Blac Chyna, TradWives Give Hope for the Future
The left is losing. They’ve hit peak insanity and the backlash has begun.
Have you heard? There’s a new “trend” underway—young women posting videos in social media talking about their choice to opt for a more “traditional” domestic role as housewives—caring for the children and maintaining a household. Given how absurd our society has become, and how poisoned the minds of young people are from their endless exposure to leftism, I suppose it is reasonable to call this a trend. But at the same time, it also seems somewhat silly. Staying home to raise the children and maintain the home is actually pretty normal.
It also has to be done. Kids have to be be cared for. Food has to be cooked and dishes have to be washed. I do not believe that this role must be assigned to women any more than being a breadwinner must be exclusively the man’s job. But if that is how people want to live, it certainly isn’t abnormal. Nor is it abnormal if serving those roles actually makes them happy. Predictably, the left is freaking out over the trend—a fact that Matt Walsh effectively and musingly eviscerates in the video below.
The tradwife trend is like a green shoot springing from a fire-charred landscape. It is the kind of thing that gives one hope. Politically, I am a libertarian on such matters. If you want to work at a job, do it. If you want to stay at home, raise the kids, and make sure that laundry is done, do it. Both types of role are essential, and people are free to choose, and mix-and-match, as they wish.
The tradwife trend is hopeful not because I want to see all women barefoot and pregnant (though I know that nearly every lefty has the invincible belief that every conservative feels that way). Rather, it is hopeful because it shows that some young people are overcoming the left’s poisonous, life-hating, women-hating propaganda and choosing for themselves. They are choosing something natural. Something that makes them happy.
The fact that lefties hear that word “natural” and instantly assume I mean that women “belong” in such a role and ought to be coerced into filling it is, frankly, their problem. It’s natural to want to raise children. It’s natural to want to nurture. It’s part of the beautiful fabric of organic human reality. It brings joy. It’s not conservatives who are limiting women—it’s lefties, by insisting that such a life is inauthentic and oppressive…when in fact it is normal and good and perfectly reasonable choice. Instead of just letting these tradwives explore the possibility that such a life is good for them, the left attacks them as enemies or brainwashed dupes. How sad.
The left is losing. They’ve hit peak insanity and the backlash has begun. Unless they can coopt other people’s children into believing their lies, they are finished, because they are not having enough children of their own and, without ongoing indoctrination, will disappear in a few generations. How happy for the rest of us, who just want to live lives free from the left’s constant hectoring.
Another happy sign is Blac Chyna’s recent transformation, summed up in this Daily Mail headline:
Blac Chyna reveals she quit 'degrading' OnlyFans career and reversed plastic surgery because 'God wouldn't want me doing it' - as born-again Christian lays bare how finding religion made her shed X-rated image
Again, politically, I am libertarian on the subject. If you want to make your money on Only Fans, get weird plastic surgery, and develop a hypersexualized public persona, you are free to do so. But it does not make any of those things good.
Blac Chyna has tons of fans and commands a lot of attention. Some of those fans will see this and realize that they can do better too. Things will improve in the world because of the example that Blac Chyna—who is now going by her given name Angela White—has set.
The left has been stuck in the same mindset since the French Revolution in 1789: that the Ancien Régime is oppressing them and all things that are “traditional” are therefore bad. It’s like the delirium dreams you have when you are fighting a high fever—a maddening repetitive loop that you just cannot seem to escape. Unfortunately, the left constantly drags the rest of us into their delirium.
They need to be mocked for their delusions, not argued with as if they are reasonable.
I see. And is Louis XVI in the room with us now?

Tellingly, I believe both came from the left, but have changed their views in a number of key areas.
