Naturally, as a Slate reader, he's pretty beta. Notice he called it "stay-at-home parent" instead of "mom". They can afford to be a one income family but he's resenting her choice. He goes on to say he figures she must be suffering from mental illness or postpartum depression to feel as she does. This guy is seriously kiked.

Here's his letter in full:

I am a new father to a beautiful 10-month-old girl. My wife’s company has a generous maternity leave policy, and she has been at home with our daughter since the birth and is scheduled to go back to work just after her first birthday in January. She recently told me she doesn’t want to go back to her job and would like to be a stay-at-home parent instead. I asked her why, and she said she enjoys being a mother too much to leave our daughter to go back to work when she doesn’t need to. This is such a departure from our plans before the baby was born. She has a good job that she enjoyed before going on leave, and had always been adamant that she wanted to continue working even after becoming a mom. We met when we worked at the same company many years ago, and one of the things I was most attracted to was her ambition and tenacity. It’s really surprising to hear that her career isn’t that important to her anymore.

Honestly, I don’t want her to quit her job. She earns about the same as I do, and while we could make ends meet on my income alone, it would impact our ability to save, and we’d need to give up one of our cars and cut way back on “extras” that make life more enjoyable. I also just … don’t want a stay-at-home wife. I really admired my wife for her work ethic, and I want her to set a good example for our daughter, too. Seeing her give up like this is really disappointing.

I gently asked her if she thought her change in attitude could be related to a possible mental health issue or postpartum depression, but she didn’t take that well. She says she only cares about our daughter and that’s where all her energy needs to go right now, and that if I love her, I will let her do this. I do love my wife, and I’m not interested in divorce, but I’m seeing a whole new side of her that I just don’t like or admire. What should I do?

Jeff Bozos' grandpa helped start ARPA, which became DARPA. Ie, DARPANet which became, you know, the internet.

But Jeff was a totally real computer nerd who started Amazon.com in his basement! Look at this real, not staged picture! It has a graffiti-style sign, like real hackers! He has Hollywood-movie style overstuffed Christmastree-light extension cords! Just look at all those power cords!

Jeff is just like us. A hardworking guy whose grandpa worked for the Atomic Energy Commission, then headed a 26,000 person government agency, and then started the internet. Totally legit guys!

The TL;DW is that strippers earning less = tightening budgets = less disposable income. An interesting and unorthodox economic indicator.

Bought this last year and only now got around to checking it out. As its Deprogramming 101 subtitle suggests, this is merely a primer; deeper dives into its contents need to be found elsewhere through dozens of other sources (which it seems to reference fairly well).

While most of us are knowledgable of this book's subjects, it could be invaluable for JQing newcomers; it hits all the highlights of all the right topics, is an easy read with plenty of images, and redpilled quotes or trivia border every page. The chapters are typically only a few pages long, nail the bullet points, and quickly move on. Very easily digestible. I'll be buying more copies of this to give away to people.
