      Could be similar energy to women who proudly want to be trad wives. And those who think that because they had it shitty, others should also have to go through that.

      On another note, I wonder what the divide looks like for women who start with that mindset naively and then end up a) getting lucky and not getting burnt by that mindset (and stay naive about it), b) consider it a rite of passage or the way things should be (and continue supporting it despite no longer being naive about it), or c) change their mindset after enough wake-up calls. There’s probably also some that start out as b) but then changes to a c) when they see the same shit happening to their daughters or nieces or other loved ones and decide that’s too much. At least I’d hope so.

      It’s actually below the lizardman constant.

      In 2013 a Public Policy Polling poll found

      four percent of Americans believe lizardmen are running the Earth", which Alexander attributed to people giving a polling company an answer they did not really believe to be true, out of carelessness, politeness, anger, or amusement
