A woman who claims that feminism is “completely unnecessary” has sparked debate online after revealing that her husband pays her US$ 100 a week to cook and clean the family home.
Alyssa Dee, a 28-year-old influencer who frequently criticizes feminism on her social media, has been married to Tom, 51, for three years. The two met while serving in the military and are expecting their first child.
During her appearance on the My Extraordinary Family show on the Truly channel, she shared that she was working outside the home when she was engaged to Tom, but they both concluded that it would be more beneficial for their relationship if she became a full-time “housewife.”
“The deal was if I was terrible as a housewife, I’d go back to work. I wouldn’t say I’m a feminist. I think feminism is bad,” she explained in an eight-minute video posted on YouTube.
“Men love women so much that they would liberate us after they are completely liberated anyway. I believe feminism is completely unnecessary, and that it is a movement of female supremacy.”
Today, Aly does most of the household chores, such as cleaning, cooking, and laundry, and receives US$ 100 a week from her husband for her efforts. Despite concerns that Aly might be dependent on her husband, she claims to earn more than she did when she worked in the military.
The episode, which was posted on YouTube this past Monday (November 11), has already accumulated over 13,000 views and sparked debate in the comments section. “Do your thing, girl, but also know your worth and don’t be afraid to ask for it! You deserve more than $400 a month for all that work,” one user commented.
“I don’t care what you do in your own relationship. But claiming that feminism is bad because ‘men love women so much that they would liberate us after they are fully liberated anyway’ is a […] stupid thing to say,” argued another.
