This piece is amazing. It is heart-breaking in its accuracy and truth, but it is AMAZING. It's gonna be up in my head and my soul for a long long time.
So many thoughts and feelings around this - thank you for sharing it and I'll be mulling on it for a while! I do have to say though, the amount of times when someone asks me how I'm doing and my head immediately supplies "Not well, bitch" speaks to how deeply I've been a student of the housewives. 😁
Marcie, this is excellent. I wasn’t raised to be that type of woman (whole other story) but I remember Marabel Morgan well and headed her words. Thankfully it was for a very short period of time. But I spent a lifetime torn between who to actually be and who I was expected to be. So many things that I would change. Thank you for putting this together.
100% yes! I say as a woman who is and has been a housewife/stay-at-home-mom for 18 years. This is exactly why Gen Z is constantly exclaiming, "Smash the patriarchy!" So much harm has been done and is being perpetuated. I don't know how to stop it exactly, but I appreciate that it's being acknowledged.
This is fantastic. 🔥

Wow, those ads! 😳
I remember hearing years ago that Mormon women were the single most depressed demographic in America. This may be why.
I spent my time in the “healing and growth” corner of my midsized church too. It was a great place to be… but I didn’t absorb all the lessons well 🤣😉

I’m reading “women talking” right now and phew, it’s hard to read but so good. The tentacles of patriarchal theology run so so deep. 💔
