replied to your post “TBH if you married a rich dude to be supported”

Woman shouldnt be judge for marrying a rich man and expecting him to be a decent human being

Here’s the thing though, if he’s supporting you, and he’s rich.  He’s essentially paying you to be married to him.  Now he’s rich, he’s not paying you for domestic labor, he can hire a housekeeper and a cook if he wants and if he’s that rich, he’s specifically choosing to marry a woman who cannot earn as much as he does supporting her through education or whatever…okay maybe, but if he’s saying “okay, you stay home” he’s choosing that for a reason and that reason isn’t “he loves you and wants to take care of you” that reason is power.  The reason will always be power.

Like happening to end up taking care of your partner is one thing, and it’s also a very different thing for a working class or like non-rich person to support their partner (which is usually because the domestic labor is helpful), but if you’d be screwed without them but they wouldn’t be screwed without you, there’s a pretty obvious power dynamic and I feel like people like to pretend love conquers all and transcends class barriers and all that, but it doesn’t, money’s still a thing, power’s still a thing and like the person with power over you, even if they were a super good, super benevolent person (which if they’re rich, given the way the world works, they’re probably not source included) they’re still human so what do you think’s going to happen when you have a fight?  What do you think’s going to happen when they feel underappreciated, or like they’re not getting all the love and attention they deserve (and are used to because they’re rich and used to getting their way)?

Also science proves rich people are straight up bad people:

A source on cross class marriages 

A book on the wives of rich men

Rich people are straight up more likely to lie cheat and steal

Powerful (and rich) men are more likely to cheat

And another study confirming that yes indeed, rich men are really really really prone to being chronically unfaithful

“Men were also more likely to cheat if they made significantly more than their spouses, while women who made a lot more than their husbands were less likely to be unfaithful.

“

Men with stay at home wives are more sexist

Rich people are selfish

Rich people are literally willing to steal candy from children

And they think it’s good that they behave this way

Expecting a rich man not to cheat is like expecting a sheep not to eat a flowerbed. 

Actually expecting a rich man to simply behave like a decent human being ever is frankly asking a bit much.  So like marry rich by all means, but don’t make the mistake of trusting the fucker.

@aura218 said: ffs this is anti-woman bullshit. Stop condemning other women for their choices. Stop assuming that a woman who stays at home is like a traitor to the cause or something. Stop calling rich people evil just because they’re rich. I’m stating to think you’re actually an agent provacateur but I think it’s just that you’re a philosophy major freshman. The world is not divide into death eaters and everyone else

I said: Rich people by nature of being rich are inherently making the world a worse place.  Their status necessitates the existence of poverty.  Capitalism is the basis for a society of profound inequalities of power, they’re not inherently evil but power (as shown in my many many sources) has a profound tendency to corrupt.  I’m not a first year philosophy student.  I didn’t go to college.  I’m just a damned low down dirty prole.  There’s nothing wrong with wanting to stay home (My own spouse is a home maker).  I’m not saying even that women who marry rich are traitors to the cause or anything, they’re doing a job like any other.  I’m simply saying that expecting fidelity from a rich man is unrealistic because they are statistically unlikely to be faithful and you should go into the bargain eyes open.

Also if I’m an agent provocatrice what am i trying to provoke?  People not to expect fidelity from wealthy men?  …do you even know what agent provocateurs are supposed to do?
