Your influencers were never Trad

99.9% of people who claim to be trad are LARPing for social approval.

Trad = traditional western lifestyle, and somewhat flexible as to what traditions are included. At minimum, you need the following:

  • Masculine man, feminine woman.
  • Both dress modestly (even if its still stylish).
  • Be a virgin at marriage, married to a virgin.
  • Divorce is not an option (unless you are the King).
  • Husband leads, wife follows, and children are raised to competence.
  • Married to someone who looks like you.
  • Have more than a replacement-rate number of children.
  • The man works; the woman takes care of the house and children.
  • If the woman works, it is for a home-based business.
  • New trad, you go to church. In old trad, you have family worship at home.

I hit most of that list, but not everything, so I never say “Im trad”.

You know who is trad? The Amish and Mennonites. Maybe a few more small groups.

The rest are just fakes.
