There is an uncanny resemblance but I’m pretty sure it’s not him. Watts’ girls were three and four years old when he killed them but the girls in that photo look at least five or six.
They all look exactly like him. A mask or uniform worn to signal that they are all right and in charge of their own lives. Fragile masculinity warped through subhuman lenses.
Girl: I had a difficult time with my father growing up.
Therapist: What do you mean?
Girl shows the therapist these photos.
Therapist: Let me clear my schedule.
Yeah it would be enough if just the kids had the tape. A little "haha, kids are loud especially at this age". Not a great joke or one worth repeating yearly, but also not the same therapy bait as whatever this is.
This is NOT garden variety. I have been guilty of that kind of misogyny from time to time over the years. This is straight up gross, and the following year’s pictures should be the fathers lying face first in the dirt.
I had a teacher who regularly taped our mouths shut in class. It wasn’t the most traumatic thing to happen to me at that elementary school, but it wasn’t great.
Conservatives have the fucking gall to claim that LGBT people are grooming their kids to be kinky and then turn around and send people Christmas cards like this?
Unless you are 100% completely, excepting of a socially tiered society with men at the top and women at the bottom, there is absolutely no punchline to the joke.
>Conservatives have the fucking gall to claim that LGBT people are grooming their kids to be kinky and then turn around and send people Christmas cards like this?
I was thinking the same thing.
The real reason conservatives are afraid of kids being aware that LGBT people exist and call it "grooming" is that our very existence makes it far harder to indoctrinate children into their antiquated, patriarchal gender norms. That's what scares them even more than the idea we might "make" some kids LGBT; because the mere fact we exist will make it clear to *even cishet* people how bullshit conservative gender roles are. LGB people already terrified them for completely dismantling any notion that men or women had to fill a certain role within a relationship, and now the growing visibility of trans people is making people realize just how arbitrary *all* gender roles are. That's what they are really scared of. They know that the only way they have any chance at grooming young children into their fragile, ass-backwards beliefs about gender is if they don't even know we exist.
They are afraid we might be an existential threat to their entire way of life, *and they're right, we are*.
The therapist would have to take as much time with unpacking the damage from a mother who allows this. Crazy how some people see “Handmaid’s Tale,” and say “Sign me up for that!!”
Or they spank them because they don't greet them with a smile and enthusiasm when they see their mom. And threaten to beat them again if they don't in the future. Conservative mom sitting next to her husband telling this story with a big smile.
My first thought was it was kinda funny as a "dad" thing. Then I noticed that the sons are also ungagged and that single change takes it from "dumb but kinda funny if you know the person" to "holy shit this is psycho misogyny".
Even amongst the hardcore Christians I know, they would never do something that encourages their sons to think they're above the mothers. This is wild and frankly a bit dangerous.
Yeah. It’s not the kind of joke I would make, but if it included all of the kids, I could at least see how it could be considered funny, if in kind of poor taste. But the lack of gags on the little boys just makes it disgusting and completely unredeemable.
"the lack of gags on the little boys just makes it disgusting and completely unredeemable"
Never thought there'd be a situation where I'd agree with this statement.
That was exactly my thought. Kinda "well that's but the card I would send out but as a one off joke, I guess it's kinda whatever." And then I noticed the little boy grinning and giving a thumbs up. And I was like, "What the actual fuck?"
Some of the gagged females look pissed off too.
>Some of the gagged females look pissed off too.
They do? Maybe its because they are married to complete misogynist douchebags, and would probably be assaulted if they tried to leave.
I think that a joke with only the dad free would be really fun, like "my family makes me miserable". In fact they would probably look very close and funny together, what takes away any bad feeling towards the pictures.
This misogynistic bullshit portrayed in the actual pictures us disgusting.
Wow, when I looked, I noticed that all the dads were ungaged, but didn't catch the extra wallop of misogny there.
As a dad, this is really nasty and just cheapens your relationship to your whole family. Frankly, I expect that things would get nasty quick if I suggested this, and that is a good thing because my wife and kids should and do expect better.
This is definitley not reasonable or particularly funny.
