14	Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and celebrity crush My husband and I enjoy watching movies together and often he talks about so-and-so celebrity being hot, but he also knows I have celebrities I find attractive as well (and we also watch their movies). Neither of us entertain any notions of anything really happening or anything, but honestly the eye candy is part of the fun for us. If he was slacking off in our intimate relationship to watch videos of celebrities or something, I'd have an issue. But otherwise it's just in good fun and for our own…	/r/RedPillWomen	16/10/24 06:56 PM
3	Thoughts on men who won’t let you look at their phone? I wouldn't be happy if my husband wanted to just look through my phone because it would definitely feel like he was trying to find something or had some kind of suspicion and didn't trust me. I don't care if he grabs it while I'm driving to mess with the music or if he needs to use my phone to make a call or pick up an online order or something. I don't have anything to hide, but he should know that -so him wanting to look would be a concerning thing for me. Same for my end too - I don't ask to …	/r/RedPillWomen	26/09/24 04:47 PM
4	Did you use ovulation trackers when trying to get pregnant? I used the cheap ovulation strips when TTC - way more efficient for me, especially when trying to test at different times of day (my tests were always positive in the evening but I seemed to have a fast surge so would miss it if I just tested once a day). I also did invest in a tempdrop for BBT tracking which is 100% the easiest way to track temp for me. Not sure if I'll do the same when TTC again just because I have a lot less time/energy to focus on all the testing, but it will depend on how t…	/r/RedPillWomen	31/07/24 01:05 AM
15	Women who are provided for by their husbands, how did you / he ensure you'd be okay no matter what? Curious to see what other folks say - I will say my opinion on this may not be the most "RP." But we treat his income as "our money." We budget together, discuss big purchases, and each have an allowance each month for fun money. We are a team with our finances, it's not just him doing it all (I would never be ok with this because I like budgeting and like to know what is going on with our money and what our plans are). In terms emergency situations, I have some money in an account my grandfathe…	/r/RedPillWomen	20/05/24 01:00 AM
2	Homemakers and Feminine Influncers Who Aren't Tradcons/Religious or Grifters? I really appreciate Victoria from Thyme and Tenderness - she is religious, but doesn't generally push it in her social media space. She's also very funny, and has a perspective as a homemaker that I really appreciate, particularly in pushing back against some of the tradwife stuff that is more insidious and not really aligned with my values (I'm definitely more on the moderate/progressive side of the political spectrum despite the organization of my personal relationship).	/r/RedPillWomen	09/02/24 10:40 AM
1	Wanting to stop birth control I was not on BC for a particularly long period of time - I started NuvaRing in graduate school when I met my now-husband and continued taking it for...6-7 years or so. Through that whole time I would have said I had no real side effects - my skin did get better, but some of that I think was just aging because it's mostly fine now as well (I'm 33). However, when I did stop a couple of years ago I realized it had completely tanked my libido the whole time. I was suddenly so much more interested in…	/r/RedPillWomen	01/02/24 11:48 PM
30	Ladies, what are some things you wish your mother had taught you? Some things from my mother that I really appreciate, especially now that I'm an adult: - A clean house is nice, but it's more important to have experiences with your family and children. My mom was a SAHM and then later a WFH mom - our house was always clean, but she didn't focus on making it spotless. Spending time doing things with us was always a priority, which was honestly great. I know this seems obvious, but I think it can be easy in RPW circles especially to fall into the trap of making …	/r/RedPillWomen	23/08/22 12:24 PM
12	For the women that wanted to be housewives from a young age: what did you major in? I would say that I always had aspirations of being a homemaker - but I also was pretty academically driven because I loved learning. Went to college and had a bit of a meandering path through engineering, biology (originally was going to be a pharmacist), and eventually majored in history. I loved my major and my classes and all the fascinating things I learned. I then went to grad school for public history & library science on a dual degree program - because I didn't want to teach. Met my husba…	/r/RedPillWomen	17/08/22 12:32 AM
