It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

You take care of the children, by which I also mean myself because as a trad husband I am a big baby that demands to be fed and clothed.

Also I'll only work eight hours a day. You get to work 24/7 with no holidays.

Yes this is good and fair.

You get to work 24/7 with no holidays.

Also it's free labor akin to slavery as you are paid nothing and are only provided the necessary resources to reproduce your labor - not even including the literal part of creating the next generation to Perpetuate the cycle

Also also you aren't allowed to leave. The trad husband can have ~indiscretions~ out on the town, but the trad wife stays at home.

Forever.

yep and if you try to get divorced, my prenup states that i get to keep all the money because i did all the work!

also the whole thing is based on supporting an entire five person family on a single income

here is an economics lecture debunking the whole thing

Real talk though, from what I can find, you'll need to break 100k just to break even, let alone actually make money with five kids.

that sounds high I don't know anyone who spends that much money per month

I want mommy. I want milk. I want to be held! I WANT TO BE COMFORTED! And if you do not do all of these things immediately… I will ruin your life.
