Literally this. Sometimes i see posts about the state of the world and i can't believe i was ever pro blm and feminism and shit. Like even though ive always gotten off to abuse and misogyny i still felt like i somehow deserved to be treated as an equal. I shouldve just taken it as a sign to submit to men sooner and stop listening to dumbass leftist politics
Submit to the RIGHT man, not simply men in general. That’s the one choice women get to have: which man gets to mate with them. That theme appears all over the animal kingdom and it’s no different for humans. Males compete to prove themselves in front of the females.
That’s why that trope exists in stories where a man tries to impress a female with competency, and even if they fail the woman will usually be impressed because she understands he was sincerely trying for her. That’s what being a “nice guy” is supposed to be, not simply being nice but being nice for the right reasons.
That’s also why the “father’s blessing” trope exists. Growing up the father is the man the woman submits to, so he has much sway over who she marries, because marriage is basically the father symbolically relinquishing his authority over his daughter to her husband.
All of that is why marriage is supposed to be a BIG decision. The good news is it’s the only big decision a woman would have to make. Once you find a man you’re happiest with, you’re basically set for life. All of that got screwed up though when the government tried enforcing the authority of the husband, which gave feminists all the ammunition they needed.
