Hi everyone I hope you're all well so tread wives are back in Vogue in the culture war
and I for one could not be more thrilled why you ask well one Trad wives are awesome and
two the wokies are freaking out about it especially in the media over the last few weeks heads
lines such as save us from the spectacularly silly hashtag Trail life trend wives promote
a lifestyle that evokes the 1950s but their Nostalgia is not without controversy and tick
tock's viral Trad wife Trend accused of romanticizing an era where sexism and racism ruled have
been popping up with all The Usual Suspects hopping mad that women could somehow find
happiness and fulfillment through Avenues other than being a perpetually angry insecure
work-obsessed capitalist-hating man is stewing Progressive feminists anyway tried wives last
made a big splash around the start of 2020 when British Trad wife Elena Kate petite who
runs a destination website and Community for those interested in traditional living called
the darling Academy made a Big Splash in the British media this as well as other outlets
focusing on the American Trad wife Trend made the term fairly mainstream for a while then
covert hit of course and the media forgot about everything in favor of boot licking
for their various authoritarian government bodies but that is in fact another story anyway
in 2022 the Trad wife Trend started gaining a bit of steam again aided interestingly Enough
by Tick Tock as a new generation Generation Z aka the Zoomers started to adopt the aesthetic
and lifestyle fast forward to 2023 and hashtag tradwife has been viewed over 129 million
times on Tick Tock as women in their 20s post about their lives as or aspirations to be
tread wipes but before I go any further I should really explain what a Trad wife is
a trade wife short for traditional wife is a woman who embodies the traditional female
gender role of the Homemaker and Nutra if she has children while her husband embodies
the traditional male role of being the hunter-gatherer that is the wife does not have a paying job
outside of the home and instead it dedicates her time to running the household while her
husband cares for her by taking on the breadwinning duty so that she can create a beautiful comfortable
home for them both now while this might sound like your typical stay-at-home wife mother
Arrangement Trad wiffery embodies a particular 1950s aesthetic so rather than leggings and
activewear to cook and clean in tread wives do their hair and makeup each morning and
put on pretty vintage style dresses which makes them feel good and also appeals to their
husbands upon their return home from a long day of work also treadwifery often has a Christian
element attached to it which is what feminists seem to have the most trouble with namely
the idea that wives should submit to their husbands the other two big problems that feminists
seem to have with Trad wives is the perception that these tread wives are somehow insisting
that all women should live like them in order to be proper women and also that apparently
Trad wives are actually connected to the far right and white supremacists and are therefore
just a gateway to recruit young women into the far right you know the whole everything
I don't like is racist thing that the left loves to do whenever they don't like something
and can't be bothered to explain why or to even have any kind of rational debate about
the issue now the piece of media that I feel explains these three gripes is a video from
Navara media an Uber Progressive UK based media outlet and the video is presented by
journalists and activist Ash sakar now before I show you this video you should know that
Ash sakhar is in fact a communist which to her Eternal shame she has publicly admitted
because I'm literally a communist now whether somebody who ascribes to an ideology that
not only killed about a hundred million people in the 20th century but has failed literally
every time it has been tried should be taken seriously I don't know either way she's made
this video about Trad wives so let's watch but the Trad wife Trend isn't just a way to
talk about the experience of being a woman and doing domestic labor it's saying that
being a woman or expressing your femininity most fully means doing all the domestic labor
men and women are meant to have rigidly distinct roles in the home in their relationships and
crucially in economic activity so this isn't just about personal choice or individual preferences
it's advancing a right-wing political ideology and dressing it up as a lifestyle so why is
this important three things these women are often really young in their 20s and they're
preaching the values of submitting to a husband to an audience of other young women the Trad
wife Trend doesn't exist in isolation it's linked to deeply regressive political and
social movements such as Christian and white nationalism and anti-feminism feminism is
an ideology which cannot be defended by feminists it's part of a wider shift of young people
being dissatisfied with neoliberalism and wanting social change okay as the left likes
to say let's unpack this first Ash says the Trad wives believe fully exercising your femininity
