honored social identity as wives and mothers
Actually, as common sense would suggest, your “honours” are a sham. No, your ilk takes all the domestic work, all the toils of child-rearing, all the emotional labour, all the risks of tolls to their own bodies - and often, on top of all this, quite a large portion of the business! - your women do for granted, their reward naught but being regarded with less than total contempt, but still distinctly your lesser.
This is not dignity, quite the contrary. It is the condition of a broken and desperate wretch groomed for love-bombing. It is not honour, it is the strategic withholding of basic respect. It is not love, but a corrupt, corrupted and corrupting travesty thereof. A sick system.
I definitively would not want to be in this position. either. Nor is it what I desire for the woman of my life and mother of my children. Nor would I ever want to be the kind of man this arrangement caters to.
Humans being the flawed and divergent creatures they are, I know that such relationships cannot be fully eradicate. But I am more than glad that they have been mostly denormalised, and I cannot wait for the final death of patriarchy.
