"Raised To Serve My Wife" Variation

Shortly after the "raised to serve my husband" variations grew popular, a "copypasta" variation featuring "I was raised to serve my wife" began growing popular on Twitter. Contrary to the "husband" variations, these largely served to express adoration for a female celebrity or fictional character. The copypasta reads:

call me old fashioned but i was raised to serve my wife. clean up after her. take care of her every day and cook for her every night. my wife’s needs come first. if my wife cheats on me it means i’ve fucked up and i need to address myself.

An early example was posted on July 24th, 2019, by @lisaismylifee[5] and featured Lisa from Blackpink, gaining over 20 retweets and 80 likes in four years (shown below, left). On July 20th, 2023, Twitter user @ZonaNemona[6] posted a variation featuring Nemona from Pokémon, gaining over 25 retweets and 270 likes in one week (shown below, right).

You know, say what you want about "traditional wives" and the desire to be one. But this girl really was asking for this kind of reaction. The whole thing just comes across as pretentious and try hard in the way counter-counter culture people often are. It's like if I tried to make a post boasting about how I'm not interested in dating. Expect even more obnoxious.

It's also just kind of a funny template. Like, I can't help but come up with my own versions of this speech even as I write this down.

It's mildly upsetting seeing so many people downplay and some demonize what is most likely the most important task in all of human history: being a parent.

People that treat parents like idiots and stay-at-home-moms/housewives like lepers are honestly the real fools, they will never understand the importance and difficulty of parenthood.