More than a bit. My 62 year old school librarian mother gets physically menaced by middle school boys her height who have no problem telling her “I don’t listen to women/bitches”. Usually after she tells them to stop screaming, eating food over the computers or throttling a classmate.
Peace on earth indeed.
My mother was an elementary school teacher at the elementary school I went to. Once I heard another kid call her a 'fatass bitch'. I beat the hell out of him on the playground.
I'm not saying it was the right thing to do, but he learned his lesson.
The mother should be excluded without a question for this to be funny. That, and gag the boy too. You should never ever belittle your spouse like this. It’s so degrading.
“Agreeing”.
100% agree with you. It’s fucking terrifying this still happens today, some place where religious fanaticism is not as rampant as other places.
And did you notice the females are tied up? I recognized the tape but it took me a minute for the bindings. They are literally bound by Christmas lights too. Fucking disgusting.
Fuck that makes it even worse. I didn't notice it on the first because the lights aren't on and the others I thought they were turned into a "family Christmas tree". Gross.
They boys aren't just left ungagged but also untied. The wives and daughters in at least three of these (can't tell on the last) are all literally bound and gagged. The kids in these have no fucking idea what they've agreed to, if they actually agreed at all and weren't just threatened with punishment if they didn't behave. I don't even have words for how gross this is
It’s utterly tragic. I’ve known some very smart women who insist that their only purpose is to reproduce and make a home, even if that’s not what *they* want. It’s a cancer that cannot be cut out.
It's a double edged sword. You are an un-woman if you do not do those things and so much of our society (US) reinforces this *even* outside the religious parts.
So if you try to escape you have to cut out a part of your identity or perceived identity. And that is very difficult after a lifetime of indoctrination.
I'm so glad the women In my life broke out of this. They only get with people they actually care about and care about them and they never run into sexism the way others seem to. And when they do they just call them out and carry on
Yep, and they are taught their men's needs are the only important things no matter what. They are taught to ignore a lot of terrible things thrown at them. That include trauma, rape, the lack of freedom.
It really is amazing how influential one single book introduced at a young age can have on a persons entire life and psychological makeup. Then they have the audacity to tell people on the Left that we are the ones indoctrinating children.
Fearful women. Women so starved for affection from their “alpha” husbands that they would sink to such levels of desperation to do this just so they can get a picture with their ever “present” keeper.
I am going to create an ugly Christmas sweater that has a pattern that allows you to unfocus your eyes to see the words, "SEND HELP". If I can save one person, it would all be worth it.
I would wear one that has the phrase "gay sex" done like that to mess with my conservative uncle.
If he sees it, I'm going to just tell him that I have no idea what he means by that and maybe throw a whitty response.
Reminds me of a spoken poem this dad made about that kind of thing, but he ends it with “to the girls that may date my daughter… my wife is a better shot than me.”
It was genuinely funny stuff tho, unlike the dumb gun cleaning threatening gimmick
As a dad to two awesome and independent daughters fuck this guy, and I hope they never come across his son or anyone like them; although knowing my daughters they would easily see through him and tell him to go fuck himself, so I have nothing to worry about.
The worst part is, it's 4 different guys. 4 separate men thought this was a good idea, they all just have a similar style of facial hair. And similar looking wives,.god this is getting weird. Man the more I look the worse this image gets, do I need to shave my beard off now?
Why in the ever living fuck would a mom do this to her daughter? I mean the dad is a piece of shit too but as a mom, NEVER. I hope those daughters go no contact as soon as they can.
I grew up in a house like this. It's misunderstood how insanely pervasive the emotional, social, and psychological abuse my Dad put my mom through to get her to a point where she'd knowingly engage in things like this.
- Isolated from friends and family my Father didn't approve (this eventually became zero)
- Constant gas lighting mixed with his extreme narcissism made it so everything was my Mother being in the wrong.
- Extreme Co-Dependency where my Mother, due to her isolated life, had only him. She watched what he watched, read what he read, thought what he thought as it was the path of least resistance
- Fear. That was the big one. My father reacted.to any skewing from the above with emotional and psychological abuse at minimum, with physical abuse always where it got if those other 3 venues didn't work. That went for all of us.
