As everyone knows, I am no feminist, but the concept of "wifely duties" is extremely antiquated, and harkens back to a day when married women were expected to exist mainly to serve their husband.Originally Posted by podcast
You simply cannot have a successful modern marriage if you talk about "wifely duties", even if there is a division of labor in the marriage where the wife does a lot of things similar to what wives in the '50s did.
I do think both people in a marriage need to contribute something, especially if both people are roughly around the same age, and it's not one of those trophy marriage situations.
If Crowder's wife was just wanting to sit home and do nothing, while making Crowder do all the work and make all the money, I'd totally be on his side. However, in this video she was 8 months pregnant, and all she wanted to do was take the car, and was even willing to buy him what he wanted at the grocery store while doing so. He was totally out of line in this whole thing.
Normally when a video like this is released, I would say that it wouldn't mean much, as everyone can have a bad day and act irrationally with their spouse or partner. So one incident of Crowder acting like a jerk doesn't mean he's an awful guy. The problem is that Crowder has long been said to be a controlling and entitled asshole to basically everyone who works with him, so it's not a big stretch to believe that the mistreatment of his wife we see here was fairly routine.
