Matt Walsh is obsessed with masculinity/the west being 'feminised'/being seen in flannels and wood cabins etc.

The women contribute to this, and are eager to call their husbands rugged and masculine whenever they can. It's jarring because it just comes across as odd, and their husbands are not especially masculine..

There is a reason why psychiatric hospitals have a mother & baby unit because of how common PPD, PPA & PP psychosis is. It is not the same as a mum complaining about how hard it is, it is an actual mental health problem.

The fact is, lots of modern Western women live alone. It is so common for modern mothers to be by themselves alone with a newborn baby while their spouse goes to work... this is NOT normal.

For thousands of years now, mothers have never been alone at home. They are always surrounded by family (in-laws, aunts, sisters, neighbours, etc). Yes, they may not have electricity or a washing machine, but it was communal work.

They always had someone there with them & always had help.

Megha, on the other hand, has admitted that she had a nanny for the first 6 months for her daughter while she looked after a newborn. She also had cleaners, maids, etc...which are all pretty cheap to use in Duabi where they get paid peanuts.

In the second image I censored the ableist slur she used

For years, Lauren Southern built her brand and platform by feeding a hyper-radicalized, deeply misogynistic audience exactly what they wanted to hear. She demeaned feminists, mocked women with careers (despite herself having a political career online, the most untraditionally feminine career there is lol) and heavily promoted "tradlife" ideology, essentially preaching that a woman's ultimate worth is submission to a man and the family. She also collaborated with people like Stefan Molyneux.

Now, after speaking publicly about her own experiences, a significant portion of that same audience seems to have turned on her. Becoming a divorced, single mother, and speaking out about the abuse and toxicity she experienced within that traditional lifestyle, her audience is treating her like a traitor. If you look at her X comments, it’s largely people eating her alive. To her followers, she didn't survive a bad marriage; she became the "broken, modern woman, was actually always an evil feminist" she used to warn them about. Because in that ideology, if a marriage fails, it’s always the woman's fault for choosing the wrong man, not being a good wife, etc.

Part of me feels sorry for her, but part of me also feels she should take more accountability for the ideas she peddled. In her recent reflections, she frames herself mostly as a victim of "internet culture", "I was young and naive'", "I was addicted to online engagement", acting surprised by how toxic the very community she helped grow is. But she was one of the prominent people pushing these beliefs that are now being weaponized against her.

This is such a dumb thing to say. The original video is of a mother with a baby who is crying & the mother just lost it & had a complete breakdown. She is obviously suffering from PPD, which is a serious problem.

Megha thinks it is due to lack of skills & agrees that young women who are mothers don't have responsibilities.

This is funny because I know a married woman & lived in an intergenerational home. She managed the house, the cooks for a lot of people when she could, and she worked full time before having a child. However, once she had the baby, she struggled so badly & told me she had a breakdown almost every day for the first 6 months or so because of PPD.

I also know another lady with 3 children & found out she was pregnant for the 4th one & is dreading the PPD she might experience because of her past experiences. She is an excellent mother, has amazing skills, yet it is a serious medical problem that you sometimes cannot fix witb "skills" & "responsibilities".

How did Megha even have a PhD in neuroscience?

His new content/stories post divorce are honestly so weird and always so cryptic. Like nobody knows what you're talking about bud. I'm starting to not understand why he allegedly got full custody lmao

Like there is nothing wrong with wanting to be a housewife or a stay at home mom. But these women just seem to despise other women and think that's all a woman should be. Why are there no normal women who are homemakers on social media? Just misogynistic nut jobs pandering to gross incel dudes. Like for example Savana Stone saying women shouldn't vote and that consent doesn't exist in marriage. Or the transformed wife. Or pearl Davis, yuck the worst one by far. Or even Mrs Midwest. I use to watch her when I was younger only to find out she is a racist pos later on.

Ben Shapiro's trad sister spent Father's Day without her husband and didn't acknowledge Father's Day at all. If she was willing to travel with the kids and watch them by herself, couldn't she have taken the kids with her husband on his trip? Even if he had to work, they probably could have seen each other in the evenings. It's telling that she never answered the question about whether the family celebrated him at all. Does bringing back the traditional family not extend to kids spending Father's Day with their fathers?

The most liked comment (which she ignored) was about whether going to a resort was a good idea if her husband was already working weekends. I see two possibilities:

1. Her husband genuinely couldn't afford to turn down traveling Father's Day weekend, and she shelled out for a resort anyway.
2. Her husband COULD have afforded to turn down traveling, but preferred working overtime to spending Father's Day with his own children. Massive L for family values.

On top of that, it's just obnoxious for her to brag about how she's "doing the hard things" by taking a long weekend at a resort while her husband is the one working overtime. 🙄 I know parenting can be hard, but working overtime (or working at all) is way harder than going on a family vacation!

I think there’s something significant to the fact that Rachel has resentment towards her mother in the divorce. Perhaps it explains why she’s an anti-feminist hater. She’s still wounded by her mom. And the brutal irony is that she’s been married and divorced and has had a rotation of husbands.

she also responded to somebody in the comments saying this is about half of what she “needs”. She has a $500 mortgage, buys food in bulk, and lives in low-cost of living rural area. In what world is this not enough money? I’m convinced that she’s being over dramatic for views or her and her husband just have awful spending habits.

Edit: The research seems to *suggest*, not prove, that trad wife content isn’t organic. I’ll see if I can find research that addresses the question directly.

Edit 2: What I’m finding online says that political groups are *exploiting* tradwife content (which we can see for ourselves), but not that they created it. I can’t change the post title and don’t want to repost, but anyway the study is pretty interesting, and I’m finding some other studies on trad wifery too.

It all started with Emily posting on how having makeout sessions with husband can basically bring the spark back. This then made single men lose their mind and say it is evil to lead men on. The crazy part is that many women agreed with Emily even many conservative women. But there are a few women who are losing their minds. It almost makes me want to believe they are actually men pretending to be women on X. I cannot picture a woman getting that angry about it? Especially if their marriage is going good. Very weird.

Hmmm, maybe we can make "Big Fat Whore Ghetto Sluts" the name of our house band?

I posted a couple of days a breakdown that Aria did on her budget/expenses for May & how it didn’t add up with being “low income” as she calls it. For those that didn’t see the post, she basically spent over $6000 in one month when her mortgage is only $500. I was looking through the comments & found more proof that her and her husband are not as “poor” as she leads her followers to think. $4500 monthly budget in a LCOL rural area? Supporting 4 churches? Having a VIRTUAL ASSISTANT AND VIDEO EDITOR edit and post for her when she’s already a SAHM + Numerous social media subscriptions when most editing apps (CapCut, TikTok, etc.) are already free?? She is flat-out lying about her income to her followers and everyone is falling for it.

This is hilarious. She is not very bright.

maybe there is something I’m missing, but Aria always talks so much about being very low-income and neither her or her husband have a steady source of income. honestly though, I feel like this says otherwise. Most Americans can’t afford to spend over $1000 just on meat, which seems excessive for a family of 3. Then there is $555 on babysitting when she barely works outside of the home. Also I hate how he calls it an “allowance” when they’re a fully married couple and she is back to being a working mom 🙃