8	would it be an issue if all women become housewives / SAHMs? I mean, I feel the obvious answer here is - of course it would be an issue. Women have worked basically as long as humanity has existed - in cottage industries, on farms, and later in other workplaces outside the home. In a lot of ways, the "traditional" woman as homemaker & mother only concept is pretty "new" historically and one that has also been a very privileged position. In this day and age, I also don't personally think it's particularly useful to encourage all women to stop their educati…	/r/RedPillWomen	16/08/22 11:32 PM
9	Red pearl necklace. (Thought piece) Agreed - I dress fairly conservatively (I like the 50s aesthetic, so lots of dresses and skirts, fairly long hair, etc.) and have a very traditional relationship, but am not politically conservative. Sometimes you can tell things from people's appearance, but I'd definitely not assume that all people who look like X have any kind of specific politics.	/r/RedPillWomen	11/08/22 06:21 PM
6	How do we do it? If you're making 3 meals from scratch every day for 2 people that seems like a lot. Unless you are making single servings every time! Things that I do that help for food specifically are to make a couple of breakfasts/lunch that we can eat on all week. My husband is a teacher, so we focus on cold salads for lunches that can be packed and take less time to eat / don't require reheating. Lots of chicken salad variations, pasta salad, couscous/chickpea salads, etc. I try to vary the flavor profiles…	/r/RedPillWomen	25/07/22 09:33 PM
9	Being a homemaker/SAHM in this economy… I am about to become a SAHM - I'm 32, my husband is not bringing in huge money - he's a teacher - but we have saved up a decent buffer. We have had a little bit of a different path, as we both went to grad school and didn't really get "started" with full-time work until a bit later. Most recently, we both worked full-time for three years, then last year I was able to switch to part-time work which has helped our family dynamic so immensely. When we found out we were expecting, and that my job (n…	/r/RedPillWomen	21/06/22 07:01 PM
3	Another one bites the dust I also got banned from commenting there just for being subbed here - which I thought was odd. I am not even particularly like, conservative or anything. Just happen to have a very traditional relationship dynamic and appreciate the viewpoints here. Though honestly, that sub was kind of a cesspit and just made me annoyed (even though I don't even have kids yet). So I stopped reading there anyway.	/r/RedPillWomen	18/06/22 01:52 AM
8	Housewives, how do you and your husband afford living off one income? We aren't quite there yet, but I will say that things are going to be tight for a while for us as we truly transition to one income - I just quit my job (in my third trimester with our first child), and don't plan on going back to work for probably a year after baby is born at minimum, and that is heavily dependent on what our situation looks like at that point - ideally I wouldn't need to work for a few more years. We may not have as much to set aside for saving and investing as we have previou…	/r/RedPillWomen	16/06/22 05:44 PM
17	Comparisons between traditional women/life to Gilead-- how accurate are they? Gilead in the book I certainly hope is an exaggeration - however, even as a women with a very traditional role, I do still worry that some very important reproductive choices will be taken away. I don't think this is unrealistic based on laws that are either on the books in many states (trigger laws, and many with very few exceptions), or proposals that have been put forth for potential further restrictions - such as efforts to restrict access to IUDs or other contraceptives perceived as abortif…	/r/RedPillWomen	15/06/22 01:11 AM
3	My boyfriend expects me to contribute towards his mortgage. I would not contribute to a mortgage that was not a joint mortgage, personally - but I also would expect that house buying would be a joint effort after a marriage. As others have said, I think you definitely need to have a conversation about the long-term picture of this relationship. You don't have much legal recourse if the house is in his name only and something happens, despite the fact that, if you go along with his suggestion, you will have contributed to him paying down the money he owes…	/r/RedPillWomen	21/03/22 10:46 PM
