#anti tradwife

[geminni5]

Found this on pinterest had to put it here

Tradwives need to realize the seriousness of the shit they are getting themselves into.

The society isn't all that kind to women.

The dumb, mildly fetishist "traditional wife" blogs like making posts about husbands choosing their clothes.

Throughout much of human history, WOMEN chose their husband's clothes, not the other way around.

Why? Usually, the women had made the clothes right down to weaving and colouring the fabric. Men wore the clothes their wives and mothers made for them, sewed for then, or even bought for them. They did that, and made damn sure to be happy about it, or they wore nothing at all.

That's why matching family sets of traditional folk costumes are a thing.

Never forget; he's not a ~trad husband ~, he's a loser that thinks the fucking stepford wives is a viable 21st century economic model and an accurate portrayal of history.

TERFS: “men can never be sexually assaulted. they’re inherently evil (bc i said so) and therefore always the perpetrator (also bc i said so).”

those same TERFs when a straight transfem or a gay transmasc exists: “OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS!!! we NEED to protect the POOR INNOCENT MEN from these EVIL PREDATORS IMMEDIATELY!!!!! it’s ASSAULT!!! YOU’RE SEXUALLY ASSAULTING MEN BY EXISTING!!!!! KYS!!!”

Tradfems have the opinions they do because they are traumatized. Their backwards thinking is not their fault, it's a dysfunctional system that was probably introduced to them during childhood. The things they say can be harmful to impressionable people, so I want to warn all minors to stay off of the tradfem and anti feminism tags. As for the tradfems themselves, please consider that your point of view may be wrong--you are not inferior, and you are more than a housewife. You may think there's all the joy you need in that, but I promise it's not going to work out. Even if you do decide to continue thinking this way, please do not pass it on to the future generations and traumatize them just like you were. To everyone, a very good day and a non-hostile warning.

(Not to be confused with kinks involving this kind of thing--I'm talking about genuinely believing it)

Imagine how privileged and heartless and cowardly you have to be to be able to choose not to work, and choose to eat out of charities and food banks because you want to uphold the tradwife lifestyle, and not work because "the workplace is so miserable!".

People who actually need that charity are not getting it because YOU are taking up spaces you SHOULDN'T TAKE UP. You're poor but able to work and CAN find a job? THEN DO SO?! I'm poor and disabled, and I got the privilege of working from home, BUT I'M DISABLED. I want to work outside, being inside my home almost all the time gets really bad sometimes, I love taking care of my home, but I want to meet new people, create connections outside of friendships, a simple desk job would be such a blessing to me!

Yes, the workplace is miserable, but if you're using charities and still REFUSE to go into the workforce AND HAVE A BABY?! I have no sympathy for you...

can you imagine how annoying tradwifes would be in the omegaverse?

[lizzie-queenofmeigas]

Tradwives are a rich people thing. My grandmother had four of her five children during a dictatorship that reduced women's rights a lot even for that time and she still had to do a lot of work.

I can tell you she did not work that hard while raising five kids and taking care of the house for a bunch of rich brats to shit on feminism because they like the tradwife aesthetic.

That tradwife larp is such fake bullshit. My Norwegian grandmothers and great-grandmothers worked their body to the bone all their lives. But I guess reaping, milking, birthing, weaving and washing everything by hand in the cold Scandinavian winter while sick does not really fit the tradwife aesthetic, does it?

People forget that huge parts of Europe were starving and living squalor in the 1800s, why else did so many flee to America to get a better life? And when they arrived in America after a long and tiresome journey across the sea, they had to build their whole lives from scratch. Imagine arriving at a completely empty plot of land, having to build the farm from the ground up, without modern convenicence that we have today! These twitter tradvives wouldn´t last 5 minutes working outside in the fields, pushing out 7+ children while hungry and cold.

True! These "tradwives" will never get the "working yourself to the bone from birth to death"™ traditional experience!

the good things about having a paganism and naturecore aesthetics sideblog:

i have a paganism and naturecore aesthetics sideblog

the bad things about having a paganism and naturecore aesthetics sideblog

having to avoid all the white supremacists in paganism

making sure to not reblog cottagecore things

being recommended tradwife content for some reason. you reblog a picture of a tree and suddenly all these anti-feminism housewives descend upon your dash

Choosing to be a tr4dwife is just stupid. No adult of even average intelligence would rely on another person, let alone a MALE, for their entire income. He can just stop giving you money if he wants. Piss him off? No money for you. Not in the mood? No money for you. And he can also use the fact that he is the financially dominant individual in every decision, argument and conversation. It’s just a bad and dumb idea.

What do you trust more; the protection and power of money, resources and the law or dick and pinky promises? It’s all up to you really.

[apostateoverrubies]

There was only one relative in my family who was a housewife. That was my great grandmother. But even she told my grandmother from the moment she was young that she shouldn't rely on a man.

And apart from her, most of the women had to work to support their families. We are/were all women of color living in a third-world country. The tradwife lifestyle wasn't made for women like us.

And as someone who wants to be a mother, I am going to make sure I can care for myself first and if I do end up with a man, he has to give a shit about children as much as I do.

While there is a lot to be said about how the tradwife movement hurts women, we should also open up a conversation about how it hurts children as well.

Even beyond the father being a shitty parent, I know for a fact that these mothers are gonna hurt their children as well.

From enforcing traditional gender roles to queerphobia, they're gonna hurt their kids because they value their lifestyle above all else.

"Women smiled more in pictures in the fifties as housewives"

Yeah! It was the legal prescription for meth to deal with the lack of marital rape laws!

the rise of tradwife content among young people is really disturbing to me. obviously, domestic work is valuable work, and women should be able to do whatever they want, whether that means staying home or not. however, if you are drawn to this ideology, particularly because you are a young woman who is burnt out by work and/or has financial anxiety because of the state of the world, I'd encourage you to consider the power you are giving to men by 'submitting' or subscribing to the idea that you have a 'biological role' as a woman that provides 'balance' to a relationship. I can't remember who originally said this, but rules must always be evaluated by their ability to oppress. consider that carefully.

we've learned this lesson before about 'traditional gender roles' and I really hope that we don't have to learn it again. go read a history textbook. hell, go watch a period drama that tackles these issues set in the 50s or something if that's too boring for you.

also, think about the variety of people you've met in your life and the vast amount of different cultures in this world. you can't seriously believe that your way of doing this works for and is the best for all women? and on the flip side, that your way also works the best for all men? (Not to mention everyone who is neither/both) that's pretty dehumanizing to everyone involved. people are varied in their wants, needs, hopes, and dreams (psst - and also their genders and sexualities). I think that's beautiful actually. 🤍

Seeing a 16 year old in this very website say she wants to be a tradwife is as sickening as depressing

[shsl-fujoshi]

Appropriating tradwife culture by wearing a sundress and spending all day in the kitchen making dinner before giving my grateful husband the strap while he's face down on the kitchen table.

“feminism means that I am free to choose if I stay at home and serve my husband and make household chores my job 😌” ok but selling a $300 course containing information readily available on Google for free to impressionable young women who are more than likely a lot more financially vulnerable than you is not very feminist

just say you’re a grifter and keep the comments on to boost your engagement it’s arguably a more ethical way to exploit your audience
