Well that's feminine humans for you, male or female. They can't just drop it, they can't let it go, they think they're right and are entitled, spoilt children wearing adults skins. This is why men throughout history had a.. firm hand, when it came to making women behave themselves. Women can't be trusted to self regulate. Sure, plenty of men can't either, but not to the degree of how basically 90%+ of women can't do it.

Even in the firm hand case men treated men far worse. The whipping post was literally for men who beat their wives, other men would grab the guy and flagellate him in the town square in front of everyone as a humiliation ritual.

Her idea of trad life is being a Canadian and marrying an Australian and moving there. 🤡These trad LARPers are such dumbasses. They are pining for something that was never real. In "trad" times, you married people in your town. Your families knew each other and probably got together relatively frequently. You didn't move to another country to be isolated. These people are fucking retards. They don't know what they are talking about.

I get that it's hard to be trad when your existing family has disintegrated, but it's still possible. You need to pick a place and reintegrate into the community. The last thing you want to do is start shooting your mouth off about your personal political opinions. In a community, getting along is the priority, not advocating for change.

That's why you don't see any actual trad wives on social media.

I think there's also a big discrepancy between the proportion of good to bad.

I know many single guys, with incomes sufficient to support a family, from the ages of 25 - 40.

Every single woman I know either has kids, or double digit body counts. Most of them rely on government gibs and/or have zero savings or assets, financially.

Many men are prepared for marriage, while almost zero women can say the same.

You don't see actual conservatives in media.

I ran for local political office a few years ago and one of the things I was advised to do was to get makeup for TV appearances.

I'm a man, I don't wear makeup, subsequently I didn't win.

I don't think there's been a real conservative face since Nixon debated Kennedy. Who's the most exemplified conservative in the US? Ronald Reagan, a Hollywood actor.

None of these "online conservatives" are legit, they just made money exploiting the zeitgeist.

I mean there's a reason kids of single moms almost always turn out worthless. It's a job that truly can't be done right by one person, even absent all other responsibilities.

If your trad playbook is husband just earns all the money and wife just does all the kid stuff, you're gonna have shitty kids and a resentful relationship.

If the husband helps play with and look after the kids, and the wife learns to look after money properly and hustles a little in her free time whilst the husband helps with kids, you're going to get better results.

Then why do single dads have better outcomes than single moms generally?

permalink parent save report block reply
▲ 17 ▼
– BandageBandolier 17 points 2 years ago +17 / -0

Because single dads are

One - obviously all committed to their children's wellbeing, since you typically have to actively fight for them to become a single dad, instead of defaulting into single motherhood

Two - not afflicted with retarded girlbossitis, and go out of their way to find someone to help raise their kids instead of throwing them in shitty daycare to chase his dreams. Even if it's help from family instead of romamtic partners it's better than nothing.

And three - just because it's an impossible job alone, doesn't mean your average man can't still do a better partial success than average women.

And bear in mind it's only better, lots of kids of single dads are still way more fucked up than ones from complete families.

Just cause the mom is fucked up doesnt mean the dad isnt as well? Also wouldnt that imply the moms who had custody were actually the better single mom that were available yet they still had huge disparities in outcome compared to single dads and 2 parents

– ernsithe 3 points 2 years ago +3 / -0

Just cause the mom is fucked up doesnt mean the dad isnt as well?

I think you're missing my point. That's not what I'm saying. I'm going to make up some numbers so you can see what I'm getting at. Assume that good/bad parenting has a normal distribution in both sexes. Half good, half bad. If a father has to be 25% better than the mother to get custody, it means the bottom 25% of fathers never get custody (a 0.0001% mother would be picked over a 24.999% father). So you're comparing the averages of 0-100 quality for women and 25-100 quality for men.

Yes there are cases where both parents are lousy, but if they were equally lousy, the court would have given custody to the mother anyway. Meaning, on average, single fathers are going to be better parents than single mothers. Even if men and women had the exact same distribution of parenting ability.

– evilplushie [S] 2 points 2 years ago +2 / -0

I mean assuming it's a normal distribution in both sexes would already be a huge assumption because the numbers don't really bare that out If that was true,

I think you're a bit too focused on the numerical idea that 0-25 quality mothers are to blame for their horrible stats but I think it's trying too hard to put a quantitative quality number on an abstract like parenthood.

I agree that the husband should at least spend some time with the kids/help out a little, but I completely disagree that the wife should work. At all.

In an ideal trad situation, the wife should be at home, looking after the kids and everything else there. Not working. As was literally the norm until relatively recently...

Not saying it is necessarily feasible to do that, in our current society, in most Western countries, but that is the ideal that should be pursued where/as much as possible, IMHO...

Any time spent working is time not spent looking after the house. In reasonable human society, none of the women would work and they would help each other raise kids and manage households, cooking and doing light house repair etc.

Yeah, there should be zero requirement for a stay at home Mom to earn any money. The bread winner should be making sure she has the money to buy what she needs, and a little bit of spending money just for her.

That said, she should be able to manage family savings and even some investing. But her focus should be on saving money, not earning it.

Being a woman comes first, their political stances and principles come after that. The urge to victimize themselves will always win out over any "trad" principles that are very much against that.

