hello friends 😌 your friendly neighborhood non-tradwife here after a long silence that probably only felt significant to me. I have missed writing and interacting with folks on here very much. here’s what I’ve been up to!

I gave birth to a daughter last month. growing her was hard. I became very sick in the second trimester, spent half the year in pain, and while I was still able to find joy in my family and in nature and all of the usual things, my tendency to be inspired was weakened by what my physical self was experiencing. now that she has arrived, single-handedly lifting the great fog within moments, I have been looking back at all of the places I have been these last 9+ months, at last knowing who I was lugging along.

there is a wholeness that feels entirely new, and it’s come just in time for almost-spring. though there is fresh snow on every tree limb and hemlock needle, the birds know that now is when the winter begins to turn its heel toward Away, toward wherever cold goes to make way for warmth. soon I will bring my babies out to the mud, to the garden, to the going stream. I feel like I have just been stirred from a 9 month nap. my soul is well-rested and I’m ready to go.

I hope you all have been well in this life. I hope tumblr hasn’t changed too much while I’ve been away!

Trad Husbands

Traditional Husbands also have a huge part to play in a traditional marriage, although it’s not acknowledged by many of traditional individuals. So here’s a small list of the traditional husbands duties :

Make your wife feel protected, whether she’s with you or not.

Do the heavy lifting and fixing jobs around the house for your wife.

Always greet your wife with a kiss

Set an example to your daughter/s what a boyfriend should be like, and your sons how they should treat women.

Always bring gifts back from long work trips to show your loyalty and appreciation.

Make sure to remind your wife that you love her by taking her on dates, saying “i love you” frequently and holding her when she needs it.

Cater to her emotional and physical needs, like she does for you.

Give her days or time off, especially during pregnancy, birthdays and holidays in general.

This relationship is a balance, she looks good for you so make sure you’re hygienic and groomed for her.

Assure her consistently that she and her kids are completely provided for and protected as long as you live.

Support her in everything she does.

Women are a lot more emotional then their male counterparts so approach arguments and conflicts with caution and care.

Make sure you understand her boundaries and what she considers wrong etc, otherwise you’ll run into many arguments ( and obviously abide by these boundaries ).

Never talk badly to others about your wife. Even to your own parents and children.

This list isn’t all the duties of a traditional working husband, just a small guide. Although men and women aren’t equals, within a relationship it’s a balance. We have to work toward that balance by showing we have equal yet opposing duties.

Self-Care Ideas for Young Tradfems! ♡

In a modern age that believes in teaching young girls to be ‘girl bosses’ and ‘sexuality liberated’, it can become easy to be disillusioned/depressed and want to give up on your dream of finding your beloved husband. But, it’s very important to remember that before a girl can care for a family and spouse, she has to care for herself. As a young tradfem, here are some of the things I do to keep out of my disillusionment and to feel happy and feminine! ♡

((Also I apologize for poor English I’m not a native speaker))

Write down baby names, go to stores and look at all the adorable baby clothes and accessories

This had helped me keep my eyes on my goal of motherhood so much! It’s really nice to imagine the details of the wonderful godly family in your future.

Clean your bedroom daily and decorate it with your own feminine, aesthetic dream

This one is great for preparation to become a wife one day. Organizing up your personal space and decorating it to your liking not only shows you are ready to take care of a household, but that you have a feminine creativity.

Pray/take part in your religion

It can be anything from a rosary or a prayer before bed to volunteering at your Church. Absolutely any activity that brings you closer to God is an activity with meaning.

Bake sweets for the special people in your life

I’ve had so much fun with this one! As a tradfem, one of my duties one day will be to cook for my household, so knowing your way around the kitchen is an important skill for a woman to have! Besides, I love seeing the happy faces of my friends and family when I give them cookies or a cherry pie.

Babysit/take care of younger family members

This one is essential for a young lady wanting to become a housewife. I’m not at all an advocate for woman making money ((quite the opposite, actually)) but this is one way to make some extra money while staying true to your god-given purpose.

Take a bath or a shower at least once a day, brush your teeth, and wear deodorant/light body spray

This one may seem obvious, but it’s very important. Smelling and looking clean not only makes you more palatable to Christian men but gives your hair and skin a gentle, feminine glow.

