So this is what happens when you let a sleeping dog lie

Dear Followers,

I vanish for a month, then reappear to find I have 10 more followers. Fancy that. This is a very small time blog, so 10 extra followers is a big deal. Thanks for the follows. I’ll do my best to reward your kindness by trying to queue 4 to 5 posts a day, with random bursts of high productivity if I suddenly have a need to procrastinate. I enjoy seeing all of your posts on my dash. Your posts both spur my own creativity, and they keep me sane.

To my pikapps, ODH.

To everyone else, thanks again. Now let’s go on an adventure.

Trophy Wives

Alright everyone. I have a question for you. It is something I have never genuinely understood. It is my hope that the citizens of tumblr (men, women, lgbtq individuals, anyone) can help shed light on this. So,

Why do some women make it their goal in life to become a trophy wife? Are there women who legitimately go through their lives up until marriage with the goal of becoming a trophy wife? Are there any married spouses who consider themselves to be a “trophy spouse”, or believe their significant other views them as a “trophy”, or view their significant other a “trophy”? Why does the concept of a trophy wife exist? Is the concept of the “trophy spouse” bound to a single gender or dependent on the genders of those being married?

I’m not trying to be sexist/stereotypical/misogynistic/etc, and I recognize using the word “wife” is gender-specfic and usually invokes an image of “traditional” marriage between “husband” and “wife”. I’m doing my best to approach this with an open mind. I’m just hoping to come up with a reasonable explanation for this particular phenomenon.

If you found this question interesting or thought-provoking, please pass it along. Do NOT follow me because of this, that’s not the point. I just hope that if enough people see this, a reasonable hypothesis might emerge from the noise. If I get enough feedback, I’ll compile it and share it. Unless this explodes, I’ll make a point to individually thank everyone who responds. And if you are interested in continuing the conversation, I’d be happy to do so.

So, what do you think?