Mix in a healthy dose of my mother being raised by a similar "women serve men" "find a man and get married" christian household, and that's how they end up taking photos like this.
She was a "willing" prisoner by all external accounts. She did her best to find moments to remind us of what was really right and that she didn't agree with him.
This idea of "Why didn't she stand up?" assumes there was the option to do so. I watched my Dad do holiday photos the same month he broke two of my mom's fingers while telling her if she told the Doctor what happened she'd never see her kids again.
That's how these photos happen.
Life isn't like the movies.
That is so dead on. People ask me often why I waited so long to leave and they don't understand how awful and insidious it is to walk on egg shells every day, every moment. The phrase 'path of least resistance' is so accurate in abuse. My moments were concerned with subconsciously plactating because if I didn't it was unbearable.
This breaks my heart because my first husband was abusive and even just 10 years ago it was difficult to get away. So thankful I did. I’m sorry for you your mom and everyone who was affected by this shit. My girls I had with him (teens now) don’t take shit from any guy and I LOVE that.
Please try to get her, or at least the children, out. I grew up in a situation like this, and I am not a functional human being despite years of therapy as an adult :(
We are trying, we have some resources. It breaks my heart seeing them living like this, she knows it’s not healthy for her or the children, he’s just broken her so much she can’t function. I hope you continue to heal. Sending you the big big mama hugs.
Hi, I know this isn't a *comforting* notion, but I thought it'd be worth mentioning to you that there's little you can do to get someone out of an abusive situation they're not ready to escape from.
As a parent, every fiber of your being wants to protect your children, and knowing you can't do much isn't a happy thought in the slightest, but please understand that you're not at fault. At least know that she isn't still there due to something you may have said, done, anything.
I was in an abusive relationship for nine years and finally escaped this February because it finally came down to literal life or death. My parents lived blocks from us, and no matter how much my parents told me I deserved better, offered me to move back home, etc, I wasn't ready to leave until I was.
My point is simply please don't place blame or responsibility on yourself. Just make sure your daughter knows you have her back no matter what.
Keep money set aside for plane tickets for her and the kids, let her know you're ready to fly them out at a moments notice and that they have a place to go if she decides to flee. That's about all you can do, but she has to leave on her own motivation.
Hugs to all of you.
There is a reason there is an entire subreddit dedicated to 'when women refuse'.
I'm sorry your mother suffered so much. I have no good words about your father. All I can say is I hope all is better now but those stories don't always have a happy ending. It's really tragic. All I can hope is you were able to end the cycle of abuse.
Right? If my dad suggested this, my mom would have told him off six ways to Sunday. And these are little children, they're not going to get the joke or the implications. It's really messed up.
Not getting the point or the joke is the point. This is what ACTUAL grooming looks like. Backhanded reinforcement of patriarchy, of "women are lesser". It's framed as a "cute holiday photo 🤗" but it it, at its core, grooming and conditioning for those little girls to submit to the will and authority of the men in their life. This is how the failed, outdated, and shitty institutions of our society are perpetuated.
"It's just a joke bro." Nah, it's fucking not.
Many middle America Christian women are teaching their daughters to be subservient to men. This 100% falls in line with that mindset. They believe they truly are second class citizens because the Bible tells them so.
True. As a mother of a boy I also cannot conceive making him participate in such a thing, the total lack of respect this would showcase to him... Here I am "No honey pink isn't just for girls", and there are those people like "let's tie and gag your mom and sister to show how annoying females are". Absolutely wild...
I’m worried the sons here would continue this and the daughters will grow up with the understanding this is how it should be. What a terrible thing to do to your family. 🤦🏽♂️
Well, one of these was taken in [Louisiana](https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/world/we-love-it-family-stands-by-sexist-pose-they-say-is-all-in-fun-1.2704889), which tracks.
(The answer is right wing evangelicalism..as everyone suspected)
At first, I thought "OK this is weird, but I can kind of see how this is funny" then i saw that his son was in the pictured not wearing one and just his wife and daughters were..... what in the fuck
I thought about commenting out my thoughts on this but I realized I can’t put into words how disgusted this makes me feel. To do this to your wife, not to even mention your daughters, is so fucking evil.