Buy yourself one nice ((but still modest and traditional)) thing

This one can we tricky. You shouldn’t buy your self too much lest your life is filled with the sin of greed, but buying yourself a singular new necklace or that cozy sweater you’ve been wanting can make you feel really good.

Read some classic/conservative philosophy books

While I love listening to my favourite conservative podcasts and news programs, reading is a great way to relax and exercise your brain while learning about faith and tradition.

Take a walk/hike in a forest, beach, or other natural space

Not only is hiking good exercise for your body and brain, but seeing the wonderful world god created for us helps to feel closer to him.

Make a Pinterest board of your future home/dream wedding

This one is great for keeping your spirits up! It’s a great reminder of how lovely traditional aesthetics are and how a wonderful life is just around the corner.

Stop eating fast food/eat healthy/focus on weight loss

Being trim is a crucial part of being a future traditional wife. But eating healthy to stay thin, it not only shows that you have dedication to keep yourself looking well, it will help you fit into cuter clothes.

‘Honour thy mother and father’

Your parents are a gift from God; they carry the traditions and values that have shaped who you are. Honour them by cooking a meal for them, cleaning the house so they don’t have to, ect.

Make sure your wardrobe is modest and fits you well/prepare your clothes for the upcoming week

Every girl looks beautiful in a long skirt/dress. Go through your wardrobe, discard any immodest clothing and have fun making outfits for the days ahead.

Put on some light makeup

I should emphasize that you should only put on LIGHT makeup. God and your husband will love you for your natural beauty, so there’s no point in covering in up. I personally only use mascara, light eyeliner, colour-tinted chapstick and concealer, but I believe added a light blush or some naturally coloured lipstick is an ok addition.

Watch a movie that reinforces conservative values

Movies can awful when they push a radical feminist agenda, but not all movies are the same! There are still plenty of traditional tales about a princess getting swept off her feet by a traditional masculine man or someone on the wrong path who learns the importance of obeying Christ.

Knit something/sew something/croquet something/ modify your dresses using needle and thread

Not only is this hobby perfect for a traditional young lady, but it gives you a chance to show off your creativity and make wonderful gifts for the people you love or something lovely for yourself.

Make a cute rag-doll or teddy bear for a sweet little girl in your life

So many dolls in the modern day are overly sexualized, wearing tons of makeup and skimpy outfits, or look like men. Make a little girl in your life happy with a modest toy that’s a positive roll model.

Shave your legs, arms, and underarms

Modern feminism has pushed the message that body hair is ‘beautiful’, but this is blatantly untrue. No man would prefer a hairy, mannish pig over a well-groomed traditional lady, and most women feel more desirable ((because they are)) shaven.

Be early to bed, and early to rise

Getting enough rest is important for looking traditionally beautiful and healthy. Not only will you have more defined eyes, clearer skin, and a smaller waist line, but you will be left with enough energy to clean your room six times over.

Embrace your nations traditions

Research where your bloodline descends from and it’s traditions to practice. It’s our job as traditionalists to keep the bright minds and beliefs of our ancestors alive; they would be so proud of you for following in the path God designed! ♡

Make sure your nails are well-groomed and not too garish

Men aren’t attracted to fire truck-red monster claws, or stubby, bitten dirt coated nails; it’s a sign you don’t care enough for yourself. If your hands look pleasant, then their ready to bake bread, change diapers, and wear that wedding ring.

Always trust in God, even when it’s difficult or seems pointless

As a young woman without a husband yet, it may seem like God is against you, but that’s not true at all! God has chosen the perfect man for you, now all you have to do is have faith and stay submissive and pure for your future beloved! ♡

Just a reminder, if you belittle or hate on women for choosing a traditional role… you’re not a feminist. The real feminists gave women the right to choose.

