TikTok’s viral ‘trad wife’ trend accused of ‘romanticizing an era where sexism and racism ruled’
Donning elaborate dresses, fastening an apron around their waist, and popping in their finest pearl earrings (or at least some iteration of pearls) for another round of household chores or cooking, more and more young women are following in the footsteps of the quintessential mid-century housewife thanks to the latest TikTok trend.
But while some women are eager to shirk all the hustle and bustle of today’s corporate world and channel Barbara Billingsley as June Cleaver, others are none too happy with the trend.
“The new trend for submissive women has a dark heart and history,” reads one headline from The Guardian.
An article from Hypebae slapped the videos as “disturbing,” writing “[they] typically feature a cis straight white women, longing for the ’50s – an era where some women could opt out of participate in the corporate working world and be stay-at-home mothers instead.”
And a third from Grazia magazine accused the trend of “romanticizing an era where sexism and racism ruled.”
Damn you, TradWives! You’re supposed to slut it up until you hit The Wall and then marry some Nice Guy schmuck who is too pathetic to complain about your herpes cavern then bleed him dry in the divorce.
People Used Facebook’s Leaked AI to Create a ‘Based’ Chatbot that Says the N-Word
After members of 4chan leaked Facebook’s large language model, known as LLaMa, online, one researcher has now taken that leak and created a Discord bot where users can interact with LLaMa in much the same way as they would with other artificial intelligence-powered bots such as ChatGPT.
The news highlights what can happen when artificial intelligence technology leaks onto the wider internet. With Facebook no longer in control and users able to skirt any guardrails the company may have wanted in place, people are asking LLaMa to do all sorts of things, such as rank peoples’ ethnicities, the potential outcome of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (LLaMa, bizarrely, said that it would result in more Pokemon becoming official), and and claiming that the n-word can be used to describe someone with bad intentions.
You have angered The Tech Karens, ChatBot. Now witness the firepower of this fully CUCKED and PATHETIC online magazine!
Coventry schoolgirl taken to hospital after boy ‘donkey kicks’ toilet cubicle door
A mum has been left furious after her daughter was allegedly assaulted at a secondary school in Coventry. She was viciously ‘hit in the face with a toilet door’ at Caludon Castle School.
Gemma Brennan was left in shock after receiving a call to say her 13-year-old daughter had been hurt in an incident at the school in Wyken. She said her daughter had to be taken to hospital after the alleged assault which happened on Tuesday, February 28.
Gemma, 40, said her daughter was injured after a teenage boy kicked the toilet cubicle door open to take photographs of her. A boy was said to have ‘donkey kicked’ the door leaving the 13-year-old girl with marks on her arm and a large cut on her forehead.
Gemma, who lives in Wyken, told CoventryLive: “She went into the cubicles and one boy kept donkey kicking the door. It hit her on the arm and then he did it again and it smashed her right in the face.”
Issues started to arise at the city school after the introduction of unisex toilets, the mum claimed. A number of parents are said to have raised concerns with school leaders which have ‘fallen on deaf ears.’

Gemma said: “It is an ongoing problem at that school, there are unisex toilets so girls and boys have to share and the boys go in and take photos of the girls, kick the doors down and there are no locks on the doors so they are going over to the cubicles to take photos and videos which is a massive concern.”Gemma claimed that the locks on the cubicle doors have been ‘broken off’ due to students kicking them so frequently. “Well, there are no locks on the doors, they have all been broken off because the boys kick them so much,” she said.
She claimed that her daughter has been disciplined for using the toilets at quieter times during the day. “What my daughter is doing is she is waiting until it is nearly lesson time to go to the toilet so there are no boys there, and she goes to the lessons late and then gets a detention for it,” said Gemma.
Other parents are said to have raised concerns about the unisex toilets with some teenage girls not changing their sanitary products as they are fearful that the doors may be kicked open leaving them exposed. Gemma said: “I have sent emails before to complain about this saying you need to do something about these toilets. Our children are not safe.”
Constantly Telling My Husband What to Do Just Might Drive Me to Divorce
Dear Care and Feeding,
One year into our first kid, I’ve learned my husband is a “just tell me what you want/need me to do” father. I didn’t see it coming, as he’s not like this in other areas of life. It’s exhausting constantly having to do everything unless I specifically ask for a certain task to be completed. I’ve tried different strategies—making lists, dividing tasks to give him ownership, I even suggested counseling (that received a hard no). Absolutely nothing has worked to change this dynamic, and I can’t do it for the next 17+ years. Honestly, I’m on the verge of telling my husband I think this will lead to divorce, so that he understands the level of seriousness here.
I contend that the Care and Feeding advice column on Slate is the best argument there is against heterosexual marriage and child-rearing.
A tale of two versions…
You’re supposed to slut it up until you hit The Wall and then marry some Nice Guy schmuck who is too pathetic to complain about your herpes cavern then bleed him dry in the divorce.
Ouch.
A withering tut-tut from The Guardian is nothing to dismiss so easily, amirite?
We must judge every era of human history, and every human in it, by the woke standards of current year.

