Hi! I'm Shaniya but I use the moniker Shanspeare on TH-cam. I'm 24, use they/them pronouns, and love all things pop culture! My channel has a lot going on: think Shakespeare meets Baz Luhrmann meets insufferable jester in a relevant but silly costume. I have a bachelor's in English Professional Writing (and basically Literary Analysis--long story) which aids me in the creation of my content. Above all, I wish to emphasize teachability and critical engagement through a fun lens.

Rich white women in the early 1900s were the ones that had time to march around and protest and get your wine-shilling butt the right to vote! Don't forget that.
What was that nonsense about white women having" a higher chance of being hatecrimed by Jeffree Star" ? Does a crime not labelled a hate crime not count? Where TF did you get those statistics?
can you please tell us the name of the wine.. it looked like a rosé. I'm very curious about this wine.
Seriously, in this inflationary economy you need to be buying bulk rice, beans and oatmeal, canned meat and vegetables not some stupid booze. You don't need to be a traditional homemaker to know that!

The funniest part is that they are not even jobless. They are full time content creators who earn loads of money telling other women why they should leave the money making to their husbands. And did we notice the how they use their sexuality in these videos. I have no doubt that they have a huge male audience. Not very conservative or traditional of them.
Say it louder

Omg you’re so right. It’s basically sanctioned yt political porn propaganda for men 😅
You hit on the head! It’s funny to me when I see tradwives flaunting their stuff on their accounts and of course theirs so many men in the comments praising her. Like you said it’s rather funny after all shouldn’t the husband be the one making the money? Not every ladylike if you ask me
@@aubreejobizzarro1208yooo fr 😂
My mom is a wannabe trad wife. She fully believes men deserve to be in charge of everything and should have final say. Thing is, in all her relationships she ends up miserable with mean man-child partners who at best are lazy and entitled, and at worse are abusive to her. And every single time she finally has enough and leaves them, and then STILL doesn't see the fault in her way of seeing things and the type of men she's picking. It makes me so sad. And of course she thinks I'm the miserable one because I have zero desire for romance and sex, and don't ever want to get married or even date. I love living alone and being single, and it blows her mind. She's convinced I'm sad and lonely, when she's the one who is both of those things.
Your Mother, from within her cage: My poor child, you are so trapped.
You: >_>
No offence to your mom, but her projection and denial sounds intensely pathological.
Sounds very much like when religious people calling others "trapped" and affirm that they're "free", when THEY are the ones that forbid themselves from doing/watching actually fun stuff and only have, like, three topics to talk about.
Dang sounds like my sister
Guessing she was raised and still is devoutly religious. Probably Christian.
I idolised my mother who would've fit into this tradwife fad, wanted to be just like her. But I realised that it burnt her out entirely. She also wanted to pursue a career but couldn't with 5 kids and a husband who all relied on her.
I have nothing wrong with women who want to be stay at home mothers, but those who carefully curate content to make it look effortless and without cons are obviously lying to you to sell a fantasy.
I mean, that's just a good rule of thumb for everything in social media, isn't it? Like, you don't get clicks or sponsorships by showing how chaotic life can be, especially with multiple young children in the picture. You have to sell the fantasy to people who don't know why better, because everyone who does would immediately know exactly how full of shit you are.
You act like that isn't an influencers job. Every single one.
@@noname-gh1vrpeople want authenticity
@@noname-gh1vr I mean, I don't like influencers but at least most of them aren't claiming that women shouldn't have rights because the "trad life" is that great.
@chansfeet2500 that wasn't even the point of what was being said. Op said "but those who carefully curate content to make it look effortless and without cons are trying to sell you a fantasy." That is an influencers job. These people aren't trying to take away women's rights by being a sahm/sahw. If your position is threatened by a bunch of women making pies then it isn't that strong to begin with.
What's hilarious is that historically housewives have done unbelievable amounts of backbreaking labour. Even just laundry pre-washing machines was a grueling ordeal that took multiple days. This magical relaxed housewife fantasy is just that, a fantasy.
The "American Dream" delusion is only available to those who can afford it
i think its similar to the never ending tiktoks of women saying they wish they were born during the times where they could dance in ballgowns in palaces with their royal husbands but now "bc of bad feminism they have to work" etc. (i dont know if u have seen these tiktoks). they dont realize that back then they wouldnt be in this tax bracket. almost no one was. they would at best probably be maids in the houses of these rich folks getting treated like dirt and working until their backs break with almost no money from before the sun rises to late after the sun goes down. its delusional.
@@AnnaAnna-st2je
Omg yes!!! Look the idea is a nice fantasy who hasn’t pondered the idea of marrying into royalty. But as you mentioned it’s all fantasy in reality most of those same woman like you said would be at best maids! Or laundry ladies.
That plus, like, dying during the birth of your 10th kid (after 5 of the others had already died from diseases that are now vaccine preventable)
The magical relaxed housewife was a fantasy created in the 1950s by advertising in order to sell electric home appliances that could do the work faster than the old way of doing it by hand. They had to make it look like you would lead a relaxing life in order to get women and their husbands to buy the merchandise. The reality was that you were still busy 24-7, you just had machines now.
39:00 This hit hard. My grandma (rural VA woman married off at 13 to a 30yo man), used to clean houses and be a live-in housekeeper (in her childhood) and found the KKK outfit hidden in a closet of the lawyer she worked for. She told me this story in her 80s and still whispered like she was wary about said she flew out of that house and ran all the way back home. I was so confused because I thought being "white" protected her, but it's not true.
13?! 😢 Jesus Christ...
Your grandmother is a victim, I am so sorry.
That is scary as F
Being white didn’t necessarily protect you. ANYONE who dared challenge the status quo back then would get a visit from someone later, maybe a warning first. Might escalate to cross-burning on your lawn, but they were going to silence anyone who spoke out, no matter their color. Being White wasn’t protection.
What do you mean you thought being white would protect her? Everyone was scared of the Klan. They were scary people who did horrifying things to anyone who got in their way, regardless of race.
The only unproblematic tradwife is the mob guy from that househusband anime and i think he's killed people
Spy family?

