I'm pretty apathetic about this movement in its own right. The main thing I love about this movement is how it triggers all the liberals.

The constant negative and unnecessary propaganda machine meant to confuse and annoy everyone needs to stop.

I like the underlying push for traditionalism among young people if we can strip out all the other trappings. It's just muddied with all the social media stuff that comes along with it.

I'll concede that it may be impossible for those ideas to spread absent social media given how this generation operates. But in theory I suppose converts to it would then abandon it (or minimize it), so it just seems a little odd for a movement centered on discarding modern culture to be evangelized via social media influencers

I have no idea what you're talking about but if liberals hate it I'm on board.

The problem with all these ‘movements’ is how everyone is being labeled. If you’re happy, who cares what category you fit in - I don’t want to hear about it.

I have family who take it to extremes. They all dress like they're on little house on the prairie. They constantly talk about being self sufficient but they're buying their rabbit food at the feed store and using store bought seedlings in their 48 square foot farm. I like some aspects of it but for most it seems to be another social media "I'm better than you" attention grab.

You’re too online. You’ve lost context.

I can't keep up with the made up words. I really have no desire to either.

Whatever happened to Pecker's interesting animal threads?

This desire to granularly quantify everything in life (especially when the qualifier does it to things they don't like) is emblematic of a populace grown too fat and lazy. Not having a strong enough enemy to bond against, a large, non-homogeneous society will seek to create enemies within to bond and fight against.

I want to see a society where if a woman wants to work she can, and if she wants to stay home she can, and either way, the family can be successful.

It's hard to be a tradwife with college debt unless you marry rich.

This is all fine and good. If you want to be a "traditional wife" within a family leading a "traditional life", go for it. One BIG hurdle is going to need to be cleared first, though. People will need to stop being slaves to their things. That's going to involve some tough choices in order for people to truly embrace that life. You (most people/families) can't have all the possessions on a single-income budget. Keeping up with the Joneses will have to stop. The credit train will have to stop. Living beyond your means will have stop. And I mean truly stop, not just look that way on carefully-crafted social media posts.

That's the problem with "trends" that begin on social media. The end consumer only gets a manipulated picture. They only see what they are meant to see. Little of it is real, and judging yourself against it, or using it as a measuring stick or blueprint is risky business.

In short, this "tradwife" shite is going to be tough on many because it will run counter to every fiber of their being.

Leftists try to connect it with white supremacy... When it doubt, argue race. It is, along with sexual misconduct, an accusation that puts the burden of proof on the accused.

My wife was a defacto Tradwife by mutual agreement 30+ years ago.

I think it gives kids a better sense of security and I loved the hell out of mine being a stay at home mom.

Not falling for the marriage trap. There is no upside for men. The courts and legal system favor women and always have. They can file for divorce anytime they want and can end up taking at least half your money, home, possessions, and children. The courts would also rather give custody to a lousy mother than a good father. Take care of yourself, keep your own home and money, and stick to casual hookups. That's the only way a man comes out ahead.