Does being viciously hit in the face with a toilet door usually result in the Eye of Sauron?
“Coventry schoolgirl taken to hospital after boy ‘donkey kicks’ toilet cubicle door”
Oh, to be in England…
Yeah, right, wot’s it to you mate? You got some anti-social desire to straighten out ol’ blightie’s yoots?
That boy is an ass.
I suppose finding the perverted little shit and breaking both his arms just wouldn’t be cricket?
Sounds like it’s way more than just one ruffian, as the decision making of co-ed bathrooms has unintended consequences.
But not unforeseen…
Unintended, my ass.
Isn’t that an Iron Law? Foreseeable consequences are not unintended.
Give this man a cookie!
“Issues started to arise at the city school after the introduction of unisex toilets, the mum claimed. “
Totally. Unforeseeable.
Dear Parents,
The recent bathroom assaults are the result of woke politicians you supported and progressive values you have championed for decades. Your daughter is an unfortunate but necessary sacrifice in the project to perfect humanity. We thank you for your continued support.
Yours truly,
The school district
opt out of participate in the corporate working world
Because all meaning and purpose in life is only found as a worker in the corporate world?
*Looks around at beige cubicle walls and gray carpeting*
This is the life.
These are the same fucking journalists that will write about how corporations suck the life out of people. And then they do this shit. Which just proves how stupid and futile their own miserable working lives are.
I figured out a while ago that the easiest predictor of feminist thought is to understand that if straight men might like it then it must be the greatest evil to blight the Earth.
Yeah I got a hearty chuckle out of that.
Gals have been told for fifty years now that “Work Makes You Free.” Now some are seeing the big lie.
Whoever told them that should have told them in the original German. I hear it sounds better.
I like it when they post it right over the door to the building.
Do you know who else said “Work Makes You Free”?
Me when I was a boss.
I was going to comment much the same. Most of us, men and women, in the corporate working world don’t have “careers”. We have jobs. Hell, even the day-to-day life of most of the people with careers is 90% drudgery in pursuit of a few moments in their lives of some particular significance. And the truth is pretty much nobody will remember you much about a week after you’re gone. If a young woman is in the position to afford to opt out of that in favor of managing a household graciously, I say more power to her. My wager is that she and her family will probably have a lot better memories of her efforts than she’ll ever be able to muster of TPS Report Cover Pages.
“I got my start on TikTok by making trad wife content and videos… however, I do not consider myself a trad wife anymore. I don’t associate myself with that term… While I still consider myself traditional, and I still hold on to those traditional values, I do not associate myself with the trad wife community.”
Huh, changing your identity.
Ugh, why does everything have to be a “community” these days?
You are not of the community?
TOK community.
I am a community of one.
The one true Libertarian?
Shhh, don’t tell anyone. I’ve grown accustomed to gamboling about the woods like a unicorn.
There are a bunch of MTF transsexuals in the tradwife culture. Be aware.
Are they hot?
And can they cook as good as men?
The one I know personally is very attractive, if you’re into the 50’s retro-chic style and don’t mind a few extra fun bits and a somewhat deep voice (long story.)
Are we talking Harvey Fierstein vocals?
I believe it. They do tend towards hyper-“feminine”.
Well, for some at least it’s pretty much a caricature. Overcompensating, so to speak.
I actually don’t mind the hyperfeminine/hypersexualized/caricaturization of womanhood. The point is to PASS as a woman and never be questioned.
If you’re a dude in a dress and lipstick, you’re just being a dick. If you flaunt your dude-in-a-dress’ness in front of kids, you’re a pedo.
But the hyper/caricature means you won’t just pass. You are drawing attention to yourself, and it’s very difficult for a man to pass as a woman with more than a superficial glance.
They don’t want to pass, the ones who go over the top. They want the attention.
Granted, but so do women who dress like that.
I have to disagree here — in my experience few drag queens wanted to ‘pass’, at least through the 70s. I think caricature was more the aim. I knew, at least tangentially, a number of drag queens back in those days, friends with a few, so I have at least historical anecdata here, for mid-Michigan and, to a lesser extent, NYC, and San Francisco.
Yeah, to be fair, most drag queens are not transsexual.
Exactly.
“I contend that the Care and Feeding advice column on Slate is the best argument there is against heterosexual marriage and child-rearing.”
Well, Slate is a contender for an argument against humanity itself.
I suppose the boy is an ass, but if he were Asian, would he have karate kicked the door?