@@chocomelo454nope, it’s called The Way of The Househusband.
He also ran a shop in one episode and was part of the Mafia
But it's worth mentioning, that he doesn't have children and many times in manga had a temporary job here and there
Funny how these influencers talk about how they love to homeschool their children, when there are a growing number of reports of how these kids are victims of abuse.
I doubt these ladies take the time
Yep! As a former homeschooled kid who experienced abuse at the hands of my over worked and stressed out mother, I can absolutely attest to how vulnerable children are in these types of situations. You have no resources and no outside adult voices to advocate for you, no safe spaces, it’s just a generally scary ass time. To every kid who’s being homeschooled by unhealthy parents: you’ll make it.
Was homeschooled and can confirm. I know countless others who were abused by their parents also. Other adults just enabled them or were fooled by their public façade.
Personally I want to homeschool my kids at an early age because I can't trust the awful education system and fear other kids hurting them
That's a feature for them. They "submit" to total dominion by their husband, and in turn they feel entitled to total dominion over their children. For people like that, the goal isn't to be liberated themselves, it's to have dominion over someone else.
Its bizarre that these people call the idealised version of my grandparents lives (which werent actually like that anyway) "traditional" when the parents of the baby boomers were living in a very historically distinctive time and considered the way they were living as HYPER MODERN. They saw their era as very much NOT TRADITIONAL, they were speeding towards modernity.
The whole idea of a nuclear family with a stay at home wife was a relatively recent invention. That's what makes this sideshow even dumber to me. I knew my great grandmother, who would've been born at the end of the 19th century. She never lived a life that these clowns chase, she neither did anyone she knew.
Exactly. And didn’t hippie culture start because Baby Boomers started rejecting the boxes that their parent’s lifestyles set for them? If even the Boomers didn’t want that life, why should we?
Right? My great aunt played piano at the White House in the Victorian era. There likely have always been what we refer to as "trad wives," but like now, not the majority. Women fought for the right to vote and have their own bank accounts.
Wow this is such a good point
@@GenericUsername1100 True.
I’m a traditional stay at home wife. This is my choice, it makes me happy, I enjoy cleaning it’s a stress reliever for me. That being said my husband still helps with his own house work. He takes care of the lawn, garbage, cat litter, recycling and anything I specifically ask for help with. He is an attentive father to our baby, and a kind, sweet man to me. Here is the real thing though, NO ONE should be forced into this role. It’s not for everyone, it’s stressful and it’s a lot. Every woman should make that decision for herself.
"Trad-wives" go beyond this.
As a man, I concur with that statement.
That video wasen't a critique about choosing to be a SAHM (I am too), it was about white supremacist having a very functional tradwife pipeline and it gets lverlooked how much a hand woman do have in racist and supremecist groups and how it CAN intersect with femenisem.
@@More13Feen I disagree with that, the mother being home with the children and taking care of the home is something that’s been in all human cultures for the most part. Hence the name “traditional” being in the name. These girls are really just cosplaying the pretty parts, it’s not even real. It’s a TikTok trend. Real life traditional sahm’s lives are nothing like that.
I don’t know why so many people keep saying this. Who the hell is forcing you to stay at home? Even that tik tok trad wife mentioned in one of her recent videos that her videos are only meant for women who are interested in being a trad wife. And that everyone is free to follow their own path in life. If being a trad wife isn’t for you then obviously those videos aren’t for you.
trad wives are so funny bc they’re like “let women go back to tending the home like they used to instead of working🥺💔” like women haven’t been in the workforce since forever. it’s only now that economic instability has gotten so bad it’s touching upper middle class white suburbia they’re like “what happened to living off of one income alone💔💔”
That's been a conversation forever, people just chose to ignore it.
Also domestic labor IS work! Unpaid, undervalued, work!
@@athenapromachos3027 It's a bot. It posts the same thing under multiple channels, so you can ignore it.

