Can a woman who raises children while her husband earns money be happy?
If a woman is very unhappy while living a traditional man's lifestyle, would she perhaps be happier living a traditional woman's lifestyle?
Do women have to assume a man's role because men cannot earn as much and store their wealth as effectively as men in the past, enough to support a family by their own merit?
Does it all boil down to fiat money printing?
Does #bitcoin fix this?
Yeah.

🤔 I don’t really see the trolling here, just more commenting how back in the day, it was possible and common for a man to support a female raising children, but inflation has made that model infeasible to where it’s not even an option, in most cases, both spouses have to work. Did I interpret it wrong?
I guess it is how you read it. Desperate Housewife was a real condition back then.
Oh totally, but I would say it still is, maybe even more so. Now, a single income makes it nearly impossible to do simple things like afford a home. Never do I think women should have to live one way or the other. Ideally, they would have the choice. Some women feel their purpose and fulfillment comes from raising children and would rather stay home with them whereas other women choose to work and in some cases, even become the breadwinner. Women and men both are desperate these days, we all are because our cost of living keeps raising while our purchasing power goes to shit.
This is why I think tackling the problems between men and women should be sidelined until enough people take the step of securing their wealth from theft.
This is financial advice.

More great thoughts from Jay!
While I think it is best to focus on upstream issues, reality is a bit less linear than that.
Let’s do both, while making sure we acknowledge and prioritize the biggest issues.
“You can’t be freed by the same injustice that enslaved you.”
Fiat surely has enslaved us all. But so has misappropriating the feminine and the masculine.
That's basically what I was thinking of. Traditional roles are defaults in a sound money environment, and people who don't fit in are rare, but can find fulfillment by going their own way.
But what was once rare is now commonplace because fiat ruined everything, and what was once the easy, default path is now something you have to fight for.
You make good points but be careful not to generalize. Some women feed fulfilled raising children while others feel fulfilled in their careers. Some feel fulfilled with a mixture of both.
Yeah, this is why debating about it online get so heated. Finding fulfillment is such a personal journey, but one person's fulfillment will be another person's cage.
I think most people will find issue with any of the earlier questions and get stuck there. I want to find the people who can make it through to the bottom.
There’s a book I read last year called the top 5 regrets of the dying. One of the women in the book never had children because she never wanted any. She lived for herself and felt fulfilled in her career. I thought she was going to say she regretted not having children on her deathbed but she didn’t and she died happy.
