there are a lot of women in jeebus camp who've been indoctrinated since birth to do what they're told by men. they argue that it frees them of the 'burden' of thinking for themselves and making their own decisions. because the belief that those things are too much work for a woman is part of the indoctrination
A lot of working class men and enbies are taught to think that way too when it comes to questioning Capital or the government. Most people want to avoid pain and effort. If society tells them that taking responsibility for their own lives is painful, they won't do it. Look at how many people "hate talking about politics". It's learned helplessness. They don't want to be involved in making the decisions that affect their lives. They want a strong person to do it for them. That's why fascism is able to fester.
As a relatively indecisive person (after I found out about Lemmy it took me around two years to decide on an instance to sign up to), I totally get the zen of not having to make your own decisions.
What I don't get is wanting to force my choice on others.
letting someone else decide for you IS a decision (which you're 100% free to make), but it has consequences just like any other decision. maybe it's easier to just blame someone else for everything that goes wrong--i could never live that way
