“ A tradwife (a neologism for traditional wife or traditional housewife) in recent Western culture, typically denotes a woman who believes in and practices traditional sex roles and marriages. Many tradwives believe that they do not sacrifice women's rights by choosing to take a homemaking role within their marriage. Some may choose to leave careers to focus instead on meeting their family's needs in the home. The traditional housewife aesthetic has since spread throughout the Internet in part through social media featuring women extolling the virtues of behaving as the ideal woman.”

At the extreme margins, that’s white supremacy

If that’s not the pot calling the kettle black…There are few things that scream lily white and supremacist more than Contestant #1…

After leaving university, Emma Beddington practised as a lawyer. Today she is a freelance writer, who has contributed to ELLE, Red, The Times, the Sunday Times, the Guardian, Condé Nast Traveller and O Magazine. She is also the author of the acclaimed blog Belgian Waffle. She lives in Brussels with her husband and two sons.

They have no solution to the problem that young people feel miserable and that everything is worse than it was in the past other than to tell people, “actually no one was ever happy until the present.”

“Some may choose to leave careers to focus instead on meeting their family’s needs in the home.”

That would require humility.

I wonder if it would help Humanity in the western world get itself out of this eddy of virtue-less spiritual, cultural, self destructive depression…

Nah.

--- " white supremacy"

Malarkey from this liberal. She has a history, the article doesn't mention:

"Being bald has its upsides. I am one of the few who has not suffered from a year without access (mainly) to hairdressers. My wig – professionally cut about 18 months ago – has protected me from the wonky fringes and clipper crimes perpetrated in my house, or from ending up looking like an overgrown escaped sheep. The rest of me may be a natural disaster, but my hair (well, someone else’s hair) is holding it together.

"So would I reverse 26 years of leaving plugholes unmolested if I could? Yes, absolutely. I still wake up sad, sometimes, having dreamed my hair grew back, passing my hand over my head in the hope of feeling patches of silky baby hair, or stubble. I want the chance to cry at a bad haircut or unwise dye job; I would love to know if I have gone grey."

After 26 years of baldness, I still miss my hair. But I have new hopes of a cure By Emaa Beddington, Guardian UK, 6 April 2021

She blamed her baldness on stress, or as she wrote, "an exceptionally savage period of stress". Now maybe it's "white supremacy" stress.

26 years ago from 2021 brings us back to 1995. What was up in Britain then to cause her such "savage" stress. Doesn't say. But one finds from her as well:

"My husband has seen me at my worst – blind drunk, going bald, losing my mind and leaking bodily fluids (not all at once). He tolerates my least attractive qualities – cold, uncommunicative, recycling-obsessed – daily. I’ve watched him fill our home with technology I can’t operate and listened to thousands of his shouted work calls on speakerphone. We sometimes operate like a single organism: several times a week one of us says out loud exactly what the other was thinking; I sense tiny shifts in his mood in the way animals sense changes in barometric pressure. At other times we feel incomprehensible to each other." I still love my husband after 30 years. But I have no idea how we’ve stayed together Guardian UK, 11 February 2024

prepare to hear that “God designed two genders for different purposes”

He didn't make two genders. He made two sexes. "Gender" is a language construct, handy for the French and Latin languages. When used as a substitute sex in a human person, is either a jocularity or a blunder (Fowler, Modern English Language Usage)

Sounds like what AI would write in response to:

Write gibberish using woke catchphrases to complain about a wholesome lifestyle led by others.

It is an amazing life and we have a wonderful, loving, respectful marriage.

I read this, and my first thought was "What the heck is tradwife?" Then I read further, and got it: "Traditional Wife".

Then I read further, and found that it means "white supremacy; enthusiastically repopulating the world with blond babies; enthusiasm for organic farming, fermentation or home schooling; anti-vaxxing, decrying contraception".

I saw that she intentionally put "decrying woke liberal modernity" at the end.

Well, both "wokeness" and "liberal modernity" are fully deserving of ridicule and rejection by a person of any sex.

Normally, I can sniff out a Leftist article, often in the first sentence, if not the first few words of that first sentence. In the excerpt it was:

"...…But I’m fascinated by tradwife life, why it appeals and what it’s selling. It’s less the campy, colour-saturated, submissive 50s-housewife cosplay...

While my radar went up in that first sentence by the use of the unfamiliar term "tradwife", I wanted to be open-minded. But by the second sentence the "campy, color-saturated, submissive..." made me decide to look no further.

I doubt that this jackass Leftist ever lived in that time frame, and if she did, she sure as Hell didn't know my mom and millions like her, that were neither campy, color-saturated, nor submissive.

“She lives in Brussels with her husband and two sons.”

Did she make her ‘husband’ change his name, like Nikki Haley did?

Articles like this (in The Guardian) would be fun to read for a condescending chuckle if there weren’t so many cosmopolitan types actually swallowing this stuff hook, line, and sinker.

I figured out early in my career that I could easily be replaced at my job.

But if my family lost me ... widowed husband, motherless children, parents who outlived a daughter ... that would be an epic loss.

So that’s what I tried to focus on. And when Hubs and I were farming together I helped all that I could but there were some jobs on the farm I just couldn’t do because I wasn’t another guy. I took care of the kids, the house, the yard, the garden, somewhat the cars, and kept farm finances because he was getting up at 4 AM consistently and working 6 days a week.

It sounds like a “trad wife” gig but it was simply reality.

The Law of Sowing and Reaping:

The “Tradwife” = Real Wife. No STD. No multiple DNA crud-ruin contamination.

Rammed, ruined, abused..
John Chapter 4. “...you have had many, and the husband you now have is not your own”

And that guilt shame is transferred into the overt visible eventually.
...”and when Joseph realized she was with child, being a righteous man, be contemplated, not to disgrace her publicly. (Of course the Angel then intervened.)

The rabid fury overturning womb killing occurred, because SHAME, is exposed. The same shame, that martyred Stephen to be stoned to death

Only colleges can produce such stupidity.

Where is her diatribe against every other “race” and culture where women stay home? Her head would explode knowing Malaysia has a “good wives” club that teaches young women how to take care of their husbands and family.
