If they're on social media, probably.

On the whole "tradwives" are a meme as far as I'm concerned. The young rightist's sexual fantasy, no different from the young leftist's bigtiddygothgf

I don't think anyone alive today know what "trad" is and what many think is "trad" - a SAHM, dad as sole breadwinner, 2.5 kids, etc. Is an imagining of a 1950s lifestyle that was only possible when the US was at its apex. I couldn't tell you what trad is but I'd say it's more multi-generational households, cottage industry, etc. per what Mary Harrington et al. have written on the topic. Most peoples' experience before the Industrial Revolution utterly wrecked community and human interrelation

Edit: I guess the Mennonites or Amish would be the closest groups I could think of that're the closest thing to "trad" today.

Easiest way to tell if a woman is "Trad". Ask if she thinks women should vote. Ask if she's alright if the man has 100% control of the finances. Ask if she thinks women should work. Ask of she thinks women should be 100% responsible for the children, cooking and cleaning. Ask if she thinks it's okay for men to hit women who misbehave in order to put women in their place. Lastly, ask if she thinks it's okay for a woman to deny her husband sex if he wants sex.

The way she answers these questions will tell you all you need to know. Very few women are "Trad". Most women are just trying to maximize their own interests and use the label of Trad as a different niche to pursue.

Women should never be 100% responsible for the children, that's fucking retarded. That's quite literally the mentality that led us to the situation we're in. Children need fathers.

That's not what I mean. What I mean is the woman isn't telling the husband to change the diaper and watch the kid for her because she wants to go party with her girlfriends.

Obviously, the father needs to be involved in the child's life but the rearing is the woman's job, not his. A fathers job is more mentoring and teaching morals/values/skills/play. The woman does the "caring".

There's no such thing as a trad relationship in a society where no fault divorce is a thing. As long as she has the ability to divorce rape you and steal your assets the whole thing is a LARP.

It'd be a redflag if I (being in the US) ran into a le based right-wing woman tbh. Like, think about it, you run into a woman, hit it off, and oh she claims she's read Kaczynski. Oh, she totally of her own volition and somehow on her own came to the conclusion that suffrage was a mistake? Yes tell me more about clown world.

Such a woman in the US is either a basket case or a fed. She would be someone to stay as far away from as possible for your own safety.

What's that one tweet you see floating around of that dissident right winger texting his gf/wife? I can't find it since Elon put the log-in rules in but it's basically

>Her: I saw [insert political thing], should I be worried?

>Him: Don't worry about it babe.

>Her: Okay~ ❤️

That's as much of a green flag as you'll probably find.

Great insight, any IG "aesthetic" is some kind of meme or fetish for both the producer and the consumer

You say that, but that was literally my upbringing in the 90s.

I'm pretty sure the leftist equivalent would be a fat troon with hygiene issues.

Perhaps so, but there is value in advertising healthy living as well. Things will only get worse if only truly awful people advertise their lifestyle.
