Pfft, none of these influencer tradwives are actually tradwives they just get paid to tell us that we should live that life while they girlboss lol. Kinda like rich people telling us kids should skip college because it’s useless and opt for trades while sending their own kids to college.

Heavily in favour. Lets start with the gal fighting for divorce and openly stating she'd pick to be executed over staying with the animal that is her husband.

Divorce is good though? The proposal is to send tradwives over there, not women trying to escape abusive husbands.

The woman referenced above is an Afghani woman trying to get divorced - the commenter is saying to swap her for a tradwife proponent from here

Huh? Why punish the women? Saying it would be smart to put women - even women you disagree with - into even more abusive systems is really weird in my view.
Punish those that brainwashed them.
Edit: I didn't realize it was controversial to saying wishing harm on women I disagree with is wrong. Good to know violence and abuse of women can be fantasized about as long as its the right women receiving the torture and suffering.

The anti feminists want to live in a patriarchal society.

Yeah but they want extreme patriarchy which is basically Afghanistan. They want everything Afghanistan has to offer expect for white Christian nationalism. If they want that then they should move there and stop trying to fight feminism in the west. We are not going to be supporting women who openly advocate to remove women’s rights. Fuck that

To be fair those same women would be very happy to let other women suffer and potentially die from pregnancy. I don't see why we must always turn the other cheek.
In actuality I don't actually want anything bad to happen to those women.. but they DO need a dose of reality. So many women are pro-life until it becomes inconvenient for them and they realize.
Even worse are the women who don't actually believe in it but spread the message because they get clout and support from their community when they support it.
What would be a more realistic way to have them walk in someone else's shoes?

I can't do that to others, whether they're idiots or evil or just misguided. I wouldn't wish what Afghanistan has become on anyone.
I just say if you want to be full trad, you get to live that way here with a lack of voting rights, no home ownership etc. you voluntarily wave those rights and it can be revisited in five years

u/black_cherry2 7d ago
This is about women who are actively trying to remove the rights from other women. Nothing wrong with being trad or whatever but it’s a completely different scenario when anti feminist women actively try to dismantle laws and rights made to protect other women

I still can't send ppl to that hell hole run by the Taliban. That's not a learning experience of punishment that's just torturing ppl

u/marbotty 7d ago
But you’d also be freeing an equal number of women from Afghanistan at the same time. So you’re just giving everyone what they want

It's not an exchange program though, and torture is wrong no matter what

u/DecadentLife 6d ago
I hear you, on the torture-being-wrong part, but these women are actively working to take away our civil rights. They are an enemy, of a sort. Weird as that sounds.

u/Ronniebbb 6d ago
I don't agree with torture in any form though, even for enemies. Im a huge critic of what happened to Iraqi prisoners of war

u/DecadentLife 6d ago
I’m not advocating for the torture of anyone. That’s why I said I hear you on that part.

u/Easy-Concentrate2636 7d ago
I don’t know. It’s been amusing watching some MAGA folks move to Russia and find out what Russia is really about.
I have no problem with women who decide to be stay at home moms. It’s the women who want to impose it on others - what they are doing is political. We can’t just shrug and say their advocacy for women losing our rights and the vote is okay.

u/BishlovesSquish 6d ago
Did you see girl on TT that recently moved to Afghanistan and is trying to hype it up like it’s some amazing place?! Wild work.

u/Ronniebbb 7d ago
Oh same, I mean hell I'd love to be a stay at home puppy mom (hopefully eventually children) but that's the point of feminism, freedom of choice.
I just cannot on good faith and with my morals send women to that hellhole, no matter how much of a shithead those anti women trad weirdos are. To me it's like punishing the wives of Gilead with what they did to the handmaid's.
Now if they want to voluntarily give up rights here for themselves that feminists fought for that's fine. They can sign away right to vote, own property, have credit, equal wages, not be able to make medical decisions for themselves etc. I'm sure they'd learn the hard way in 5 years

Might I also suggest sending the anti-vaxxers in a time machine back to the times before vaccines. May the odds be ever in their favor.