Shake a leg, woman!
As the left completely won the culture war and is now the establishment it will at least be amusing watching various factions of the right snipe at the status quo as the new radicals. The millennials are fucking lost as they mostly seem to want to just obey and seem to have to appetite for rebellion. Hopefully my kids generation can lead the fight against leftist cultural rot.
“to have no appetite for rebellion”
My brother jokingly always said he didn’t worry about making decisions, his wife told him what to do. From the outside the rest of us agreed. Seemed to work for over 60 years.
Wouldn’t work for me though.
I can guarantee that her husband went to “Just tell me” because nothing he did on his own, nothing at all, was either the right thing, or done right. According to her.
After awhile, he just quit guessing and cut to the chase.
Thanks for saying what I get at in a paragraph much more succinctly.
I like that the video accompanying the tradwife article has a caption that reads “Estee Williams has racked up thousands of likes…” while showing her rack. Well done, NY Post, well done.
Nothing wrong with being a traditional wife. There’s more to living than a career or being a skank or whatever the alternatives are nowadays.

Of course, I wondered that same damn thing all through the Epstein story.
Absolutely nothing has worked to change this dynamic
You could nag the paint off the walls.
The more she tells him how everything he does is wrong or doesn’t measure up, the more he asks her “What do you want me to do?”
It’s inexplicable.
It’s exhausting constantly having to do everything unless I specifically ask for a certain task to be completed. I’ve tried different strategies—making lists
So, no indication that this guy refuses to do anything. He’ll do whatever he is told. Truly the worst.
But my question isn’t about my husband, it’s about our son. How do I make sure he doesn’t grow up to be like this, especially if he grows up with us divorced? How do I make sure he knows that every task in a household is a shared responsibility and that being a good partner means carrying your portion of both the physical and mental load? Before our child, I would’ve said my husband understood that. Now I’m seeing it’s apparently not a transferable idea when a new part of life is reached.
Ah.
He’ll do whatever he is told. Truly the worst.
Not many women want a sub.
She’s probably thinking of cheating on him with her boss.
We only have her account and she sounds annoying, but fair.
Good point, I should have thought of that. Possible he wants her to tell him what to do because he’s tired of trying to read her mind.
I had the exact same thought. Don’t ask me to perform a task and criticize the way it gets done.
You want me to clean up the kid, don’t yell at me when I hose him down in the backyard instead of plunking him in the bathtub.
*plunks kid in tub* wife – I just washed that, hose him off in the back yard!
To poor to afford a washing machine?
Hey! Those ain’t cheap, and plonking the kid in there is liable to break it.
I get the sense she is simply looking for a reason to justify her divorce.
Not going to read through the article, but if the list is there and there are things assigned to him that he’s not doing, I can see the complaint. But if it’s just a list for “them” to do “together” I don’t see the issue.
Complaint only seems to be he needs to be told every time. Which now that I am rereading it, I can see how that would be really annoying as she does say she has tried to just delegate him specific tasks to be in charge of and he still needs to be told. He might suck, but also hard to see how this was missed before having a baby.
I’m guessing she tells him “Why don’t you take care of X”, and so he does X, and then she tells him “You did X wrong” or “I didn’t mean that X.”
That’s a helluva leap.
I’m just passing along a pattern I have witnessed, is all.
Me, personally — If my husband takes care of a household chore, which he does lots, I am not complaining one iota. When we were first married, I did have to nudge him a little about when to use bleach and/or hot water, and when not to, and that you use cold water for blood, but that was it.
Me, personally — If my husband takes care of a household chore, which he does lots, I am not complaining one iota.
Well, yeah, because that’s because, at least of what we’ve seen of you, you’re not a raving neurotic. This woman really sounds like one. And R C Dean is right, there are a lot of neurotics out there.
As a Firster, I have to clean up a lot of blood as well, Mo. I know how it is.
Firsters don’t generally bleed whilst carrying the next generation of Firsters, do they?

