Eh. Doubt.
If you’re a woman and a Republican, awareness is not a trait you possess.
they knew, its literally just the"only moral abortion is my abortion" shtick. same goes for LGBTQ+ poc trump supporters.
Sucks to be a piece of shit. Maybe they can improve… not holding my breath. Let them rot.
Evangelicals openly claim that women are chattel.
It’s central to their beliefs. Fact!
“Republican Women Suddenly Realize…”
No, they didn’t. To be a Republican is to abandon realization entirely.
To be a Republican is to abandon realization entirely.
… until it affects them personally, of course
If feel like more of them just realizing that they won’t be the exception to the rule and only really care now that it’s obvious they’ll get the shit end of the stick just like everyone else.
For a great many MAGAs it is and always was about weaponizing a social and political movement to hurt people they don’t like and now that it’s hurting them, we’re seeing clearly that their principles never aligned with what they espoused. It’s always hypocrisy with them, they aren’t willing to be tradwives and follow the ideals they claim to support, but they’re happy to use the idea to attack feminism.
If they wind up being forced out of politics, I have no sympathy for them. It was so very apparent, going all the way back to the beginning of Gamergate, that this was the trajectory of the movement.
This is actually all part of their delusion. Maga genuinely think that they are exceptional people and therefore exceptions will be made for them…
This is why they are always so shocked when the leopards eat their faces, they are supposed to be one of the good ones.
I saw a post yesterday from some SAHM with two young kids, who’s influencer channel is apparently filled with tradwife shit about supporting your husband in all his works, etc. And she’s crying because her husband wants a divorce, has cut off her credit cards, she doesn’t have any money of her own, doesn’t have any credit of her own, she hasn’t worked in 15 years and has no idea how she’s going to support herself.
Awwww, love that for her!
sounds like she managed to complete her tradwife wish. congrats to her
SAHM?
Stay At Home Mom
Thanks 🤜🏼🔥🤛🏽
Any time, compadre.
You should post a link to community. I’d love to see it.
You can post it if you want. Sorry for the reddit link. The copy I saw was on imgur but search just brought up the reddit one.
She shouldn’t worry. She’ll get half, and alimony, and child support.
In my experience the tears are most likely aimed at prepping her followers for her GoFundMe requests.The court will order those things to be paid. Her actually getting the money is an entirely different matter.
That depends where she is. Alimony is rare in Texas, for example. She might get a small amount of spousal support for a few years, but she’s going to need to start a career soon.
she better start working, her being influencer meaning she had the means to have nannies, and pretend like she is not financially well off, she just realize her meal ticket(her tradwife influencer lifestyle) is about to come to an end. this is what the people on that reddit said, these people are well off, is just that she came to realize she isnt going to be able to grift anymore.
If you think that’s not a reason to worry, you haven’t tried to live on a fraction of a salary. You think costs are linear?
Cohabitation saves a lot of money. Divorce breaks that.
No I haven’t tried to live on a fraction of a salary [edit: actually I was a waiter and bartender for years so technically I did live on a fraction of a salary :)…]. But she tried to live on zero salary doing the trad wife method. Did you miss the point of ops post?
So she shouldn’t worry because… she deserves it for choosing a lifestyle?
Oh right, I forgot the rule. People who make choices we don’t agree with should have their children suffer. That keeps slipping my mind.
I don’t agree with the idea that a couple should strictly split responsibilities and not be able to survive without each other, especially along antiquated gender lines. But I’m still going to have empathy for a broken home with children.
You’re not here for the, leopards ate my face, part of this are you?
I leave it to the leopards :-)
I don’t join in snacking on the corpse.
So you’re saying living on half of one salary is functional these days? Most folks I know can’t survive on two full salaries.
How much is one salary, to you?
Median income for my Canadian province is $91,000 per year. So living on $45,500 per year Canadian which would be about $1000 dollars less than the statistics from the employment and social development Canada website below for 3 persons (I’m including the two kids)
I live in on of the richest Canadian provinces and you still probably couldn’t pull it off.
I’m pulling my median salary from here.
any other questions?
Yeah one question. I said I was a bartender and waiter. I made about 20 maybe 30 grand gross probably a year with tips. It was a while ago, granted, but the cost of everything increased quite disproportionately to wages since then anyway and you seem like you’re trying real hard to prove something.
So my questions is, what the fuck are you on about?Were you raising kids? You’re making this super passive aggressive comment about the wife getting alimony and shit in a relationship where she’s the main caregiver for the kids. The whole thing comes across as super sexist. So what I’m “on about” is not only is your comment super sour and sad sounding, its also way out of whack with economic realities on the ground. So what are YOU on about is what I’m trying to figure out?
Why does it come across as sexist? Which part is untrue? Tell me about the “economic realities on the ground”, and the experience you’ve had that makes you an expert in this field.
Shut up and get back in the house, Honey. Don’t you know being a tradwife is Patriotic?
kitchen, pregnant and barefoot.
What went wrong if the republican tradwife is standing at the living room window?
The chain is too long.
“I didn’t think I would have to put the penis in MY mouth.”
There’s probably not a whole lot of outage because this has been a pretty prominent feature of GOP thought since, if we are being nice, 2016 and if we’re being honest, pretty much always. They didn’t really hide or change anything.
Oh definitely always. Most of the “women” referred to here learned it from their parents who learned it from their parents etc. and so on.
And probably all of them have a “crazy” aunt who ran off to California with some guy and they haven’t talked to her in years.
Nothing new under the sun. These women will either not learn anything or will not do anything differently. Except for the ~10% who do. And those will be fought over by the various factions of the left to ensure the omnipotence of the republiQan fascist agenda remains firmly in place.
Shock.
Anyway, the article only specifically mentions MTG and Mace as feeling like they aren’t taken seriously. I think it’d be stranger if they both were taken seriously since they’re fucking clowns.
Good point. It’s not that they’re women, it’s that they’re unhinged women. Although considering there are no women in leadership roles even at the committee level, it’s definitely misogyny. Mace and MTG are the only ones who seem upset by it. At least publicly
I’m pretty sure it’s because Republicans are distracting Republican women from the party’s misogyny by being extremely cruel to transgender and non-binary people.
ETA: Just take President LBJ’s quote, replace white man for woman and colored man for any LGBTQ+ person, and you’ll get the idea.
maybe someday the nyt will realized they’ve been a big part of putting those misogynists in power.
We can only hope
Only because they’re misogynists who aren’t working fast enough to implement their preferred flavor of fascism. These “women” have no interest in democracy.
They thought the deal was “your career will be great if you help us wreck things for all the other women” and are now realizing the deal was actually “your career will be great (for a woman) if you help us wreck things for all the other women.”
It’s more than people who strive to be “one of the good ones” deserve.
They expected praise and accolades to be heaped upon them just for existing, chasing that warm fuzzy feeling they got as little girls when the pastor rubbed them juuuust right

Far be it from me to defend Republicans of either sex, but this line says nothing at all about Republican women and a great deal about you. Shame this was not readily apparent to you when you thought highly enough of it to write it.
Sorry, I have a lot of sexual abuse in my past and humor is how I deal with it.
It’s unfair to blame childhood trauma. Lots of sexual assault victims don’t grow up to be republican ghouls.
No, but these ones did.
Trump won the popular vote in 2024 due to large enough numbers of independent, politically-disengaged voters voting for economic change and forgetting just how racist and misogynistic the Republican Party is. This administration seems hell-bent on reminding them.
Another example is the huge swing Latinos made toward Trump last year, and, according to polling, they’re already noping the fuck out.
I just loooove how this economic change is going /s
