Bucalupo: Traditionalism gets a bad rap in today’s day and age. It is frequently misrepresented by influencers, the media, and Hollywood. Many adolescents, especially young women, have come to detest traditional gender roles, the nuclear family, and even just healthy relationships.
Feminism has taught women to loathe the beauty of natural femininity. They have replaced it with vulgar language and imagery, defiance of biological predispositions, and hyper sexualized culture.
The feminist message: support women unless they are attractive, happy, and practitioners of traditional gender roles. Feminism is not a movement of independent women. It is a movement on women who depend on feminism and all its abhorrence. When one strays from the feminist ideals of uncleanliness, vulgarity, and hatred; they are viewed as a threat. more here
What does Honking my Wife’s cans count as?
Treating men as toxic second class citizens really poisons male/female relationships.
Kcir – have you asked her?
I worked at a job for about 15 yrs which I really loved and it was the sort of work traditionally held by men. I got married and kept working even after our son was born but I knew after a while I wanted nothing more than to take care of my family and quit the job. We downsized and made it work, I homeschooled our son K-12 and have experiences and memories I will cherish until I die.
When we first moved to our neighborhood we were invited to a Christmas party a neighbor was having. One of the guests came up and introduced herself then wanting to categorize me, immediately and snottily asked, “What do you do?”. I told her with a smile that I was a “housewife and mother” to test her reaction. She answered, “Oh.”, with palpable disdain and walked away. 😂 She is a miserable beotch.
I found other homeschool families and we had a really fulfilling experience. I am grateful to my husband for being a reliable, hardworking man which enabled us to do that!
At least it’s getting easier to spot a good woman these days…
Too late for me. 🤬
There is a lot to be said about respecting women (and little girls for that matter). I think of the old “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” from Gigi and Maurice Chevalier. Today’s culture would probably cringe at that, but it is all about appreciation for girls and the women they will grow up to be… and there is nothing wrong with that.
@Truckbuddy, you never know! They are out there searching for decent men, too, you know!
Heads they win. Tails you lose. Pick a side. And argue, away.
Eligible dating age men have about had it with women nowadays, hence the MGTOW movement. They are tired of being treated like dirt, being called rapists and oppressors, being blamed for all of women’s shortcomings and failures, and not being respected.
And the problem magnifies because the guys that are still willing to put themselves out there and date see the disgusted guttural behavior of a lot of women and they in turn become the worst version of themselves, cynical, narcissistic, and callous. And the cycle perpetuates.
My theory, all woman, 99.999%, of women, want to be treated as a woman. I base this theory after countless interactions with women in the gym that when you first meet them have that hardened exterior of an independent feminist, After you talk with them, break the ice, start laughing and joking, they’re more like your classic 50’s housewife than what they project.
Men were doing all right until Alan Alda and Phil Donahue showed up with their “New Age Sensistive Guy” act.
And we can’t whitewash some of the things women put up with while being Tradwives (or young(er) women in many male-dominated professions). With men as the sole breadwinners, most women were considered 2nd class in their own homes; the husband often made the majority of decisions on where disposable income was spent, and if his wife and family benefited by those decisions it was just a happy coincidence. If men had a love of alcohol, gambling or pretty girls, a wife was usually stuck in a loveless marriage for “the sake of the children”; having no ability to earn enough to support a divorced family. I was sadly aware of this situation as it played out, over and over again, among many of my peers in 6th grade, including my own family. Instant poverty while “dad” is wooing his next wife (and maybe her kids).
Wow, this is a complex subject, made more so by today’s economics. It’s just not as simple as it used to be for women to stay home full time to raise children. I consider myself to be incredibly blessed because I worked from home most of the time my child was growing up; able to take summers off and be available to her just about anytime she needed me. Supper was on the table every night at 6:30p.
I love the Bible’s description of a good wife:
Epilogue: The Wife of Noble Character (Proverbs 31:10, NIV)
10
[b]A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
11
Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
12
She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13
She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
14
She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
15
She gets up while it is still night;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her female servants.
16
She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17
She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
18
She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
19
In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20
She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
21
When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22
She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23
Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24
She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25
She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26
She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27
She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28
Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29
“Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”
30
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
31
Honor her for all that her hands have done,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
Brad — haha! Well, just about any sane woman is going to act like a poodle-skirted, sweater set, ’50s girl around you! They sure as heck wouldn’t throw down on an arm wrestling contest! Maybe it’s something about being a man, all man, and nothing but a man. Ya think?! You’re too funny.

