Also if your wife enjoys being fucked, she might be a spiritual gay man. And do you know how we call people who fuck gay men?

Hahaha, saving

I'm jumping into downvote pool but yolo - I kind of like Bill Maher. I don't agree with him on everything, let's say I disagree with like 30% of his points. But rest of it is kind of on point? And that's fine, I don't have to agree with people on everything. Actually that's one of the points I liked from him - to learn to disagree. In today's polarized world that's a surprisingly refreshing idea. On the other hand I fundamentally disagree with him on Covid-19. So yeah. Also I find myself laughing at his jokes quite a lot, he has good writers imo

to perpetuate backwards gender roles

I never even suggested that. Where did you get that from? All I'm saying is, people in power aren't your friends.

Although is it a good thing that me and my wife work like crazy to keep our family going? Is this really what life is about? I'd love to be stay at home dad, yet I can't

I literally said it's a positive thing, just that motivation of people in power is cynical. Also I didn't mention communism, I meant it in general regardless of regime

Maybe a bad choice of words on my part, maybe I should write "not because it's right, but because it doubles the workforce"

Although whether "double the workforce" is good or bad, I'd keep that for a discussion, see my other comment for more info: https://lemmy.world/comment/16185467

Sorry for late response and I see the comment is now deleted by a mod but whatever (well we're on .ml after all).

What I was trying to point out, was the "cynical" part of it. That people in power often don't do it because they want to empower women or help people, more often than not it's just that it brings more people into their "meat grinder" - regardless of the regime. In case of capitalism it's obvious but it doesn't need to be money necessarily; in the case of Stalin - pardon me if I don't believe that he did it for "supporting women rights and making the world a better place ✌️", he did it for the raw economic power to compete with US during cold war and so his own country wouldn't collapse because of his stupid actions.

Whether doubling the workforce is a good thing - that I'd keep up for a debate. I deliberately didn't want to say anything in that area, I'm just saying that the motivation of people in power is cynical, not saying if result is good or bad.

But if you'd want my personal stance - I do believe that in order to achieve welfare/prosperity, not all the people have to work. And I do believe that there are more important things in life than working. I'd love to be a stay at home dad, but I can't. Even though my country sort of supports it, my pay would cut dramatically and we as a family wouldn't be able to survive.

But honestly thank you for asking. It's very refreshing to meet a person who asks and tries to understand the motivation of the commenter rather than jumping right to the conclusion (as almost every other response here)

Thanks! Cross-posted there

Oh! I didn't know it has a latin origin. Then I guess it makes sense but still ...

Sigh, I have just one problem with Tuta - why such a stupid, stupid name?! I can already imagine myself on the phone saying "yes, T. U. T. A. Tuta dot com"
