Alt-Right Star Details NIGHTMARE Tradwife Experience

"Does promoting marriage and motherhood inevitably make women easy targets for subordinate status, increased vulnerability, and a return to second-class status? One of the very first columns I wrote at UnHerd, back in 2019, described how, for me, becoming a mum meant giving up on a great deal of the liberal ideology I’d embraced when younger — because it was impossible to square with the embodied reality of caring for a baby. A relatively conventional home life turned out to be much more fulfilling than the radical one I’d adopted with my progressive politics.

My accounts of questioning this individualistic ideology, and embracing marriage and motherhood have resonated with social conservatives. Most of these, it goes without saying, feel (as I do) that family life and women’s distinctive sexed realities should be better understood and valued in the public conversation. Some, though, take more hardline positions: that women should never work, for example, that we should always be submissive – or even that women’s right to vote should be repealed."

If “Be careful what you wish for” was a person!

[liliswenson]

I am 77 and grew up in thev1950s. Her view of a traditional wife is not what a traditional 1950s wife was like. Sounds like she married a guy with some personality and emotional problems. Traditional may have stayed home and not worked, but they RAN the household and were not as submissive as she imagines. The wife made the household rules.

[GabrielNicho]

Who knew that ignoring tons of red flags and marrying someone anti-social could lead to a bad

[mgaus]

Here's a hot take:

A toxic relationship can be progressive or traditional. The basis of values doesn't dictate the relationship's success or health

[Scops]

You wanted to be treated like crap, you was treated like one. Marriage shouldn't be master-slave relationship, but two people going through life sharing both joy and pain together.

[derekrequiem]

Huh, so she became one of those divorced single moms that she previously hated so much.

Karma, how I love you 😂😂😂

[johnmiller]

The number one problem with the "trad" wife concept, is we don't live in the world any more. They only way for that to work would be to find a kind, compassionate, loving husband. But here's the catch, any husband who is those things, doesn't wan't a trad wife, he wants a partner, not a submissive. So all that leaves is the assholes.

[williezar]

My mom used to say, "Be careful of what you wish for". Turn out she had a great point.

[Betavey]

This is why women fought so hard to get away from being forced to live this life style. It puts you in a extremely vulnerable position for many forms of abuse

[dayrohan]

If she listened to the women that lived that way… she wouldn’t be in this mess. There’s a reason, many women cringed at traditionalism.

[anonymousa-uyhk]

Nah, no sympathy for her. That’s like feeling sorry for a person who just realized that punching someone in the face is wrong because they got hurt by someone else punching them in the face. She didn’t understand because she didn’t want to and she felt so secure about her life that she believed she would never be put in a position where she would have to understand the other side and what other people were possibly going through. I say toughsky shitsky, Lauren.

[DanLetts]

I used to work with Lauren Southern right before she moved to Toronto to work with rebel media. Probably one of the most naïve women I ever met. And she’s still naïve. Pushing 30 she is still naïve. Imagine being 21 years old and thinking you have all the solutions for the world’s problems. Imagine that.

[MoonBeamsChild]

Give her credit for what? Realizing she was wrong? Are you serious? She got a taste of her own medicine. This is freaking karma!!! Nah... No credit!!!!

[jasonmay]

Who would've have guessed a man with toxic right wing views would treat his wife like utter crap?

[nedsantos]

Tell her to pull herself up from the
Not to be cold-hearted here, but what she essentially did was just the same thing the conservative chauvinists have been doing to the women who choose not to be someone's "tradwife" but to find their own worth and strength and to be independent.

[dawn-gktr]

He spotted a willing victim and, with her co-operation, tried the limits and found she had no boundaries so he kept pushing . I have no doubt that he finally got so bored that he stopped caring if he lost his slave .
I married in 1966 and my husband used to say that any man who needed a submissive woman was a dead loser who had no sense of worth . He also was horrified to think of how " bloody boring " living with a " little woman " would be. Suited us both until death parted us.

[JCasR]

Let’s remember… plenty of wives and mothers packed up and left their husbands and families back in the 1950’s too

[pitchforksforRichie]

Who’ve thunk becoming property of another would have bad consequences

[rmsavig]

Why do people think a 22 year old knows much?

[whereaboutsunknown]

Everyone makes errors. She has the balls to admit she was wrong.