is doing all the domestic labor and that they're advancing a far right-wing political ideology
this insinuates that Trad wives are trying to effectively recruit more Trad wives and
force their lifestyle on all women now aspired from The Staggering hypocrisy of this statement
given the fact left-wing feminists have been foisting their lifestyle and ideology onto
other women for you know decades now and are then horribly abusing women who say no thanks
I actually don't agree with you that's simply not what Trad wives are all about let's hear
from SD Williams on the subject if you are not familiar with the term Trad wife it is
a woman who chooses to live a more traditional life with ultra traditional gender roles so
the man goes outside the house Works provides for the family the woman stays home and she's
the Homemaker she takes care of the home and the children if there are any the misconception
about the Trad wife movement um it's not really a movement nobody's pushing it people are
typically just living it and maybe showcasing their lifestyle like me and we believe our
place specifically us as individuals believe our purpose is to be Homemakers it doesn't
mean that we are trying to take away what woman fought for there are a lot of people
trying to make this a Sinister thing or put some other darker meaning behind the term
Trad wife nobody is doing that no Trad wife tick-tockers are saying Every Woman's Place
is in their home we as individuals are just choosing to be homemakers that's all the current
tread wife Queen ladies and gentlemen and isn't she fabulous the second hang up about
Trad wives at leftists like Ash and others have is the context is the concept of them
submitting to their husbands critics seem to have it in their heads that by submitting
these women are subjugating themselves this is consistent with the fact that despite their
efforts to disguise it feminists from my observation generally conflate cleaning and taking care
of kids with subservience gosh it's good to know what feminists must think of cleaners
and child care workers am I right anyway what the left is missing here is what submitting
means in the Trad wife context instead of submitting as in subjugating yourself it's
based on the concept of Christian complementarianism that is the wife submit to the husband by
taking care of the household and he in turn serves and submits to her by working and thus
providing for the household let's let Alana Kate petite explain it though a traditional
housewife May submit to her husband she is not considered of lesser importance to him
or allows herself to be in a position that threatens her rights a traditional Woman's
Place is not under a man's feet but under his wing by his side a traditional housewife
chooses her husband based on his ability to care for people provide for their children
and most importantly upon his integrity and values good wholesome values in this she is
smart in choosing a mate she can trust and give over or submit certain responsibilities
to him in order for them to have a clear division of emotional Administration and physical labor
in the home in short Trad wives are equal and different to their husbands it's very
simple now the third hang up the left has about Trad wives is that apparently they're
somehow advancing a white supremacist political agenda this is despite the fact that black
Trad wives by the way are very much a thing but anyway from what I can gather this notion
goes back to a 2018 New York Times article which uses a couple of very Niche examples
of so-called Trad wives who have some sort of link to the alt-right now first I wouldn't
actually call those women Trad wives since they are activists actually trying to advance
an ideology as Este said being a Trad wife is an individual lifestyle choice that doesn't
doesn't insist others do the same it's not a movement or anything Sinister just because
a couple of crackpots made some waves a few years ago it doesn't mean that all treadwifery
is somehow a gateway to the far right second as I mentioned earlier this is just another
example of leftist it's calling everything they don't like racist it is just another
way of delegitimizing women who don't buy into modern feminism oh they've all been influenced
so there's big bad white men into being good little Housewives it's an incredibly sexist
notion but hey that's the left for you they are not known for their consistency anyway
Elena has a note on that too a Trad wife is not racist she is inclusive as much as she
believes in the natural order to gender so she believes in the natural and Rich tapestry
of Life which brings with it a variety of races cultures and beliefs people matter to
her and she does not think herself Superior to anyone regardless of their title gender
or skin color she sees the person not the package she is categorically not a white supremacist
open your eyes and you'll see proud traditional Housewives of color from all over the world
remember also that the leftists including and especially really Highly Educated ones
tend to think anything even vaguely conservative is far right white nationalist Etc they're
barometer for extremism really isn't that accurate as for the final hang up that Ash
