It’s because people are too lazy to say traditional wife. Same thing as tradcon as opposed to traditional conservative. It’s fricking Reddit and 4chan slang and it’s stupid

all of these memes were made by a terminally online catholic zoomer with no game to bolster his narcissistic fantasy of Being Masculine™ and to mask the fact that he lusts for the same baddies as everyone else and that they don’t want him.

none of that shite is real. if it were, they wouldn’t be making memes on the Internet

That may well be true

But the idea behind the social media stuff is probably real - that young people who want larger families and a quiet, simplified, faith/family-centered existence are increasingly radicals to our culture and with that comes some non-conformist appeal.

The crux is when the lifestyle you celebrate online dictates that you stop...being online so much.

But I see it as harmless and generally promoting good concepts that may take root in some of the people attracted to the memes, etc.

Ain't that some shite. People parroting this dumb arse type of language should get lambasted.

Traditional wife. Basically, have kids, be a stay at home mom and homeschool. In other words, the way it’s supposed to be.

If we're honest, mostly online. But I think that does show there is a market for it.

But I have a few personal anecdotes too. I have some cousins in what I would call the epicenter of American suburban culture (North Dallas burbs). It's interesting to observe them and their friends. They're all athletes. They're all good looking kids more or less.

They don't stare at their phones, they like to do stuff with their families, they like traditionally-minded girls. They're all going to/at pretty good colleges, but they outwardly talk about how they respect trades.

It's not groundbreaking stuff, and in reality it's pretty similar to what my college/fraternity life was like (quite a while ago). But there is definitely a vibe of popularizing rejection of some elements of popular culture, and taking some pride in doing so.

I think for most it is. Women are burnt the hell out. Can’t be a great mom and a great employee, it just isn’t possible.

this is very true - society blames men for the dissolution of the family - but it’s actually when women went to work

I take no issue with women working in a vacuum. It think the issue in being excellent at both is the toll it tends to take on women. There are some professions/jobs/companies that can help alleviate it.

I do take issue with a culture that tells women that staying at home isn't fulfilling/worthwhile "work" and that what a career offers is somehow "more than" that. It tends to, in my experience, lead to women being unfulfilled in both (career and family).
