Tradwife stereotypes are making male loneliness worse
Tradwife stereotypes are making male loneliness worse
There's serious money in peddling fantasies of female submission online, but it may be exacerbating male loneliness
O! foolish male lifestyle influencers
Woe to your machinations and merch stores
It is I who yearns to be the homemakerI just want to be loved. I am not looking a submissive woman. I don’t have a list of requirements. Is that so hard for people playing these stupid politics to understand. If the lady don’t know how to cook, I will. I am looking for a relationship, not a servant or slave.
I sometimes want to ask guys pining for a traditional wife why they'd want a pet instead of a partner, but I know better.
An interesting video on the topic, that directly argues against a lot of what the article says
The video is not addressing the specific argument in the article. The main argument in the article is that the interest in tradwives is harming men’s ability to function in the real dating world. That seems plausible to me. There are probably not that many women who are into being tradwives so it’s an outrageous expectation to normalize.
The video doesn’t address that thesis at all. It’s making more of a libertarian argument: “tradwives aren’t hurting anyone so leave them alone.” But even if women should be allowed to be tradwives, that says nothing about whether men and other women are harmed by the promotion of these regressive gender norms. At one point, the video shows a ton of examples of men wishing violence on tradwife women, for e.g. not having dinner done on time. Somehow, this YouTuber still doesn’t see how promoting this view of a women’s place is harmful.
I haven't really heard anything about her since gamergate, and the anti-SJW/feminist days in the 2010's. I have seen her pop up twice in a week, both times in places where anti-SJW beliefs would not be welcome.
Are her views/take fairly shallow and easily swayed, has she matured as a person and changed her politics, or is she just an online creator following where the trends are for views?
ShoeOnHead primarily produces rightwing dogwhistle content. Her videos are generally not welcome here.
EDIT: More info for those curious: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Shoe0nHead TLDR is that she's pretty explicitly an antifeminist and has been for as long as she's been in the public eye (since gamergate).
If you are going to peddle such miserable drivel, at least have the common courtesy to make it a piped link
Lmao you're in the responses to someone who posted a fucking salon article. This is hardly the drivel here
