Welp, you’re not wrong! Probably about time for me to accept my anarcho-nihilist moment at this point? Time to walk into the forest never to return?(non-trad-wife-version?) The nature-spirit-gays have GOTTA have better vibes to offer than this🤣
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes -- we need to look at Ballerina Farm as Hameau de la Reine instead of assuming she's some kind of political prisoner there. Sure, she made a sacrifice, but it's a theoretical sacrifice in the name of very real material comfort. Not everyone wants to live on Hard Mode and many are willing to commit incredible sin against the collective to get it, that's why capitalism is here in the first place.
Yeah..... yeah. Jax Preyer wrote a piece here on substack titled "The Imagined Victimhood of Conservative Women" that I think really hit the nail on the head. Defense of Hannah Neeleman annoys me not just because I disagree with the politics of rich people invested only in their own comfort, but because it seems that everyone who is aware of the patriarchal pressures on Neeleman and other tradwives are also so insistent on treating them like they are children who have no idea what their own values are, or what sacrifices they must make no matter what kind of path they choose. It's infantilizing/disrespectful in a way that feminism is supposed to *not* indulge in, imho. I really can't blame her or anyone who choose some version of a path of least resistance, there are many pragmatic reasons to go there and it's legal (if not exactly saintlike) to prioritize getting your own needs met. I just wish that, if sacrifice and strife are inevitable, we would all find it in our hearts to put a little effort into sacrificing for the collective sometimes, too-- especially those who have fuck-you money and could actually do something meaningful with it if they felt like it.
Dang— the part about “making-escape-not-just-possible-but-easy” got me.😭😭😭💚💚💚 Boy howdy, if ever a priority shift/reality check was needed, it is now.
Dare to dream!! But good luck getting it past congress 😭