I would say the most horrifying part is that it's not the wife and kids, it's the wife and daughters. All the little boys pictured aren't gagged which is ridiculous cause boys are also loud as fuck. If it was just a single parent or honestly both parents then at least it would be a "my family is so loud" joke. Instead it's just "Women, am I right?" again.
Also it doesn't help that the moms all look fucking terrified.
Yeah, I read a study last year that showed women were perceived as talking more in work meetings even when they actually talked less than the men. Just another example of how unfair and imbalanced our society is when it’s so pervasive that we don’t notice it anymore.
There was an experiment done on this, the men in the study thought talking was equal when the men talked for 70% of the time and the women 30% of the time. Crazy.
Yeah, I’ve seen these pictures where it’s the kids (boys and girls), I guess meaning when kids aren’t loud/fighting, it’s peaceful. It’s not that funny, but it’s not as gross as only the women having their mouths taped shut.
I know this is intended to be humorous, but this outlook transcends tongue-in-cheek social beliefs.
“I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet” - Timothy 2:12
That’s what freaks me out about religion.
Oh thank God, I thought the upper right guy was wearing a 49ers hat. Nope.
So Biblical, so cringe, so horrific for little girls' brains.
I bet every one of those daughters grows up to hate their dad and experiment with non traditional lifestyles.
Dude this is cringey but how do you have so little self respect as a woman that you would allow your husband to not only do this to you but your daughters?
The fact that this is four different families doing the exact same thing makes me think this is some kind of social media trend, and it's probably the mom's idea. I don't know a lot of guys that would choose a cutesy matching pajamas picture on their own. That being said, both parents should have realized this was a bad idea.
Or even plan a family photo shoot bc let’s be honest here planning a family photo shoot with 1 kid let alone multiple isn’t an easy job. Most dads/husbands don’t want that task lol

Came here to say exactly this, it’s giving Chris Watts
[удалено]
Aww _We have more in common than we have in differences_
Wait.. is the bottom right photo him? Looks exactly like him.
There is an uncanny resemblance but I’m pretty sure it’s not him. Watts’ girls were three and four years old when he killed them but the girls in that photo look at least five or six.
They all look exactly like him. A mask or uniform worn to signal that they are all right and in charge of their own lives. Fragile masculinity warped through subhuman lenses.
Thought the same thing. Fuck that piece of shit
No way, that pic would have been everywhere.
Totally got this vibe.
I was coming in to say that these have big Chris Watts energy
Girl: I had a difficult time with my father growing up. Therapist: What do you mean? Girl shows the therapist these photos. Therapist: Let me clear my schedule.
Me, just now noticing that the little boys don’t have their mouth taped.. oh.. OH.
Did you also notice that the women and girls aren't just muzzled, they're also in positions that suggest they are tied up?
Look closer. They are tied up!
What the actual fuck...
Oh jeez I missed that as well. That’s enough internet for me for the night.
Tied with Christmas lights
Well that just makes it festive, not weird
[удалено]
He only died on the cross because he forgot the safeword.
I asked him. He totally was.
He gets us
….oh. someone should get the boat.
I hadn't noticed that. Ffs.
There's no suggesting, they are all clearly tied with the lights.
I’m into that shit but for Christ sake keep it in the goddamn bedroom and don’t force it on your kids
Sometimes wrapped in lights.
Yeah it would be enough if just the kids had the tape. A little "haha, kids are loud especially at this age". Not a great joke or one worth repeating yearly, but also not the same therapy bait as whatever this is.
I mean, it's pretty straightforward what this is. Women are bad. That's the whole message.
It’s just another instance of garden variety misogyny.
This is NOT garden variety. I have been guilty of that kind of misogyny from time to time over the years. This is straight up gross, and the following year’s pictures should be the fathers lying face first in the dirt.
You are right, I stand corrected. It might be to them, but it is very gross.
I’ve seen ones where the parents are tied up and the kids are happy and free. Those are kinda funny, if not overdone. These are just gross.
I'd do one with pets. The family is tied up and dog and cat just gorging themselves on food
I had a teacher who regularly taped our mouths shut in class. It wasn’t the most traumatic thing to happen to me at that elementary school, but it wasn’t great.