(one of) the most frustrating parts about the portrayal of drow society is that it wants to create Reverse Sexism without uncoupling itself from some. pretty foundational patriarchal ideas. it ascribes to the (tired, essentialist) notion that men are inherently good at certain things, and women are inherently suited for different things

but rather than the basic subversion of “women are warriors and men are the homemakers” or even early feminist thought experiments like “traditionally ‘women’s priorities’ are given importance over ‘men’s’ (ie things are governed by council, importance is placed on childrearing, etc)”, menzoberranzan is “this society still holds to patriarchal values and women are not as good at these things which is why it’s demonstrably worse”.

the biggest tell is that they have to control the male population to maintain female dominance, the implication being that in a fair fight, men would easily overpower them. it assumes the misogynist ideas as fact that “women are inherently weaker” and also “women are duplicitous” so the drow fighting style is based on stealth and sabotage rather than “”honorable”” face- to-face combat (letting lie also the assumption that the only avenue for ambition is through military violence, and therefore still making it so that they are reliant on men, even as disposable shock troops, for their success).

the only things that keep women in charge are by stacking the numbers on a systematic level, and through sexual domination on the individual level (because clearly the only real power a woman can have over men is her sexuality).

it is a society where “men act like men” but women don’t act like women; it is evil because an act of god created an aberration against the “natural order” of things, and there is no one to tend the hearth (because if the women won’t do it, no one will)

#there’s just. so much to unpack #call me old fashioned but i think. if you’re trying to subvert something you should first understand how it actually works #now this is also mostly based off of what i read from the first couple drizzt novels and old lore on the wiki so like #it’s possible that they’ve tried to do a spit-polish retcon in 5e #but every time they’ve tried to do that with other things i feel like they also misunderstood the real issue so #either way i don’t have a lot of faith that this would have fundamentally changed #it’s probably just something like ‘yep we acknowledge it’s problematic but that’s bc lolth is eeeeevil so it’s supposed to be bad’#like i’m gonna be honest. i roll my eyes whenever Any fantasy society spends time codifying gender roles in this kind of way #there’s plenty of other races that are like ‘men are warriors and women are homemakers but both are equally important so it’s not sexist!!!#like they’re not just reinventing the wheel of victorian Separate Spheres #but what gets me about this one is how clear it feels that no one thought deeply about it #‘a matriarchy is when women act like men’#i have no source for this but it FEELS like it originated as a reactionary response to second wave feminism #‘women can do the same things men can do?? we should let them in positions of power??#this is what that looks like. checkmate feminists’#honestly i have learned a lot more about the way men think about women from fantasy bc #it rly shows their asses when you’re ostensibly removed from the world we live in #and the things they place importance on #mine #dnd

The Feminine Appearance Part 4 - Things You Might Not Notice!

We, as women, tend to focus so greatly on the macro-level details of ourselves that we end up neglecting whole other areas that may need improvement. We may not notice when something looks amiss about ourselves when focusing on so much, but it's almost certain that others around us do.

Physically, not everything has to be solely dedicated to your makeup, your hair, or your outfit. The feminine appearance has much more nuance than just how we dress.

I was inspired by a Mrs. Midwest video that I watched not to long ago that touched on this and was surprised at just what I was lacking in my self-presentation. Was it really that noticeable when I had poor posture, or I didn't do this or that?

The answer is most definitely YES. “It’s more about the way you carry yourself rather than what you look like." They are small things that you can do that can alter the way people look at you and make you much more feminine:

This one goes without saying but proper hygiene. Brush your teeth, wear deodorant, trim your nails, pluck your eyebrows, shower, and SHAVE. There's a surprising amount of women today that neglect these basic tasks.

That being said, keep these things private. You can't create the appearance of someone put together if you're clipping your nails or brushing your teeth in public.

If you aren't going to shave, wear tights or hose.

Wash your clothes or wear perfume.

Keep good posture. If you stand up straight, it tends to bring emphasis to your feminine form more, it makes you walk better, and not slouching makes you more attractive.

Keep your legs together, LITERALLY. When you sit, sit with your legs together or your legs crossed, whether at the ankles or at the knees.

"A lady is not lazy and sloppy." You have the ability to be the best you can be, so don't just stop at the big parts. The details matter as well!

-Scholastica

Truth be told: men and women are different, have different functions, duties and purposes.

If you seek to generate equality within your relationship, then you will not have a stronger couple.

