Resisting Diversity


For John, BLUF:  The next step will be to define tradwives as fascists.  Inherently fascist.  Nothing to see here; just move along.




From The Old Gray Lady, by Ms Annie Kelly, 1 June 2018.♠

In this article Ms Kelly examines the "traditional wife" (tradwife), apparently an artifact of the right side of the political spectrum.

Ms Kelly sees this vision of the tradwife as including a traditional, 1950s, lifestyle, "all supported by a single income".  The funny thing is, I see a lot of Democratic Party writing that also talks about how it would be better if families could be supported on a single income.  Not upper middle class families, of course, but those in the lower economic strata.

Hat tip to the Althouse blog.
