Ladies please do not let some woman with a media empire, conservative influencer career and/or government appointments and **no kids** tell you that *you* need to be married, have lots of kids and not bother your silly little head with college.

If you want to sell that trad wife life to young girls you had better be living it. AT LEAST.
I would like to suggest the idea of deciding if you want kids with the other person who would be their parent (and maybe some fully reject-able advice from extended family who might be excited about that.) Consider your health, and your time. You have no "duty" to have kids (or get married or both)-- but, many of us will be very happy for you and help if you do.
That's my "influence"
@futurebird like the free birth influencer convincing women to give birth with *no medical assistance at all*, while herself never having had a free birth

This has been happening multiple times.
Please don't fall for it.
Also ignore if she has a nanny.
@futurebird Barbara LaHaye pioneered that life when Carter was running against Ford. (and it was fairly popular among a certain class between 1919 and 1929)

If a philosophy of life would sound worse coming out of the mouth of a man than a woman... maybe it's still terrible either way? Right?

@futurebird The LaHayes made millions testing that theory, and I tend to agree, it sounded better coming from her mouth, but she didn't seem to.

We can't assume that everyone already knows about this grift. I think when we do that's why it keeps coming back, like a zombie.

@futurebird one rule for you and another for the Epstein-billionaire class

@futurebird Surprise... not making babies, but berating the ladies...

https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2025/nov/22/free-birth-society-linked-to-babies-deaths-investigation@AoifeGreenhamIllustrations @futurebird iirc, she did then have a free birth and it ended in tragedy for the child (and presumably also medical trauma for her), but she went on to continue recording the next season of her freebirthing podcast anyway

And if it is a woman with kids and a husband who says it, ignore her too.

Husband nanny.
@futurebird @APBBlue For the husbands with childish expectations.

@futurebird Even if they do have 14 kids, supposedly, don't fall for it.

@futurebird Trad wives came up in conversation with my (late teens) kids. Without getting into my opinions on "trad wife" and all it implies and assumes, I explained that the folks who want trad wives to exist should also rally for at least:
- trad taxes (higher taxes on the rich and corps),
- trad wages (at least minimum wage in line with inflation, but realistically more than that),
- trad healthcare (actually affordable but I'd also argue for universal), and
- trad housing (affordable, and likely near your family or some other support structure)For a person to stay at home, cooking, cleaning, and raising a few kids, then you need help from society to make that happen. Selling young folks on a trad setup with our current setup is just going to lead to more resentment and anger when they can't make it work.
So, tax the rich and companies, pay people more, and take care of them. If you want trad wives without the rest then I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you're just in it for the misogyny.