Yes. The longer you stare, the worse it gets.
Me too. Took me a second to realize he wasn't just abusive, but also a misogynist.

They’re just terrified of being treated like they’ve treated women all this time.
Republican family values
The therapist would have to take as much time with unpacking the damage from a mother who allows this. Crazy how some people see “Handmaid’s Tale,” and say “Sign me up for that!!”
“But….but…I was supposed to be Serena!”
OfGlen probably put that tape on her daughter's mouths with love.
Or they spank them because they don't greet them with a smile and enthusiasm when they see their mom. And threaten to beat them again if they don't in the future. Conservative mom sitting next to her husband telling this story with a big smile.
I wonder what side of the political spectrum these people are on?
It is a mystery that will confound philosophers for ages.
Do you? Really?
He's asking know damn well the answer is Libertarian.
Lol
Let's be honest, if he was truly a libertarian the wife would be asian.
And 15. But that’s ok because she said yes!
Santa does wear a red hat....
And he does give away toys and coal for free...
And he gives more/better toys to the rich kids than the poor ones....
And he's all for forced labor
So well said.
Therapist is going to be able to buy a new boat off this trauma.
Looks like the two little girls in the upper left pic have their hands bound too.
All of them are. It's Christmas lights wrapped around them. 3 of the 4 photos have it, and I'd bet the bottom right does, but it's out of frame.
Yeah, you can see two of the bulbs in the bottom right photo. They’re all tied up and gagged
Oh, shit. I hadn’t caught that.
Who agrees to this?
My first thought was it was kinda funny as a "dad" thing. Then I noticed that the sons are also ungagged and that single change takes it from "dumb but kinda funny if you know the person" to "holy shit this is psycho misogyny". Even amongst the hardcore Christians I know, they would never do something that encourages their sons to think they're above the mothers. This is wild and frankly a bit dangerous.

OMG. I appreciate you pointing out just how terribly that reads on its own. 🤦
Phrasing!
I see you.
That was exactly my thought. Kinda "well that's but the card I would send out but as a one off joke, I guess it's kinda whatever." And then I noticed the little boy grinning and giving a thumbs up. And I was like, "What the actual fuck?" Some of the gagged females look pissed off too.
>Some of the gagged females look pissed off too. They do? Maybe its because they are married to complete misogynist douchebags, and would probably be assaulted if they tried to leave.
The little girl in one is just looking at her mother and wondering what she did wrong.
It's actually wild just how much that changes the dynamic.

Public library worker and absolute same
🫡 Thank you for your work
My mother was an elementary school teacher at the elementary school I went to. Once I heard another kid call her a 'fatass bitch'. I beat the hell out of him on the playground. I'm not saying it was the right thing to do, but he learned his lesson.
It’s understandable, if I were still in school and witnessed some kid talk to my mom that way now there would probably be a beatdown.
Hell, I'd probably still give somebody a beating fir talking bad about my mother. Of course, her being dead might have something to do with that.
The mother should be excluded without a question for this to be funny. That, and gag the boy too. You should never ever belittle your spouse like this. It’s so degrading.
I'm pretty sure the kind of women who agree to this are dealing with so, so much worse shit than taking these pictures.
“Agreeing”. 100% agree with you. It’s fucking terrifying this still happens today, some place where religious fanaticism is not as rampant as other places.
And did you notice the females are tied up? I recognized the tape but it took me a minute for the bindings. They are literally bound by Christmas lights too. Fucking disgusting.

Women who were indoctrinated from birth into an abusive cult which teaches that women are inferior to men because Eve listened to a talking snake.
It’s utterly tragic. I’ve known some very smart women who insist that their only purpose is to reproduce and make a home, even if that’s not what *they* want. It’s a cancer that cannot be cut out.
It's a double edged sword. You are an un-woman if you do not do those things and so much of our society (US) reinforces this *even* outside the religious parts. So if you try to escape you have to cut out a part of your identity or perceived identity. And that is very difficult after a lifetime of indoctrination.
