I was curious about anti-separatists, so I loosely went through the blogs belonging to married women on radblr. Here are the trends I noticed:
they're late 20's to mid 40's
they haven't had a job or social life since they married their husband
they are completely isolated from the outside world
they're agoraphobic and have no friends outside their husbands
they struggle with mental health and often were diagnosed with disorders like anxiety, depression, obesity and OCD
the symptoms for these disorders manifested sometime in the period of isolation that occurred after marrying their husbands.
they learned about radical feminism after marriage Alot of their lives vary, but the biggest pattern I've noticed is social isolation that occurred after marrying their husband. Alot of them are recovering, but even according to them, it took more than a decade to casually leave the house. it feels like something Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote. the more they self-isolate, the more dependent they become. After marrying, in time, they fall into roles subliminally intended by the patriarchy. dependent and isolated and enable to escape a cycle that having a husband guarantees
and they stay with them bc they're "nice" and they feel guilty because they're so dependent on them. So, they stay loyal to the cause of their problems, and thus the cycle continues.
edit: this is specifically about married women on radblr. not just average anti separatists with boyfriends