Back tracking, before stepping forward: Yes, self-identifying “MGTOW” are whiny little girls.
Onward: Men going their own way (sans club patch) are not emoting little cartoon ponies. They, like most testosterone poisoned humans, can do basic math. And no matter how mentally… trad… err… challenged… you are… there comes the time, when you realize, even if you don’t read the language the table rules are written in… even if you don’t know what the squiggles on the money(? it is? money? isn’t it?) mean… you catch on that, if you stay at the table, you’re going to lose. Everything. Always.
Yes, the traditional worshipers of Muh Dik, have no choice. Their god compels them.
Everybody else, just walks away.

“He” was not alright, until the maggot fell from his nose.
Well thanks AA. I think what you and Rich are saying cuts both ways. Nobody wanted it or likes it. CNN demands it.
@AbigailAdams March 29, 2022 at 6:24 pm
Different issue…
> Wow, this is a complex subject
No, it’s not. It never was.
> made more so by today’s economics
Made exclusively by some form of “economics”.
But that, also, was neither complicated, nor anything but inevitable.
Mafs ain’t hard.
In 1995, Christina Hoff Summers wrote an excellent book on this topic: Who Stole Feminism. She took on the man-haters and explained why this isn’t really what feminism is (in her opinion).
If you think you need to act like something you are not to attract another person, and intend to show your true self after getting in tight, is a con person. I won’t say con artist, because this is the lowest level of a con.
Ladies NEVER be a feminist you will only end up fat, angry, and alone.

> Ladies NEVER be a feminist you will only end up fat, angry, and alone.
That is the “I want abortion to be unthinkable. But always available.” “argument”.
I had a lot of housewife years and tons of time with my kids.
What else is there when you have little ones unless you HAVE to work for whatever reason. And I got a 4-yr college diploma. I would have done better I’m not sure how, what more could I want except maybe a regular pension now but that takes many years of dedication to an outside career. At least I had quite a few jobs now and then, a couple 5 yrs. each.
I suppose “mafs” would be hard for a moron such as you. How old are you, anyway? You come off as about 15. Is this what you do when you are supposed to be cleaning your room?
fnuck, son of fnord you are incorrect it means exactly what I said- feminist woman end up fat, angry, and alone NOT what you say it means.
But thank you for sharing what it means to you. Don’t be such a nutter
I would like to say that I gave up the dating scene because there were too many feminists who were calling men rapists and oppressors and generally treating males like dirt, but in reality it was because my wife would have been pissed.
“It’s okay to look. But don’t touch!”
I used to hear that when I was married. But is it really okay to look? (Like Jimmy Carter lusting in his heart because he was married to a dry prune?)
Another one from my parents generation is, “All is fair in love and war!” (ignoring the war part for this discussion). But is it really?
In the end, it’s what men and women think of each other that counts. And by that time, it’s too late to do anything about it. 🙂

While we draw breath, it is never too late.
Hey Wyatt, I lol’d. More like a guffaw.
“but in reality it was because my wife would have been pissed.”
Wives are tricky. The other day the wife asked me what I wanted for dinner. When I told her she said I was wrong.
The evil is strong in that one.
Conservative Cowgirl
Mine found ME. I’m one of those guys who has so much going on ya have to hit me in the head with a brick to get my attention, that happened and I have no regrets other than it took a long time.
Hey Fnuckin Fnord, how much are they paying you to play the progressive “you don’t get It” bullshit? We’ll run you outta here eventually, because you don’t get “It” either. 🤣
YAWN….
fnuck, son of fnord
You are a “nutter”.
My claim of exceptionalism?!?!?! What are you talking about you nutter? You need to reread all postings here.
It is you, pretending to know it all, commenting on everyone else’s comments.
Hopefully sooner than later, you & your diseased parasitic mind will move on to another site to find the confrontation & fill that void & neee for attention in your empty life
