I wish AI stans would stop acting like they're an oppressed class of society

by the way please don't let your hatred of capitalism and work convince you that fully relying on someone else for access to money and housing is a good idea. please do not voluntarily give up your autonomy if you have the option to not do that.

I think it's important to disentangle and differentiate between when advice given to women is coming from a place of wanting to uphold traditional and often oppressive values, and when it's being given for the sake of trying to prevent women from getting into bad situations. like I'm sure some of the folks saying not to have kids out of wedlock are doing that out of pearl-clutching but others are doing it because they think you should get legal protections sorted before you go through the often dangerous process of childbirth, especially if the plan is to then put your career on pause for a period of time to stay home with the kid and become entirely financially dependent on your boyfriend. you can talk about how marriage is an oppressive institution all you want but your ex-boyfriend won't owe you spousal support when he dumps you. "but couples who have been together for x number of years in my country get all the same rights as a legally married couple" ok cool I'm not talking to you then
