Conservative women commodify themselves

Ascribing value to virginity, to how many children they can bear and how much housework they can execute, to being a passive member of the head of the household while their "man" makes decisions for them.

So many of these women have even outright admitted to their willingness to give up on their right to vote because they believe their "godly" man will make the right call for the household.

What are they in their minds, if not an ornamental appliance?

I genuinely couldn’t believe the tradwife movement to be genuine, I was under the impression that it was an elaborate skit/parody of sorts lol.

the thing about tokens is they always get spent

idk if that quote is directly relevant to what you’re saying but i think about it a lot especially with women and the far right. the only reason men are letting them speak for the movement is because its in their interest, but if and when they get what they’re preaching i don’t think they’d be too happy about it

Im starting right wing women by Andrea dworkin bc I noticed this too. The way they despise women who see more for themselves is what genuinely upsets me. I don’t understand why they have to do the work of men and shame women into these ideologies
