In ancient Rome and Greece, the male children of the pater familias lived with their parents for their entire lives. This was part of the ancestral cult, caring for them until death.
It prevented a son’s wife from having power over him, because the authority over the property always belonged to the father of the male child.
The wife was the one who moved in with the husband, not the husband moving in with the wife. There were no modern problems in Greece and Rome regarding the division of property, alimony, or women's rights, because everything belonged to the father, who clearly favored his sons over his wives.
This only changed with cuckistianity (“Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” — Ephesians 5:31), which undermined the power of the pater familias and removed the ancestral cult.
And some christfags still have the nerve to say that paganism is longhoused, they really are idiots.
Feminism began there, when the power of the pater familias was challenged — not in the 20th century, but at the beginning of Christianity.

@phresh_arrow This is honestly an outdated take. Logically it just makes sense to stay at home if your parents are cool with it. You save money, and they have someone to keep them company and help them in their old age. It just makes the most sense. It's different if you have a wife and kids.