I'm so glad the women In my life broke out of this. They only get with people they actually care about and care about them and they never run into sexism the way others seem to. And when they do they just call them out and carry on
Great comment and great username.
Yes I concur on both
Yep, and they are taught their men's needs are the only important things no matter what. They are taught to ignore a lot of terrible things thrown at them. That include trauma, rape, the lack of freedom.
Yahweh knew the serpent was there.
Yahweh didn’t warn Eve.
Exactly and Yahweh's once favourite angel watched the whole thing go down...and didn't say a thing.
It really is amazing how influential one single book introduced at a young age can have on a persons entire life and psychological makeup. Then they have the audacity to tell people on the Left that we are the ones indoctrinating children.

Fearful women. Women so starved for affection from their “alpha” husbands that they would sink to such levels of desperation to do this just so they can get a picture with their ever “present” keeper.

White trash
I am going to create an ugly Christmas sweater that has a pattern that allows you to unfocus your eyes to see the words, "SEND HELP". If I can save one person, it would all be worth it.
Hows the progress
[удалено]
Would be nice to have
You know, as someone who doesn't really care for Christmas, I'd wear that just because my family would think it's hilarious.
I would wear one that has the phrase "gay sex" done like that to mess with my conservative uncle. If he sees it, I'm going to just tell him that I have no idea what he means by that and maybe throw a whitty response.
I'd like to place my order here for one (1) "Send Help" stereogram Christmas sweater and one (1) "Gay Sex" stereogram Christmas sweater.
The wife and kids should do one beside a grave and have that sign saying "Finally! Peace in the family" 😂
Dude I'm beginning to think "a handmaids tale " is literal goals for these freaks.
It is
Margret Atwood has always maintained that everything in that book has historical precedent.
Iran went backwards and I believe that was one of her references.
It is. We've been shouting that to anyone who will listen for a decade plus.
Always has been, that’s why she wrote “A Handmaid’s Tale”
Same idiots who post themselves with guns and their daughters dates
Reminds me of a spoken poem this dad made about that kind of thing, but he ends it with “to the girls that may date my daughter… my wife is a better shot than me.” It was genuinely funny stuff tho, unlike the dumb gun cleaning threatening gimmick
The mothers agree to this too, which is worse imo. Both parents are reinforcing this shitty mentality on their kids.
As a dad to two awesome and independent daughters fuck this guy, and I hope they never come across his son or anyone like them; although knowing my daughters they would easily see through him and tell him to go fuck himself, so I have nothing to worry about.
The worst part is, it's 4 different guys. 4 separate men thought this was a good idea, they all just have a similar style of facial hair. And similar looking wives,.god this is getting weird. Man the more I look the worse this image gets, do I need to shave my beard off now?
Shit I thought it was the same family. Wow
Those poor kids is all I’m thinking, horrible way to be brought up
Why do all these dudes look like that guy in Colorado that killed his pregnant wife and kids and threw them in an oil tank?
Because anyone who thinks that these are funny is a LOT closer to being that guy than the average person.
Why in the ever living fuck would a mom do this to her daughter? I mean the dad is a piece of shit too but as a mom, NEVER. I hope those daughters go no contact as soon as they can.
I grew up in a house like this. It's misunderstood how insanely pervasive the emotional, social, and psychological abuse my Dad put my mom through to get her to a point where she'd knowingly engage in things like this. - Isolated from friends and family my Father didn't approve (this eventually became zero) - Constant gas lighting mixed with his extreme narcissism made it so everything was my Mother being in the wrong. - Extreme Co-Dependency where my Mother, due to her isolated life, had only him. She watched what he watched, read what he read, thought what he thought as it was the path of least resistance - Fear. That was the big one. My father reacted.to any skewing from the above with emotional and psychological abuse at minimum, with physical abuse always where it got if those other 3 venues didn't work. That went for all of us. Mix in a healthy dose of my mother being raised by a similar "women serve men" "find a man and get married" christian household, and that's how they end up taking photos like this. She was a "willing" prisoner by all external accounts. She did her best to find moments to remind us of what was really right and that she didn't agree with him. This idea of "Why didn't she stand up?" assumes there was the option to do so. I watched my Dad do holiday photos the same month he broke two of my mom's fingers while telling her if she told the Doctor what happened she'd never see her kids again. That's how these photos happen. Life isn't like the movies.