Physically flinched. I can think of few things more unappealing.
That's some fucked up shit, and I know a lot of kinks

I physically recoiled
As someone who simps for a trawler lantern, i wouldn't mind.
As eomeone who was was homeschooled on a farm: don't fucking do it ladies. Your work will NEVER end.
I can't hear you over the image of a bunch of giant bunnies, chickens, ducks, and a big garden. Lol I'm not trying to have whole cows and tractors...just an acre of land surrounded by woods, with a 30 minute drive in any direction to a town. I think that's probably a more realistic balance.
The book "They Were Her Property" by Stephanie Jones-Rogers is a beginner friendly, yet very in depth look at the role of white women as slave owners before and during the Civil War. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to learn more about white women's role in white supremacy. super light reading! /s
That’s a great recommendation. It’s an eye-opening read.
White supremacy isn't real. It's about class, not race.
@ville__ Everyone plz block this person, theyve commented on a bunch of different channels with this exact thing, its a troll if not a bot
just placed a hold in my library. thx for the rec
@ville__The bot’s gone wild again, huh?
Not to downplay the seriousness, but one thing this taught me is that if conservatives were more honest about their sexual kinks, we'd have less of them 😂
in all reality, so much of the radicalism of some of these people stems from being shamed for anything they enjoy, and it’s only worse if sexual desire is involved. they don’t get to enjoy anything, so no one else gets to either
Why don't you get back in the kitchOH GOD YES MOMMY DOMME ME
@@fihof7266 This is a good point... Tie that in with some of the twisted religious beliefs/ideas about what is & isn't a 'sin' (particularly around sex) causing massive guilt & all sorts of relationship hang-ups. They end up hating themselves & the resentment spreads through the family unit like poison.
I would agree, but I'm afraid the situation is sadder than that.
IF these alt-right yahoos lost their fear and demonization of sex, and say, joined their local BDSM venue, they'd *still* wind up harming people.
Because kink requires consent. Navigating kink requires a TON of communication, and negotiation. It requires respect... at LEAST in the beginning.
You have to see the other person as a human being.
But they see women as property, not as fellow humans, and so they would be incapable of navigating a kink relationship without completely ignoring their wife's well-being, wants, and needs.... and I can't even IMAGINE one of them administering effective, psychologically-sound aftercare!
Acting like this is a kink thing is extremely reductive
Taylor Swift: *breathes*
Candace Owens: and I took that personally
Funny thing about all those tradwive influencers on TH-cam is that the successful ones have pretty much all tripled down on their content creation since getting married and having their first child. You'd think they wouldn't have as much free time now that they have a husband and child to care for, but the more their channels grow the more content they push out... almost like they were prioritizing their TH-cam careers over their tradwife lives!! 😆
True
That's right. And as we all know, it's shameful for a woman to prioritise her own selfish ambitions over her home, her children, and most importantly, her husband. These ladies should stop wasting time on their silly little ventures and allow themselves to submit to their feminine roles. Their husbands will provide for them.

