‘Submitting to my husband like it's 1959': Why I became a #TradWife

[tackattack]

I agree with you both that "white supremacist women are using the traditional mother role to engineer white supremacy within society", but that doesn't mean that all traditional wives are white supremacists. And for the other leg of the argument, neither are all traditional wives being sexually repressed by their male dominance hierarchies, nor is it a necessary conclusion that because you prefer a traditional role that you don't accept other people for who they are. I think shell hit about as close to the mark for me. I'm fine with "This woman, prefers a traditional role" a lot more than "All women should have a traditional role". People have been telling other people how to live though since we could say pass that rock though, so I'm not surprised. I'm just not going to just to any conclusions that accepting a traditional role automatically means you're a submissive racist PoS looking to make money off the masses with your astroturfing channel.


My very point was that it is a normalizing tool, and that's fine as a social construct, regardless of the perceived intentions. I don't care if she invites every woman to her hate rally, sells a billion books or teaches lorena bobbit moves in the bedroom. It's not my choice, and as long as it's an expression of a desired normative role that improves cognitive dissonance, it's not a bad option.
