I don't think traditional gender roles and BDSM should really be compared like that. But yes, patriarchal family life and domination are often the centerpieces.
In maths, you have two kinds of relationship between expressions. An equation is when they're the same. A comparison is when they're different.
You're saying I compared BDSM and traditional gender roles, but I didn't. I equated them. I said they're the same. The patriarchy is a system of sexual domination. It's a fetish.
You said not to compare BDSM and traditional gender roles, but I'll ignore you and do it anyway now. What's different about the two is that BDSM is supposed to be done with safe practices to ensure consent, and most people know it. Traditional gender roles have no safe practices. Nobody checks if the wife consents.
Traditional gender roles should be equal to BDSM. We should only be able to make equations between the two. We should not be able to compare them and say they're different. We should be calling this "tradwife" meme a fetish, and pressuring the people who engage in it to practice safe consensual sex.
Plus, you know, equating tradwife bullshit with lefty deviancy is really gonna piss off some conservatives, and that's worth doing all on its own.
Could you define contrast and compare for me?
You should know that this is equivalent to rednecks doing things to "trigger the libs". Things like putting semi trailer exhaust pipes on their trucks so they can spew clouds of black smoke. I guess you guys can piss each other off, but the rest of the the world just thinks you are idiots.
