky”

They’re not choosing cats instead of men.

They’re choosing cats instead of a lopsided relationship where the masculine role was gutted, traditional values are gone, and the kind of good men they actually want no longer exist in meaningful numbers.

It’s not that women changed. It’s that feminism wiped out the men who made traditional life possible.

That’s the problem.

    Is sex work empowering for women — or destructive to feminism? (lemmy.world)
     

    I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I’m curious what others think. Some people argue that sex work gives women autonomy over their own bodies, their income, and their sexuality — that it can be empowering, liberating, and even feminist.

    Others say it’s the opposite: that it reinforces objectification, exploitation, and unrealistic power dynamics, and that it ultimately harms women and the feminist movement by turning empowerment into a commodity.

    So I’m wondering — where do you stand? Do you think sex work for women is empowering and liberating, or do you think it’s destructive and demoralizing for women and the feminist cause in general?

    Is it wrong to like the attention I get from having big breasts ? (lemmy.world)
     

    Yes, this is a serious question. I still go on reddit and often see on the r/bigboobsproblem subreddit, women complaining about the attention they receive from their chest.

    Granted, I do understand where they're coming from, if you just generally as a person don't want to be oogeled at like a slice of meat, I mean, I get that. That is infact uncomfortable.

    I love my chest size, they make me feel feminine and beautiful and I appreciate and enjoy the attention they bring me. Because here's the thing, we're not gunna be young forever, at some point, we'll be older, and not attractive anymore.

    With that, I kinda don't understand why some women don't like idk... being beautiful or desired? Like it makes me feel good and boosts my self-esteem.

    Anyway, ppl are allowed to feel any way they want. Especially when it comes to their body. I just personally don't get why a person wouldn't want the attention.

    Im not talking about harassment here, there's a big difference and clearly there's a line. But any way, what do you think?
