All of that is wrong. Phrases like
barefoot and pregnant were invented to be a criticism, these sorts of things are never advocated for, except perhaps by the fringiest fringe who you can't reasonably describe as "conservative". It's a strawman illusion that you've been fed. Respect for homemakers is not saying anyone should be trapped in the home. Saying a husband ought to provide for his family is not the same as saying it matters that he makes more money than his wife. Certain jobs just are for bigger, stronger people, there's no way you're actually going to disagree with that. There is the slightest crumbs of truth buried in there that you might grasp onto, but the way you see it is pure propaganda, invented to smear people.
You've heard absolutely none of this from conservative outlets and politicians, you've heard it from your own side trying to convince you their opponents are evil.
Buddy, I've heard it directly from the horse's mouth, over and over again. I've read it in conservative papers and heard it from conservative politicians directly. This is not stuff I've heard described by commentators on my side. It's stuff conservatives have been
very loudly, very proudly insisting for bloody decades.
I find it stunning that you'd have so little conception of what your own political camp has been peddling. I can only conclude either 1) you're lying, or 2) you genuinely cannot comprehend that people you support hold different societal values to you.
