Meet the trad wives: the anti-feminist traditional influencers
Have you heard of trad wives? Content posted by women in flowery dresses from lavish country kitchens may look innocent enough, but beneath this they are in fact calling for a return to 1950s style gender norms.
I assume the trad wives thing is just women with affluent husbands who realized they can flex on other women that they don't have to work.
A true trad wife should be cooking nearly from scratch, should be doing many chores, taking care of the chickens, and probably doing things like canning food. There are some like that, and they are great.
I bet that isn't most of these people.
If you know they exist, they aren't a "true" trad wife. Because your knowledge of them is probably from seeing them post on social media about all the things they do, which means they are still addicted to dopamine and asspats about how special and unique they are like any other woman.
Relatives, and a couple gals from my church that moved to places like Idaho.
Alright fair enough.
Minus the chickens that's my wife. Pastries from scratch, pickled vegetables, you name it.
Sure there are plenty of grifters. There's plenty of them everywhere else too, moreso id argue. But genuine traditionalist people certainly exist, and there's plenty of us. Nevermind that the mere fact that this is even a trend at all speaks to a huge movement of the Overton window.
Probably lazy wine sipping white women who frequent country clubs and are only asked to bear children and nothing more
Meanwhile, in the Bible, men are warned to stay away from women who have not truly repented of their past, and to not congregate with young widows. But Churchians aren't really Christian.
Simps are a true evil on society. The let so much diabolical unaccountiblity get by. Source: Previous simp-like behavior from myself. I'm ashamed.
Yup. They're divorce rapists and the only reason the danger hairs are mad is because they're running a more effective grift.
There's nothing tradcucks love more than grifting whores. This makes Matt Walsh's micropeen hard, especially the part about wifing up an OnlyThots whore the whole internet saw naked.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I missed the whole "manly duty to wife up a repentant OF whore" thing
Yep. For 90% of men, if a sexy enough woman come by, we are susceptible to any suggestions. We know it and they know it.
It doesn't matter how based she pretends to be. As long as the laws and the family courts are arrayed as they currently are, if you marry or even cohabitate with a woman for any length of time, you are risking your future, your reputation, your financial security, your property and the prospect of not being able to raise your own children.
Serious question, why not just join an Amish community at that point? They have social systems in place to sort this all out and you will do everything from scratch.
I feel like the people complaining aren't willing to make the sacrifices to get what they say they want.
Personally I don't want to go back to 100% trad roles, as I really enjoy cooking and it's one of my only real artistic outlets. I think as long as chore duties are clearly defined it doesn't matter.
Nope.
Cringed too hard at the title.
I refuse.
She's only 24 (as it states in the article). But yes. Actually was a member of "Identité Génération", though, so it's not like she's a complete hypocrite, you might argue...
are the calling for womens' rights to be taken away? are they calling for outlaw of divorce, women voting, women in the workplace? No, they are not. They are not 'trad wives' they are larpers who have realized men do not marry arrogant, dominate, masculine-play-acting women. they want to be taken care of they want a man's resources. they do not want to submit to a man or be supportive or genuinely pleasant. they want the power in relationships and in society and they've hit on a new ploy to get what they want.
This. Until there is unilateral upheaval of misandrist laws, being a "trad wife" has zero value in Western society.
Men who know need to stay steadfast.
correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought feminism was all about empowering women to make their own choices. how is someone promoting a traditional lifestyle anti-feminist then?
(sarcastic rhetorical question. feminism has always been about power)
The same way it was simultaneously racist to both want to send freed slaves back to Africa and to want to keep them here.
"Tradewives" are the most modern example of women's brainpower on full display. They can't understand things with depth, only the trappings of it.
They can't wrap their mind around the entire "trad" package involving minimizing hedonism, self sufficiency and nuclear family roles. So they just buy a floral pattern dress and take pictures of themselves baking.
Because its just an outfit they wear, it has no meaning to it. Like all of their ideologies and politics, it can be taken out of the closet when they think its beneficial.
The problem is no matter how much the traditionalists yearn to be back in those times, it's too late.
Technology has made a person who stays to take care of the home redundant unless you live in a mansion and the cultural shift thanks to the left makes the traditional reason of raising a big family less relevant.
It's just a new grift and that's it.
The few that CAN do this will be the rare exceptions, but on the whole, too many things both culturally, legally and technologically mean this role is the same as having an onlythot live with you, just hopefully with a much lower body count.
My cousin gets up early and works four 12-hour days, is gone for like 15 hours because of the drive. While gone, his wife takes care of all the animals (feed them, get eggs, milk goats), cooks for the homeschooled kids, helps teach the kids, cleans the house, sometimes will patch a fence or whatever, maybe take the kids to Jujitsu practice, and then makes sure my cousin has a good meal when he finally gets home.
All that to say that I agree with you: my cousin and his family are a very rare situation. Not many people are in the sticks on a lot of land with animals and young children. Dude doesn't go on vacation with the whole family, him or the wife always stays behind to watch the animals because, in his words, "do you know how hard it is to find someone to milk the goats if we are gone?"
It turns out that as a man's income increases to ~$300k+/yr, his height increases to 6'+ and his jawline increases to Giga Chad+ then women turn into house wives.
There's absolutely nothing new going on here at all. There's no new movement. There's no cultural shift. We're just seeing some rebranding of certain relationship dynamics that have always existed.
Men don't care that if they were super hot and wealthy, some girls might take on traditional gender roles for them. Men don't care because most men aren't super hot and wealthy. It's average men with average looks and average incomes that want traditional gender roles and not enough women are coming to the table with that. Even the supposedly based homesteading girls you see in White Nationalist groups oftentimes married some dude who inherited a farm or the money to buy one. Most guys aren't that.
The problem too with modern tradgirls is that all the girls want all the perks that come with traditionalism but with none of the duties toward the man that existed in traditional times. It ends up being a really bad deal for a lot of guys. Ask these trad girls how many of them are virgins saving their virginity for marriage... lol. "Trad". Sure.

"Bring your checkbook and don't ask about high school, and the back of the church pew. Oh feminism bad. tee-hee."
They put themselves in the kitchen when any talk of a draft or anything that involves women earning all those perks of society men never got for free.
If a woman was truly trad she wouldn't be attention whoring on social media. Most of these women were probably more degenerate and leftist in their prime than even regular NPC thots, but are smart enough to put on a mask so some rich guy will marry them.
I'd settle for a tardwife at this point.
If they're posting stuff on instagram, youtube or tiktok they're not "Trad" anything.
These are just a new brand of grifting 304s.
