help, my wife is napping and i miss her but she deserves her rest

If you replace “wife” with “fiancee,” and “napping” with “sleeping after going to bed early,” this is me rn

if you replace “wife” with “master Frodo” and “napping” with “sleeping after Elvish surgery following an incident with a cursed Morgul blade” this is Sam Gamgee rn

I’m sobbing. Why do I understand this

Fascinating how what's considered feminine and what's considered masculine can change over time. The rebranding of being a horse girl into being a stereotypical feminine girly trait needs to be studied.

Look at classic children's novels. As recently as the 50s and early 60s, being obsessed with horses as a girl was depicted as strange and tomboyish, and the very concept of being obsessed with horses from early childhood and loving toy horses and desperately wanting your own horse being a "little girl thing" and not a "little boy thing" would send someone from the 1800s and earlier into a coma.

There's maybe a point to be made here somewhere about how when keeping and riding horses stopped being necessary to the functioning of society and became a more "frivolous" thing, it was rapidly rebranded as silly and girly and for women, but what do I know.
