I Feel Like The Proletariat Is Under A Lot More Pressure to Be “Moral and Respectable” Than The Bourgeoisie Is

Like prole girls are slut shamed more, our sexualities are pathologized constantly, we have to worry a lot more about seeming like good housekeepers, wives, and mothers because our housekeeping, wifely behavior and mothering is constantly policed… we’re told we’re too loud, too slutty, too slovenly, too selfish and neglectful of our children…

Working class men are under constant pressure to “be men” and look and act appropriately respectable and “manly” but also they’re pathologized as Stanley Kowalski style brutes (even though I’ve met far more brutes who were frat boys than proletarian brutes) also like bougie dudes are way more likely to get an “Awww” when they’re portrayed doing domestic labor and prole dudes are way more likely to be accused of being emasculated…

IDK if we’re not “nice and respectable and deserving” we can be tossed from the relative safety and security of the “stable” working class into the hard living lumpen proletariat…