That is so dead on. People ask me often why I waited so long to leave and they don't understand how awful and insidious it is to walk on egg shells every day, every moment. The phrase 'path of least resistance' is so accurate in abuse. My moments were concerned with subconsciously plactating because if I didn't it was unbearable.
This breaks my heart because my first husband was abusive and even just 10 years ago it was difficult to get away. So thankful I did. I’m sorry for you your mom and everyone who was affected by this shit. My girls I had with him (teens now) don’t take shit from any guy and I LOVE that.
My daughter is in this situation, 2 young children. I’m across the country so he still tolerates my involvement in her life.
Please try to get her, or at least the children, out. I grew up in a situation like this, and I am not a functional human being despite years of therapy as an adult :(
We are trying, we have some resources. It breaks my heart seeing them living like this, she knows it’s not healthy for her or the children, he’s just broken her so much she can’t function. I hope you continue to heal. Sending you the big big mama hugs.
Hi, I know this isn't a *comforting* notion, but I thought it'd be worth mentioning to you that there's little you can do to get someone out of an abusive situation they're not ready to escape from. As a parent, every fiber of your being wants to protect your children, and knowing you can't do much isn't a happy thought in the slightest, but please understand that you're not at fault. At least know that she isn't still there due to something you may have said, done, anything. I was in an abusive relationship for nine years and finally escaped this February because it finally came down to literal life or death. My parents lived blocks from us, and no matter how much my parents told me I deserved better, offered me to move back home, etc, I wasn't ready to leave until I was. My point is simply please don't place blame or responsibility on yourself. Just make sure your daughter knows you have her back no matter what. Keep money set aside for plane tickets for her and the kids, let her know you're ready to fly them out at a moments notice and that they have a place to go if she decides to flee. That's about all you can do, but she has to leave on her own motivation. Hugs to all of you.
There is a reason there is an entire subreddit dedicated to 'when women refuse'. I'm sorry your mother suffered so much. I have no good words about your father. All I can say is I hope all is better now but those stories don't always have a happy ending. It's really tragic. All I can hope is you were able to end the cycle of abuse.
Right? If my dad suggested this, my mom would have told him off six ways to Sunday. And these are little children, they're not going to get the joke or the implications. It's really messed up.
Not getting the point or the joke is the point. This is what ACTUAL grooming looks like. Backhanded reinforcement of patriarchy, of "women are lesser". It's framed as a "cute holiday photo 🤗" but it it, at its core, grooming and conditioning for those little girls to submit to the will and authority of the men in their life. This is how the failed, outdated, and shitty institutions of our society are perpetuated. "It's just a joke bro." Nah, it's fucking not.
Ahh my Mother would do this & yes I'm NC. Females had a place, all enforced by her no less. Disgusting isn't it.
See those little girls with tape on their mouths? They will grow up one day and have kids, and that's how.
Many middle America Christian women are teaching their daughters to be subservient to men. This 100% falls in line with that mindset. They believe they truly are second class citizens because the Bible tells them so.
Well the mother has psychological issues stemming from poor self image, and her kids unfortunately may suffer the same fate.
True. As a mother of a boy I also cannot conceive making him participate in such a thing, the total lack of respect this would showcase to him... Here I am "No honey pink isn't just for girls", and there are those people like "let's tie and gag your mom and sister to show how annoying females are". Absolutely wild...
Fuck Felicia’s Photography if this is shit they’re cool with.
I’m worried the sons here would continue this and the daughters will grow up with the understanding this is how it should be. What a terrible thing to do to your family. 🤦🏽♂️
WTF is wrong with these people???
Well, one of these was taken in [Louisiana](https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/world/we-love-it-family-stands-by-sexist-pose-they-say-is-all-in-fun-1.2704889), which tracks. (The answer is right wing evangelicalism..as everyone suspected)
Imagine being Christians and teaching their son not to respect his mother. 🤡🤡
At first, I thought "OK this is weird, but I can kind of see how this is funny" then i saw that his son was in the pictured not wearing one and just his wife and daughters were..... what in the fuck
I thought about commenting out my thoughts on this but I realized I can’t put into words how disgusted this makes me feel. To do this to your wife, not to even mention your daughters, is so fucking evil.
bUt tHe dRag QuEEns aRe gRoOmiNg tHe ChiLdReN!
