My Husband Doesn’t Own Me Just Because I Am His Housewife.

I am not a piece of property.

My husband works hard to make money, and I work hard to make his life a little easier.

Recently, my husband and I were listening to a podcast recommended to us by a close friend. I won’t go into the details, because it was pretty political. (I am not about the political talk on here.) I don’t even know what it was called anyway.

Anyway, a lot was said, but there was something in particular that sent rage all through my bones. I don’t remember the exact quote, but the point the woman was trying to make was, “Being a housewife instead of working makes you a piece of property.”

I am sorry… What?

I never get political on here, but I am very old-fashioned. I have women who follow me that aren’t necessarily “old-fashioned,” but they don’t/didn’t work for a period of time.

It’s not fair to say this about any woman who doesn’t work.

I thrive as a housewife, and I always want to share my perspective as a housewife without children.
