Defeat Feminism, but what about financial necessity?
There's a huge aspect to the issue of women in the workplace that both Muslim and non Muslim red pillars are either deliberately ignoring or can't see because of ideological blinders, and that is that most women pursue careers due to financial necessity, not feminism. Social media influencers in the manosphere, like Kevin Samuels, routinely roast career women for having unrealistic expectations about the type of men that they wanna marry. Men with 6 or 7 figure incomes who will bear the major financial burden after marriage and he tells them to lower their standards and marry average men with average salaries. He says to most of his callers that they have wasted the best years of their lives pursuing a career only to find themselves now in their thirties and forties without families and a much lower value in the marriage marketplace. Now if you don't actually think about what's being conveyed in these conversations, Kevin Samuels makes sense.
But listen to what these women are actually saying. They want a man who can take care of them so they don't have to work, I e, they want to stay home, and that is why they want a man with a high income. If they marry a man with an average salary, they will still have to work because a family living in the West on a single income that's an average income is not viable. So the red pill ideal situation is that women shouldn't work, but they should also not want a man who earns enough money that makes it possible for them to not work. Women are telling you that they don't want to work, they don't want to pursue a career, they want to stay home.
But the only way that that's even remotely possible is if they can marry a man who is making a 6 or 7 figure income. So why is no one talking about the fact that the economic system has been the main contributing factor in driving women out of the home and into the workplace, and that it has utterly destroyed the ability of the average man to be his family's sole breadwinner. Instead of talking about what has really caused this disaster, red pillars just talk about feminism. It's dishonest. Men rule the economic system and men have undermined men's ability to earn a sufficient income to provide for their families.
Men created a situation in which if a woman wants to remain in the domestic sphere, she is going to have to marry a man who is among the top five to 10% of earners in the country, which is not going to happen. And then you can mock her for wanting that, and also mock her for the career she has, which she doesn't have a choice but to have. You can't really mock her for her situation or for her desperate delusions about what's possible. She wants the life that you want for her. She wants the life that women have always wanted and always used to be able to have, but that they can no longer have because men's earnings, the average man's earnings, cannot keep pace with the cost of living.
We have to be honest about what the situation is and how it became this way. If you're angry about women being in the workplace, women are angry too. Women have never been more unhappy. But what choice do they have? Families cannot subsist on a single income in The United States, in The UK, throughout Europe.
And then you make fun of her for having unrealistic expectations and not wanting to marry a man who cannot provide for her. But why aren't you angry about an economic system that has caused this and instead lay the blame at her feet? Women have to survive. So what choice does a woman have except to pursue a career, to try to survive financially? And yes, she's going to pursue a career and reach a point in her life where she is almost ineligible for marriage, doesn't have children, doesn't have a family, and that's tragic.
And it's not necessarily by choice. You know that Rasulullah said that when the Shi'atin gather and Iblis asks them what they have accomplished, what they have done, the one who says I caused discord between a man and his wife, Shaitan Iblis says, oh, you've really accomplished something important. And he draws him close to him as a reward. Well, this is happening now on a massive scale between women and men, not just a husband and wife, but between women en masse and men en masse, created discord between the sexes and has become adversarial between us. Women are telling someone like Kevin Samuels they want the domestic life, But the only way they can have the domestic life is if they marry a millionaire.
Why should that be the case? Why isn't an average man's income sufficient anymore to provide for a family? Women did not destroy the capacity of men to provide. You can't lay the blame at the feet of women. They don't run the system.