Single moms grouped together tend to be the worst as they reinforce their negative tendencies trying to claim NOTHING was their fault and it's the world's fault.

Better they hang out with married moms or at least single dads just so they aren't trapped in a bubble and at least single dads means there's a chance to make a new family out of that.

She self destructed hard around the time she fell from glory (plus she was always a thot). Out of nowhere lost a ton of weight and looked stretched out. If memory serves she was bouncing from a bunch of different dicks. Can't remember the specifics but the closest thing she had to an actual relationship blew up badly back then.

Edit: I vaguely recall something about her homosexual producers stealing the money for her funding or whatever. A bunch of stupid drama back when she disappeared.

Our stories are symmetrical in some respects: both of us embraced radical politics in our early twenties, me on the Left and Southern on the Right. Both of us embraced ideologies that felt inspiring in the free-floating world of the internet. And both of us, albeit in different ways, have course-corrected back toward reality in part via the fiercely practical experience of caring for a child.

False equivalency. While the progressives were spinning out of control, completely unhinged. Conservatives were simply trying to reassert some common sense after the progressive lunacy started seeping into mainstream culture and had been the prevailing norm amongst the establishment for several decades.

Also, clearly Lauren Southern spectacularly failed in her marriage. She comes across as a complete numpty. (As does the writer of this bad article.)

She thought, she told me, that “as long as I put on the high heels and the lipstick when my husband comes home, as long as I cook the best meal, as long as I’m always submissive, and say yes, sir, whatever you want, things will go fantastic.” And if it’s not fantastic? The listicle version of traditionalism would just say she should make more effort. It was, she says, “an embarrassing wake up call, finding myself consistently applying these rules and instructions I found on Twitter, and then never getting the results they were supposed to get, in the real realm of relationships”.

In turn, both Southern and other women I spoke to within her wider “underground railroad” of ex-trad women think that, perhaps like its Left-wing analogue, the extremely online nature of this gender ideology attracts a higher than usual proportion of individuals with existing psychological issues.

You don't say.

Southern is careful to emphasise that she knows many traditionalists in happy, loving, complementary marriages. But, she says, it’s a fallen world, and her community includes many women whose husbands seem to have been drawn to listicle-style gender ideology precisely because of the power it offers over women. “Those guys want someone they feel they can definitely control, who’s never going to leave them, who they can do anything to.”

When the fantasy world meets the real world.

When she first announced her marriage, she says, she’d been lauded by friends and fans; then, when she announced the separation she was inundated with messages lamenting how her life was ruined. But in both cases the exact opposite was true: “Post-divorce, after becoming a single mother, my mental health started to improve. I started to repair all these really important friendships. And I’m living a much happier, much healthier life than I was before….Some of the most miserable people I’ve met – in fact, absolutely the most miserable people I’ve met – have been stuck in this weird, larpy trad dynamic.” The happiest people she knows, on the other hand, “are just living in reality”.

But even that cabin-in-the-woods episode sounded like a big LARP-attempt of her to guilt-trip him into coming to rescue her or to set-up her 'personal narrative' that she was going to use to return to the limelight. And lol@the ant infested cabin. We all know it was just a couple of ants that trailed through a window or something. It happens to even the best kept homes.

Southern thinks the internet’s baked-in incentives encourage this drift toward ever more caricatured viral politics. For example, she tells me that where earlier generations of “red-pill” content merely focused on exploiting women sexually, it “has become just teaching men to hate women” – simply because this is a simpler, cheaper, and more viral message and therefore easier to sell.

Or it's just a normal reaction of average day people to the batshit insanity of fourth wave feminists -- arguably a group of the most loathsome creatures on the internet guilty of the most contemptible behavior imaginable.

A pessimist might say the future looks bleak for interpersonal relationships, indeed for our public life tout court. But I think Southern’s story offers cause for optimism. It suggests that maybe, just maybe, our current crop of internet-generated political derangements will turn out to be a temporary symptom, driven by generations who grew up without the internet and hence without much psychological defence against its many pathologies.

Or just maybe these political derangements will keep on going due to government involvement (radical feminism is a state-held belief) and Big Tech sponsorship and manipulation.

And she keeps framing her:

Even the erstwhile queen bee of the extremely online radical Right is now a convert to “living in reality”.

Creepy writer.

Am I really supposed to believe that this woman who fucked every guy in the right wing with an ounce of clout was ever “trad”?

Between her and Dave Rubin's TMZ knockoff, it's tough to remain subscribed for Matt Christiansen's stuff.

I feel bad for Matt.

He tried to branch out a bit but his views seem stagnant with the brand.

Matt's fine, same as he's ever been, but I'm not thrilled about the rest of the outfit he's hitched his wagon to.

"Tingles" is standard red pill terminology.

It's not even Rollo's stuff, to be fair. "Tingles" and many other now common redpill terms go back to when the center of the "manosphere" could be found on the NNTP group "alt.seduction" and other similar NNTP servers. Even before the advent of the "Eternal September" that brings us to the current day...

Yeah, I am that old and found reading the stuff posted fascinating. There was a lot of overlap with talk about evolutionary psychology at the time.