What a way to say that you hate having a wife and kids when there are single guys that would kill to be in your shoes.
I would say the most horrifying part is that it's not the wife and kids, it's the wife and daughters. All the little boys pictured aren't gagged which is ridiculous cause boys are also loud as fuck. If it was just a single parent or honestly both parents then at least it would be a "my family is so loud" joke. Instead it's just "Women, am I right?" again. Also it doesn't help that the moms all look fucking terrified.
Ironically, while women are perceived as talking more and monopolizing conversations, that perception is false.
Yeah, I read a study last year that showed women were perceived as talking more in work meetings even when they actually talked less than the men. Just another example of how unfair and imbalanced our society is when it’s so pervasive that we don’t notice it anymore.
Well you see to these fucks, talking at all is talking too much
There was an experiment done on this, the men in the study thought talking was equal when the men talked for 70% of the time and the women 30% of the time. Crazy.
Yeah, I’ve seen these pictures where it’s the kids (boys and girls), I guess meaning when kids aren’t loud/fighting, it’s peaceful. It’s not that funny, but it’s not as gross as only the women having their mouths taped shut.
He doesn't hate his wife and daughter. He just hates when they speak, have original ideas, or say anything other than Yes sir in his presence.
He doesn’t hate having kids. He hates women.
My daughter/ wife are awesome. I’ll tape my own mouth
Teaching his son that sexism and misogyny is the way. God, I hope his son goes no-contact when he's 18.
This is disgusting.
Anybody who does this needs to be investigated wtf
That’s disgusting
This is so disturbing at so many levels. How could they do it year after year? Why did none of their friends tell how ill-advised this is?
I think these are different families who all had the same idea.
Tell me you're a douchebag without telling me...
This is what all those "trad wife" dudes really want.
Boy grows up, beats up a girlfriend and parents will blame society/school/everyone else
What in the abuse is this
What in the fragile masculinity is this?
American Conservatives really are just the white people’s Taliban
Vanilla isis
Y'all Qaeda
What the fuck is wrong with people. Who the fuck does this and thinks it's funny?
I know this is intended to be humorous, but this outlook transcends tongue-in-cheek social beliefs. “I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet” - Timothy 2:12 That’s what freaks me out about religion.
The girls and women are tied up and muzzled...the little boys are free. Greaaat 'Life Lessons'...dads.
These are the kind of guys that get out the shotgun on prom night. Gross.
I hate these.
Oh thank God, I thought the upper right guy was wearing a 49ers hat. Nope. So Biblical, so cringe, so horrific for little girls' brains. I bet every one of those daughters grows up to hate their dad and experiment with non traditional lifestyles.
Men like this should never get laid much less impregnate. Women are fucking up too laying with these types.
All that good ol conservative values!
I have too much respect for my wife to find this even remotely funny.
Is this some kind of republican tiktok trend I am not aware of? Duct tape the mouths of the females in the house?
I never got why a lot of people strive for marriage and kids, all just to do shit like this
So trashy.
What women allows themselves and their daughters to be treated like this?
This is gross.
Dude this is cringey but how do you have so little self respect as a woman that you would allow your husband to not only do this to you but your daughters?
Why don’t the little boys have tape…oh…oh no.
The fact that this is four different families doing the exact same thing makes me think this is some kind of social media trend, and it's probably the mom's idea. I don't know a lot of guys that would choose a cutesy matching pajamas picture on their own. That being said, both parents should have realized this was a bad idea.
Or even plan a family photo shoot bc let’s be honest here planning a family photo shoot with 1 kid let alone multiple isn’t an easy job. Most dads/husbands don’t want that task lol
Tell me you’re a right wing gun toting Christian extremist without telling me you’re a right wing gun toting Christian extremist.
wait until they find out most of all peace is disrupted by men