and other leftists seem to have that is insisting that Trad wiffery is simply another gen Zed
reaction to so-called neoliberalism which is really just a leftist word for capitalism
they use to try to make themselves sound smarter like honestly I challenge Ash sakar and anyone
who uses the word neoliberalism unironically to Define it without simply defining free
market capitalism seriously anyway sorry but these traditionalist values have actually
been around for a very long time including in the 2000s there have always been Trad wives
in their 20s it's just now they're getting more publicity thanks to mass communication
if tredwifery is a reaction to anything it's a reaction to fourth wave feminism not capitalism
however speaking of Generation Z trends that are apparently a reaction to capitalism and
to the modern world the latest media reaction to Trad wives got me thinking about another
gen Zed Trend that explicitly defines itself as a rebellion of sorts against girl boss
corporate ladder climbing feminism that is of course bimboism or the modern bimbo a movement
that gained traction on Tick Tock and then in the media last year now you'd be forgiven
for thinking that perhaps bimbos are antithetical to feminism I mean after all a bimbo is a
term used pejoratively to describe a woman who is attractive usually blonde and dumb
second wave and indeed third wave feminist despised the bimbo because they saw her as
catering to the male gaze in order to gain male attention and approval but apparently
in the grand left-wing tradition of reclaiming words they don't like the bimbo archetype
has been reclaimed by gen Zed feminists who taught this new ideology bimboism that is
a person doesn't have to be a woman can be any gender as they would put it who is hyper
feminine and hypersexualized in their dress and demeanor believes in radical left-wing
causes and rejects society's notion of what intelligence apparently is there are pro-plastic
surgery pro body modifications and pro-materialism but also somehow anti-capitalism most pointedly
they Embrace a dumbness as a tool to manipulate people usually men into caring for them in
a non-recipical way they are also anti-work as a means to make a political statement about
girl boss feminism and the modern economy this is the very opposite of what Trad wives
do they believe in reciprocal romantic relationships between men and women where each partner's
labor complements the others anyway I'll let bimbo Tick Tock Queen Chrissy schlepeka explain
modern bimboism properly who is a bimbo what is a bimbo these are multiple questions that
I've been getting they're Millennials who is the Gen Z bimbo a bimbo isn't dumb I mean
she kind of is but she isn't that dumb she's actually a radical leftist whose Pro sex work
pro black lives matter Pro lgbtq pro-choice and will always be there for her girls gaze
and mace if you're homophobic I'll castrate you listen this is an inclusive organization
there's bimbos dumbos I don't do this for the misogynistic male games I do it for my
games and damn my tits look good it's about emotional intelligence at the end of the day
and remember we always step on Trump supporters hi is that a trump supporter ew you get the
picture what struck me about the most recent leftist media fuhrer about Trad wives was
the completely contrasting reaction they had when bimbos broke the cultural mold last year
they had article after article of positive gushing about how feminist and pro-sex and
awesome bimbos were I mean it was quite astounding in fact and just to get really specific let's
compare the pair I give you BuzzFeed this woman went viral for creating a bimbo Manifesto
and honestly it's a work of art are some of these traditional wave tick tocks trolling
us I give you Vice mimification is taking over what does that mean for you are you a
hyper feminine woman are you really hot do you not care about society's elitist view
on academic intelligence behind the rise of the online Trad wife movement tradology doesn't
just extend to 1950s housewife videos it also has Sinister connections with right-wing extremism
experts say and last but certainly not least the New York Times meet the self-described
bimbos of tick tock The Real Housewives of white supremacy and that juxtaposition got
me thinking could it be really that the modern cultural and media left would prefer Generation
Z women to grind in front of their camera phones half naked while talking about how
dumb and hot they are while also sloppily espousing anti-work anti-reciprosity word
vomit while calling it female empowerment then for them to be traditional housewives
with the left really prefer them to do this happy holidays from your favorite bimbo remember
keep being a family disappointment and stay warm seriously guys it's a little cold out
here then this number one proper budgeting I think this is so important living on one
income because most of us traditional wives are not living like the Housewives of Beverly
Hills or anything nor would I want to I quite enjoy this more simplistic way of living and
learning to budget is a proper life skill to learn I think we all know what the answer
is and that answer is unironically yes I'm just waiting for the asteroid right now aren't