What you are actually doing is taking both woman and man out of their nature. Both get weaker, the relationship doesn’t work and in the end... nobody understands each other. No one knows exactly what to expect from the other, no one knows what to offer.

If everything works for anyone, then nothing works for anyone.

The woman is not the center of strength, courage and decision in the house.

Just as the man is not the center of love, zeal and sensitivity in the house.

When a woman takes on a man's responsibilities, takes responsibility for providing, protecting and leading... then she ends up too stressed to nurture people with love and care, too tired to build her family with her zeal and wisdom, and runs out of time to make everything more beautiful. The house suffers. It becomes lifeless, helpless and ugly.

When a man assumes the responsibilities of a woman, and accepts being responsible for nurturing, building and beautifying... so he ends up too insecure to go in search of what the family needs, too weak to protect the people around him and too accommodating to make a firm decision and make things happen.

The woman is the one who nourishes the family with her love, who builds everyone around her with her zeal and makes everything more beautiful with her sensitivity.

The man, on the other hand, is the one who uses his strength to go in search of the resources that everyone needs, who courageously protects his family from all the dangers of the external world, who takes the lead, makes firm decisions and maintains the focus to lead the family.

This is the harmony your home needs.

A woman nurturing, building and beautifying everything... so that the man has the emotional peace and quiet needed to provide, protect and lead.

A man providing, protecting and leading... so that the woman has the security and confidence necessary to nurture, build and beautify.

why do you say you're not Trad when everything you post and have in your bio seems to be? is it because you don't like to admit you have something in common with some rather polite conservative women on here?

there are certainly aspects of my life that are more “traditional”, but I would imagine we both know that there’s more to being a tradwife than that.

growing your own food and nursing your babies doesn’t make you a tradwife. not sure what you’re seeing in my bio that is giving tradwife energy. seriously so, so, so many types of people grow food and body feed their offspring.

I’m assuming you’re not talking about all the posts where I specifically state what makes me not a tradwife, so let’s look at the rest of my content… pictures of my cabin, outfits of the day that contain lots of dresses and long skirts and aprons which people of all kinds wear on the reg, lots of ferns, some things I’ve crocheted, vintage pieces I’ve been given, some thoughts on parenting, notes about how I manage ADHD…

not following.

also fwiw:

1. I don’t really care how polite you are in saying that you’re against me having rights, lol, strange thing to add in there. being polite doesn’t suddenly make me feel like I owe you a pat on the back for having shitty views that affect people I care about.

2. don’t mistake me for someone so fragile that I cannot admit to having common ground with a conservative woman just because they’re conservative women. truly, I am not so disconnected. I obviously acknowledge that we have common interests or I wouldn’t spend nearly as much time letting people know that I’m not one of them and they can depend on me to not be a bigot.

We need more “tradwife” pages that speak on the duties and roles in a traditional relationship instead of ones that spew out pictures of an unrealistic family life. I love those pages as well, don’t get me wrong, but they don’t show much realism and make people believe the traditional community is delusional. We need more accounts that speak on the subject in itself and educate the people who need it. Traditional people want to spread the message that being traditional is ideal and beautiful but constantly showing the unrealistic expectations of this lifestyle deters average people from liking it completely. Simply because most arguments against this lifestyle are cases like domestic abuse and financial consequences but if we shown that we acknowledge these things and how to prevent them in this dynamic, people will start to understand why we cherish these family, and individual, values.

Calling other feminist homemakers! 📣

I’m tired of cottagecore, slow living, and homestead spaces being invaded by white supremacy and bigotry. I’m a housewife because it works for my family and I’m fortunate enough to make that decision. Also, I actually enjoy it. I want to follow other blogs that don’t rant about how it’s “natural” to be in the home, or that trans women aren’t women.

This blog for slow living as a CHOICE, that is done because it’s enjoyable. Not because it’s “right”. If you fit this, please like this post so I can find ppl to follow!!!

Note: my reblogs are not endorsements. I follow tags and don’t check the content of every blog I reblog from. Just because I reblogged doesn’t mean I follow them. This is probably unnecessary, but because these communities are so invaded by bigots I don’t always know the person I’m reblogging from is a bigot. Hence the point of this post.