9	What are your thoughts on swingers As long as everyone is consenting, I don't care what people do really.	/r/RedPillWomen	03/03/22 04:49 PM
6	This sub has made my relationship better! Yep - I definitely am banned from a couple of subreddits because I've commented here. And nothing crazy, I think just about doing dishes / negotiating chores! I am also a pretty left-leaning person, but my husband and I have a very traditional marriage because we've discovered that's what works for us. I appreciate all the nuanced advice that generally gets offered here, and that people try really hard to give strategies for improving relationships rather than just the nuclear option from the be…	/r/RedPillWomen	15/02/22 04:24 PM
1	All about housework I work part-time (no kids) and I probably spend an hour a day on cleaning (and honestly, that's probably an overestimate). So let's say 6 hours a week. Our house is clean, but not spotless and looks lived-in, not fancy. Meal-planning is maybe an hour or two a week, depending on how inspired I'm feeling that week. Grocery shopping is 2-2.5 hours a week (I go to two stores and take my time). Cooking - this part takes up a lot of time, but is different depending on the day. I tend to do a few hours…	/r/RedPillWomen	19/12/21 01:58 AM
3	Boyfriend wants me to have more hobbies and I feel like I've gotten complacent with being a "boring girl" I read, run, knit, cook, and dabble in sewing and container gardening. My husband and I talk about all sorts of things, and he appreciates that I'm intelligent and relatively well-read (I keep up with the news pretty regularly and try to be conversant on current events without going too crazy with it, and listen to some podcasts on various topics). I play some casual video games, but he's definitely more of the gamer in the family. We also enjoy putting legos or puzzles together as a joint ventu…	/r/RedPillWomen	09/12/21 07:50 PM
5	What is your least favourite household chore and how do you make it tolerable? I don't generally mind the process of doing dishes, but I hate that there are ALWAYS more dishes to do! One thing that does help is music - I put in my bluetooth headphones and jam while doing dishes, or listen to a podcast. I also give myself a time limit - 10-15 minutes to work in the kitchen, for example. Even though my dishes pile looks big, I can usually manage to get it done in that time frame, and if there are a few straggling plates I am usually able to finish up, even if I wasn't excite…	/r/RedPillWomen	28/07/20 01:28 PM
2	What’s a practical life path for a young RPW? I would love to do this - my husband is getting his doctorate, and we are in that stage where we're going to be moving every few years for a while, which has made getting a job in my field fairly difficult. And honestly, I've discovered I'm just not the most career driven person like I used to think I was. Any tips for someone who mostly has university teaching / graduate school experience to stand out? I'm thinking I will probably try the staffing agency route after our next move, but would lov…	/r/RedPillWomen	08/05/18 01:01 AM
2	The problem with being a housewife -spoiler: it's other people (rant) I never understand this - I work part-time, and therefore I am also more of a traditional "housewife" in most senses. It also helps that I teach, so my schedule is super flexible - but I know how hard my husband works, and I see my work around the house as my contribution to the household in addition to my part-time work. It's not fair at all that he should work all day and then come home and be expected to do a ton of stuff around the house. I do a lot of that stuff to show that I appreciate th…	/r/RedPillWomen	12/04/18 05:24 PM
–	Simple Questions My husband and I create playlists together for road trips - different songs for different moods, etc. Honestly we don't do a lot in particular; listen to music, talk, and a lot of the time someone sleeps for a little bit. I also have podcasts downloaded that we both enjoy if we get tired of music. Nothing super innovative, but we drive a lot and it works for us :)	/r/RedPillWomen	09/08/17 11:14 AM
8	Rant about women's fitness in a feminist world I can definitely understand where you're coming from, but I guess I also see their side (though I am generally a lurker here). The weights thing would totally depend on the attitude of the man. If it seemed like he was doing something in a condescending way, then I would be frustrated like many of the women you talk about. However, if it really seemed like he was just trying to be helpful, then I'd be polite and say thank you (I'd probably do that anyway - I hate confrontation). Don't know if th…	/r/RedPillWomen	30/07/17 05:14 PM
