queenslayerbee: Isabelle Adjany as Lucy Harker in 1979's "Nosferatu the Vampire". She's surrounded by darkness, looking over her shoulder while she wears a white nightgown and a cross as a necklace. A hand with long nails like a claw is reaching for her neck from the darkness behind her. (Default)

Fellow adult (late twenties, personally) gnc dyke here. Our experiences are very different in this respect so I'll just say I'm sincerely glad you haven't experienced that kind of policing attitude IRL yourself, but no, this is not just online. These last few years I haven't had it directed towards myself as often but I'm very aware it's solely because of the people with whom I choose (and I'm able) to surround myself. Now, if I had to see my catholic relatives or my very conservative hometown as often as I used to, things would be very different. And unlike me, many women can't avoid such environments.

I personally think it's very telling that this so-called anti-capitalist, "anti-work" movement isn't calling for men to become trophy husbands and SAHF and and and. Also, "when financial need was not outright forcing them to earn a wage after they married"... straight-up financial need within a family unit is hardly the main reason women fought to be in the work force. They should always have independent income from their husband because economic dependence is dangerous and used against them in abusive situations, which are hardly diminishing. Besides that, in the current economy these young women CERTAINLY need to have disposable income, AND they sound woefully naive about the dangers of depending on the whims of their romantic partners. At the very least you get to put some distance between yourself and a traditional employer.

Also generally speaking I don't think putting these kinds of things together is a reach. There is a reactionary misogynist wave hitting worldwide at the moment (on top of the misogyny that never left), and these don't happen in a vacuum, IMO.