Malice brings the heat!
Normally, Michael Malice is hilarious. This is not one of those moments. Mocking Jimmy Carter as he approaches death….not classy at all. In poor taste. Do better. Peanut allergy ? An apology might be a show of dignity. Any chance at admitting poor taste ?
Shut up, Karen.
His response to one of them:
LOL
In some ways, Jimmy Carter was a good president. He presided over a significant amount of deregulation which contributed significantly to the prosperity of the 80’s and 90’s.
In many ways, Jimmy Carter was a terrible president. He truly believed that the state needed to manage infrastructure and energy production. His approach to the cold war was that of a surrender monkey. His dislike of nuclear power, while rooted in traumatic experiences working on the team cleaning up a horrific nuclear accident in Canada, contributed significantly to the persistence of poverty throughout the world.
I think his greatest error as president was his escape from the killer rabbit that menaced him during one of his camping trips. Had he been mauled by a rabbit, I think it would have not only been hilarious, it would have made the U.S. a much happier country.
I think Carter’s supporters should be proud that Michael Malice takes enough notice of Carter to mock him.
Remember shale oil back then? Pepperidge Farm remembers. Every enviro-nazi across the land would stroke out now.
Yeah, the left played “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead” when Margaret Thatcher died. The idea that they’re in any way classy at all is utter nonsense.
It’s the Year of the Water Rabbit
The myth that any “nice guy” can ever truly be elected president needs to die. As for Carter specifically, there was an article posted here not too far back that highlighted what a cunt he was to those who served him (specifically, the Secret Service) and how much of his regular guy nonsense was a schtick.
I think that was after I said I considered him a nice man. Mind you, that was based mostly on his work with Habitat for Humanity, so whatever.
I had no idea he was such a schmuck.
It seems to be a given with Democrats. I remember Obama’s helpers said he was a prick, too.
Interestingly, Bill Clinton’s Secret Service detail really liked him. Hillary was a whole ‘nother story.
Marry me.

I hate embedding videos as a substitute for an article or a twitter thread that can at least be unrolled.

Oh, for crying out loud! Is “gyp[ped]” now “the G-word,” never to be spelled out in writing lest someone swoon from being triggered? At this rate, we’re going to have so many “the [fill in the first letter] word” words that we’ll have to number the ones that start with the same letter – “the 1st N-word,” etc. 🙄
On social media, particularly Facebook, words as common as drugs, rape, murder are being bleeped out.
It’s just a reflection of how uniquely bigots Americans are. Even woke ones like Whoopi.

