That's because that is how women are wired mentally. Safety and security at the expense of freedom. Trading submission to a man for protection and resources is how women survived, it's literally baked into their psychology as a survival mechanism and governments the world over know this and exploit it.
I also fully understand I'm going to get women around here going, "but I'M not like that. I don't want to give up freedom in exchange for safety!" You already did if you are actually a conservative woman and follow the "stay at home and take care of the house and kids while my husband works and supports our family" mindset. Even if you both work, if you defer to him and let him make the majority of the decisions and control things like the family finances you still are doing it. That's why it was so easy for you to slip into that roll. There's nothing wrong with that, you just have to realize that other women want to trade your husband's freedom for "security" which will take away your safety and security as they destroy society.
You’re right, and I understand that about women. I often think, “this is why men are better suited for policy making, tough decisions.” It still sounds sexist to me since that’s what I’ve been conditioned with for decades.
I really don’t think it is, though. Men and women have different but equally important strengths. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
This is less true. Women control the overwhelming majority of dollars spent from family households in the west. Men are so passive it's sad. Women often decide what house is bought when house shopping (for most families this is the largest spending decision they'll make). Cars purchased by families are marketed towards women (SUVs and Minivans), designed for women (moms, really), and ultimately bought by women.
It's amazing. Men are instinctively more pragmatic. Aesthetics and status matter less when your concerns of survival are adequate commuting from school/work/extracuricculars so as long as those baseline requirements are met, the women take the helm from there.

There is a difference between spending money and managing the finances of the household. There was a story recently about a kid that managed to spend something like 20k on streamers that the parents are unable to get back. Is the child managing that houses finances or did he spend money and now the ones actually responsible for the finances are left trying to figure out how to patch things up?
The same is true of families in the west. The vast majority of women suck at managing money, but spend it like they're democrats handing out ballots. They then look to their husbands, boyfriends, and the random "guy friends" single women keep around just for that purpose to bail them out of the hole the woman got into. For the most part the men do by taking extra shifts, or getting a second job, or opening up another credit card. These same men then get told by their wives and girlfriends that he "can't" buy things he wants because "they don't have the money" because SHE needs the money to spend on stupid and pointless things.
"My money is my money, but his money is our money."
I wonder if the quotes mean "This word is very hard to appropriate, unlike other words like racism and discrimination. So let's just belittle its meaning entirely."
I see so many of these brainless twats putting the word freedom in quotations like this. It’s infuriating.

Exactly what it is. Anytime they approach an argument they can't attempt to counter they come to insults and belittling.
