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.

Trad step 1: Marry a federal agent

Trad step 2: Fed divorces you for handicapping his career

Trad step 3: Trailer park single mom

How fucking 'trad' can an Australian glowie ever be in the first place, considering the willing globalist puppet that that country's power structure has revealed itself as. Trad or not, she searched the entire world and picked an A1 cunt.

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.

Not to mention, like, going to work for 9 hours a day for the man and then coming home and demanding dinner is not trad life. Trad life would be working on your homestead 12 hours a day -- both of you and your kids.

Her whole problem is that there are shitty conservative guys just like there are shitty leftist guys (even if the per capita numbers differ significantly) and she seems to have chosen to get involved with shitty conservative guys.

Therefore, conservative guys bad. And it has nothing to do with her poor judgement.

Let's be fair. This is just her side of the story. We have no idea what went on with the guy who at least isn't publicly bitching about his ex so he's already got a leg up on emotional maturity

No disagreement here. But even if what she says is 100% truthful, her problem is still that she's a poor judge of potential partners.

Also, lots of cat ladies in the comments on that article. And holy fuck was that a lot of words in the article -- I made it only a couple pages in before I bailed.

I think a lot of it depends on when she joined this network of unhappy tradewifes group chat. Because women will actively make other women unhappy even if there's nothing to be really unhappy about

It waffles and repeats itself so hard you can just only read every third sentence and still get 90% of the story. Some of us have shit to do journo lady.

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.

Yeah, the cons are just political theater. Not surprising the beautiful people are up to their usual shit.

Women never change. What they are in their teens they will always be. Hence why patriarchy is a requirement for pygmy level civilizations and up.

I did always wonder how she got so big, so fast, at such a young age...

So maybe there's something to that.

What is "couch casting behaviour", may I ask..?

Her problem specifically is that she married a fed.

she seems to have chosen to get involved with shitty conservative guys.

Well and she also claims that trad life attracts shitty guys. Thus besmirching for no reason guys who want a trad life.

Honestly, she made a mistake that is so common that I think most married people have done it. She went from thinking "my husband is a piece of shit" to "trad men are pieces of shit."

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

– 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.

Do you have any idea how fucked up a mom has to be for the father to be awarded sole custody? Huge selection bias at work.

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

Basically your child will get plenty of female role models with female teachers etc for young kids being very common. Unfortunately if you take a dad away there aren't really any other male influences in our society.

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...

By hustle I mean keep an eye out for sales on goods they need or purchases they intend to make, save money by making stuff from ingredients instead of buying ready made, or little remote work jobs with no obligatory hours (the AI LLM answer checking stuff still pays $22+/hr for anyone with just decent written comprehension skills, until that collapses)

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.

My wife doesn’t work. I don’t want her to work. I want her to make sure I never have to deal with a single house issue.