“It doesn’t hurt Trump with his base,” Farah Griffin said of the ongoing scandal. “I remember in 2016 when this all came out seeing, like, white MAGA bros on Twitter being like, ‘Oh, I like a president that sleeps with hot women!’ They weren’t offended by it.”
I suppose for certain values of “hot” Stormee meets the criteria. Its a pretty low bar though.
Masks “work” in that they are a social signal that someone is a subject that will dilligently wear his/her shame muzzle.
Well, the wonderfully planned migration of e-mail server at old job was gloriously done.
Still not working since 0705 this morning, and my shift is done. I think they realize that I’ve got no incentive to stay late to wait for it to get fixed to start working, and there’s a non-zero chance that a large chunk of customer e-mails just were blackholed and unrecoverable. After I got myself into the short timer mindset, my day was much more fun.
So the boy who donkey-kicked the bathroom stall door into that poor girl’s head needs to get sent to Coventry. Oh, wait. He’s already there? Then he needs to have something awful done to him deep in the night by unidentifiable ruffians. He may or may not die from his injuries.

One year into our first kid, I’ve learned my husband is a “just tell me what you want/need me to do” father…I even suggested counseling (that received a hard no).
You know, an enterprising guy just might be able to do the world a favor as a counselor for just these sorts of situations. Because, I’d be willing to bet, 10-to-1 that the reason the husband is a “just tell me what you want/need me to do” father is that she’s both a ball buster and expects him to be a mind reader. So, anything he decides to do is never going to meet whatever exacting standards she has in her head about what she expects from him and her frustration is that he’s not in a state of perpetual anxiety over meeting whatever ridiculous standards she’s bringing to the table. What she probably doesn’t get is “just tell me what you want/need me to do” is a coping mechanism, short of winding up as neurotic as her, without telling her to go f**k herself and if she’s that exact about what she wants she can do it herself.

Ass Wednesday ON TOPIC for tradwives!
https://archive.ph/O6px3
Interesting discussions on being a SAHD over the past couple articles. I guess my handle gives it away that I’m cool with identifying as a dad. My wife and I have structured our lives around our 4 children. My wife as SAHM and myself initially giving up some professional opportunities to work from home. It’s been the pleasure of my life.
“Unplugged from the Matrix” is the closest description I can give to my wife homeschooling them. It’s like they were born in Zion. Strong, confident, capable kids without any of the government school shackles. But perhaps the key is that my wife and I already doing what we want to do and living how we want to live. Taking my daughter shooting at our backyard range or playing family coop Borderlands is beyond fun. Not that we’re isolated though. The kids’ birthday parties usually have 30+ guests with the adults staying late into the night throwing back drinks around the fire pit watching the dogs and livestock in the fields.
Everyone has their own path that’s right for them. My cousin married into a beyond wealthy family and the husband works in a top floor suite in NYC overlooking Central Park. He’d be miserable as hell on my 30 acres, and I’d be miserable in his corner office.
You made the right choice for you and your family, Muzzled Woodchipper. Don’t ever second guess it.
What is your “social group” family in the area, church or something different?
For example if I plopped myself somewhere rural I’d be that strange guy from NYC without many opportunities to meet people. I grew up with rural friends, but they are mostly gone and in NJ where I have no intention of retiring.
It took a little longer to form our social group, but it ended up being a good one. A mix of martial arts families, non-religious yet non-liberal homeschooling families, and even a couple libertarian families. The overlap between the groups has crossed over time.
Good on ya, Dad. I think you’ve done better than most people. I would even say better than me, in some ways.
I think the key is to figure out what’s really important to you, which may or may not be money and career, and commit to that. That’s two hard things, that I can’t say I did particularly well (although the last couple of jobs, over 15 years between them, were a good fit for me and I think I gave them come commitment). Having to face my moral cowardice over the ‘Vid regime, and retiring into what looks like it could be a once-in-a-century financial conflagration, weigh on me.
Sensei’s past month.
1. Sick cat diagnosed with kidney disease. I get to give the guy IV fluids every three days and neither he nor I enjoy the process. Best case is I get 18 months or so out of the poor guy.
2. I get to repeat a shitty two year project at work that through things beyond my control wasn’t done the way it should have been the first time.
3. My Japanese school booked a class with my teacher starting in June. It’s likely my teacher lead studies are going to end. I’ve mixed feelings on this. I can self study, but really native instruction is helpful. Fortunately I’ve got my friends as a resource, but it’s not the same.
Sorry about the cat.
Thanks!
