If becoming one was fashionable and trendy then maybe but if not then no. Nowadays what's cool / trendy is to be an independent woman so most women want to be that but if it was being a gold digger that was cool then they would want to be one.
Housewife are stigmatized and seen as lazy parasite where I live some and I highly doubt more women would be one if it wasn't stigmatized cause the trends is to work not to be a housewife or gold digger so long as the trends of being an independent woman doesn't leave it doesn't matter wether or not gold digger stigmatized women wouldn't wish to be something that isn't trendy / seen as cool at the moment (not everyone follow what's cool but most people actually do).

The art of gold-digging, as complex as it can get really boils down to greed, and with most people being religious and following the bible or variation of it - well, greed is considered sinful, so it's not really a stigma around the finer arts of gold-digging, but a stigma about the amateur display of greed in direct contrast to societal 'norms'

While at the same time, we view capitalism and greed for "making" money as admirable and desirable goals. Religion is fairly quiet on this one, as expected.

I think to each their own. It's one way I suppose to become rich and important although I'd argue that there are better paths and values in life than simply being rich

Definitely... think about it; why the hell would you want to work for a comfortable life when you could wrap your legs around someone who has already made it and get your resources from him with minimal effort?

Have you been out on the street with not even a thread of fabric on your body?

That's what it would mean to have no possessions

@Juxtapose in that case food is a possession too and that means even animals have possessions.

@Juxtapose maybe you and I mean possessions in a different sense.

To me a possession is something that is not necessary for survival.

I was penniless but while not without the same outfit for every day (i had one or two at most pieces of clothing to wear) I was a skeleton. In my teenage and early 20s my ribcage was clearly visible and my arms were showing bones coated with my skin.

Not really the possessions themselves but money. Money is everything in this world. No money = death is coming slowly and it will be the true suffering.

Money is just a paper or digital ticket to possessions though.

Resources are important for survival inorder to have health, family and love. So therefore those things are important most.
