Getting real sick for all these tradwife influencers pushing the idea that women shouldn't work 40 hour office jobs because our cycles make us oh so delicate, so we should instead we should sign up for literally one the most demanding and draining jobs on the planet that literally never ends and robs us of all autonomy

I found this template online a few months ago. It comes in handy when you don’t know where to start. So far my house is spotless and I’m not stressing out.

I know I will be chopped at the stake for this if he were real, but Jeff has Trad Wife energy~

the anti-aging industry is disgusting. we will inevitably age, you don’t have to inject your face with botox and drink from specialized straws when you can just face reality.

aging is beautiful. God created us this way, and we should allow ourselves to feel life to its full extent instead of fearing our beauty being lessened.

when your worth is placed on character instead of outer-appearance, you will glow with happiness, and that’s what truly makes someone gorgeous forever.

Calls for a ‘return’ to a non-existent past are seductive precisely because it did not exist. In an increasingly hostile world, it is tempting to believe that things were easier before the onset of a nebulous ‘modernity’. These individuals hint that if we simply traded in social changes, such as gender equality, we would be rewarded with more acceptable material conditions. However, such ideas are born more out of a yearning for an imagined idea of the Fordist consensus and that such conditions must project backwards into the pre-modern world. Such yearnings are compounded by the fact that the history that most people are taught is rudimentary and often provides an unproblematised version of our countries’ past. These narratives help to shore up the power of our own governments and obfuscate the very real benefits that we still enjoy as a result of imperial plunder. Trad accounts, meanwhile, are encouraged by the very platforms they appear on. It is common for them to present themselves as ‘tutors’ or accounts promoting ‘classical’ art, architecture or philosophy. The unsuspecting see a picture of a lovely old church, click follow and then are slowly drip-fed pseudo-history. They are also introduced, algorithmically, to the host of other trad accounts, which will feed them the same ahistorical pablum, establishing a consensus that is blissfully free from fact and heavy on nostalgia. Even those, such as myself, who seek to argue against these falsehoods fall prey to the algorithmic churn. Engaging with bad faith actors is still engaging and it can spread the message further, allowing reactionaries to find others in their cohort. This all translates into money for the platforms, which thrive off engagement – positive or negative.

To let your man make the decisions is to live a life without stress ❤️

Let me be a woman by Elisabeth Elliot

I'm so glad for women like the one in this video finally speaking out against the trap of "sprinkle sprinkle" and "soft trad-wife life".

Women like myself have been vilified so much on social media for speaking out against the new trend of "hypergamy" that aims to glamorize patriarchal gender roles and reinforce the subordination of women under the guise of an "easy life". We are often told that we are masculine, undesirable, and overworked because we take pride in our independence, strong sense of self, and agency, and we take up space for ourselves instead of shrinking to appease others, especially men.

Those attempts at shaming us have always seemed funny to me because they highlight how misguided the girls and women who choose to buy into the idea that you can live a life of luxury and ease by depending on someone else, without realizing that the payoff for it is often times harder than what it takes to be educated, accomplished, and to make a name for yourself with your own efforts.

It doesn't matter if it comes from a chronically online leftist who hates "girl boss feminism", or a conservative who is looking to impose archaic gender roles on society. These women will sooner or later learn that being dependent on another adult is a recipe for disaster, and they will have nobody else but themselves to blame for it.

If you are reading this and are considering living a domestic life because you think it will be easier than to make your own money and attain an education, I implore you to think twice. You don't want to look back 20 years from now and regret having wasted your youth by putting yourself at the mercy of a man.
