These males hyping "traditional roles" always have no clue.

I just keep thinking of the story my maternal Grandpa told me about how after he got married every week he'd take a $5 bill out of his pay envelope for himself and then give ALL the rest of his earnings to my Nana because running the house was her job and paying for her to run the house was his job.

He was trying to explain inflation to me.... in 1986 he said he was NOW keeping a whole $20.

😹😹😹

He would probably get angry and call her a Gold digger

Facts! These men wanna be alpha and head of household while their wife does all the emotional and financial labor in the relationship.

Selective masculinity. Want all the benefits of being a masculine man but none of the burden.

souredskittles · 2021-01-06T22:13:36+00:00

Lmao this is my life. They want to be the man but act girly when the check comes 🙄

I’ve let them take the reigns of the relationship and they run it into the ground. Sorry sir, you are looking for a boyfriend.

I never realized what toxic masculinity was until this. They just want to show masculinity in abusive ways 🙄 like beating you up in bed

Lol! My ex claimed he wanted to be the breadwinner. The second I said yes to dating him, he argued with me about going 50/50 and how I was a spoilt brat.

mojocanx · 2021-01-06T23:55:21+00:00

They’re so hypocritical. Atleast men in the 50s had something to offer. Men now just want us to take care of everything while they have 0 to offer except drain us of our energy and labour.

This really hits close to home. A really good example (IMO) of how a hvm would handle it is My best friend and her bf. They’ve been together for 3 years and growing up she was better off financially and used to a certain lifestyle yet her bf came from a poorer background. He wanted to get married but she made it clear the lifestyle she wanted so they discussed it and even though he couldn’t provide it to her at that exact moment he got a job in engineering (what he studied) worked his way up and now holds a position where he is currently able to give her what she wanted and now they’re engaged. I should mention they split chores and cooking 50/50 and he pays the bills. I went to uni with him and final year of uni (he was a couple years ahead of me) I remember him working two jobs plus studying, saving up every cent just to able to buy my friend the ring he thought she deserved regardless of cost. Idk just thought I’d share that since we always hearing how shit LVMs are.

Someone who truly cares for you will take into consideration what you need and make the effort to provide you with that especially if they don’t want to risk losing you. They don’t see you asking for what you want as being “too much” or try to negotiate you out of it. They work hard to give you what you want.

These types of guys use "Alpha" as an excuse to cheat or sleep around.

I have yet to meet a man screaming about traditional values who knows how to change the oil in his own car.

MagnfiqueMaleficent · 2021-01-07T02:52:09+00:00

He’s an Alpha Scrote.

Lady__stoneheart · 2021-01-07T07:06:04+00:00

"I'm an Alpha male who likes women who are submissive, while I do nothing and mooch off of them emotionally, sexually and financially. I just want to feel like an alpha male because I'm not actually one, but I want to feel like one. I can't actually be one because I can't be bothered to, but I can definitely try to manipulate women into making me feel like one and coddle my ego, because that's easier than actually stepping up."

AshaStars · 2021-01-07T03:02:00+00:00

The issue I have with this is that, if you have a fair traditional relationship (husband works and wife is a SAHM), this shouldn't equate to the woman being submissive or the man having more authority. Both partners should have equal authority in their sphere of work. SAHM's work LONGER shifts than men do in most cases--it's a 24/7 job to look after a baby or a toddler, and men should be working to support them and then working additional hours alongside them to take some childcare pressure off their shoulders. Considering that the woman works equivalent or greater hours domestically, she should have equivalent or greater authority.

*Fair* traditional relationships shouldn't rest on the assumption that a man gets a sUbmiSsiVe wife because he earns money. Like bitch, she birthed your child(ren). She is entitled to equal or greater authority in the family. The notion that breadwinner=authority is based on the falsehood that women who are SAHM's don't contribute as much, when the exact opposite is true. If there's a parent and child, the parent holds authority because the child isn't contributing the way an adult would--but a husband and wife who work equal hours in different spheres should have equal authority in proportion to their contribution. Breadwinner=authority is based on devaluing women's work and acting like men deserve aUthoRity for doing the absolute bare minimum of providing for the woman who birthed their child(ren).

There's nothing wrong w men being primary providers--they should be--but they shouldn't be given greater aUthoRitY for it unless the woman truly contributes very little or nothing. Which basically never happens. SAHM's typically work long ass hours. In my extended family there are men who work 6 hours a day and then laze around at home while their wives cook and clean 6am-8pm and the men think they have aUthoRity over their wives it's literal clown shit

anxious-american · 2021-01-07T07:02:16+00:00

Lmao yeah, honestly I'm into guys who lead; but if I'm cooking and cleaning, he's paying my rent

Equal-Ear2312 · 2021-01-07T08:33:07+00:00

B-but what did he expect? He said "head of the household"!

I mean, come on, you alpha male, you! Do you work? Make enough figures to support a household and kids? And your wifey? You plan to wife her... right? Right?

Righ'....

*Stores another jar full of male tears... this is going to be a looong winter.*