@@Candyrock15 💯
I recall a pastor telling MTG to shut up and go barefoot rather than go to Congress and talk for her uggasituents (I refuse to believe actual people vote for her) because despite her being on his side she was still a loud woman. It's too much for the pastor apparently 😂
Or it's because they don't work. Making videos isn't a job.
Trad wives have always been very Daughters of the Confederacy to me. I'd suppose there are a lot of overlap in those groups.
This!
Absolutely. That is the exact vibe they give. They seem like they really want to biasly rewrite textbooks.
@ville__☝️🤓
@ ville__ you and/or someone(s) with names really close to yours spam most of the YT videos I watch. That bot level of spamming makes me worry for you.
@@ChaosTheoriesLuxe yeah this person's been at it for 3 years across several channels, mainly targeting queer/trans creators
They used to derail comments with huge arguments but now whoever I see them it's just spam copy-paste stuff
@IgirlbossedTooCloseToTheSun Yea. I just always wondered if it was just one troll or a whole group of spammers. If that is one person, I am severaly worried. The dude needs to go and feel the grass beneath his feet.
at the ripe age of 16 my bf at the time was trying to push me into being a tradwife + he was racist but the gag is.. he himself was a minority 😐
Colonialism and its consequences
Wow 😳
Not surprising.
Sadly, I've seen a lot of those types in the Chinese community. Chinese culture is still deeply patriarchal, especially in rural areas. And older Chinese can be racist as hell, even towards other Chinese that are not as assimilated to American culture as they are.
Lemme guess… Mexican?
I can’t help thinking that this whole obsession with Submission is just then not admitting they are into kink and doing it in the worst way possible.
Honestly, I get those vibes too. They’re probably subs who are too ashamed to get into bdsm.
No, it's literally word for word stated in the bible.
True
Or maybe its the result of religious grooming telling them that being submissive to a man will keep them safe and protected from the outside world...Not everything is about sex...
i think its the extreme victim hoood woo is me mentality that drives them to be like that tbh

I went to the African American museum in DC. In one floor discusing slavery, one thing that struck me interesting (and very disturbing) was the whips on the display that were specifically made for white women to use.
The WHIPS were freaking gendered. Like that wasnt going to cause the same amount of damage onto enslaved bodies.
i never knew that! i guess it made the white women feel more effeminate and powerful while inflicting physical pain to another human being
Tf 😮I was supposed to go but they were out of tickets so we went to the other Smithsonian museum 😒 I'm glad I didn't go now I would've been pissed
How the fuck do you gender WHIPS???? 😭😭

I will never forget this tragedy. The cops took that monster to Burger King after he slaughtered those innocent black parishioners.😡
The Church shooting hit me in a way nothing else really has. I'm a white atheist that grew up in a Baptist Church. I will always have a little love for churches, the community, the love, the sense of safety. I can only imagine those things are even more important in a black church, some of the only safe places for many black people throughout our history. I cannot fathom how horrifying this was for black Americans. I'm so sorry that this kind of hate crime is still a real threat.
thank you for acknowledging this. I am a black agnostic, but spirtual woman and while I rejected the church I still have fond memories of my time in church and many of my family's most important functions/gatherings/events happen IN church. The reason the black community has clung to the church for so long is because it has historically been one of the few safe spaces for us to gather. Largely considered somewhat respectable enough to be off limits. It's so much more than a place of worship. It's a social club, a think tank, and a base of action. So for such a sacred space to be violated like that, is psychologically damaging and incredibly disheartening

"...black man has the chance to be a war criminal..." line made me laugh. Then a little bit sad. Well done.
I find it so ironic when some tradwives take on 50s vintage style as part of their aesthetic. They don't appear to realise (or wilfully ignore) that the modern vintage community, while not perfect by any means, is a proactive inclusive space filled with people of all races, gender identities and sexualities. In a way, it's a subculture which is the direct opposite of the conservative tradwife mindset. The hashtag #vintagestylenotvintagevalues exists for a reason. Thanks for this great video Shakespeare 💕
They have their space and you have yours.
As a member of the modern vintage community, *yes* preach the choir!
Yeah, the degenerates also stole the rainbow, a symbol of a divine covenant. We’re taking these things back again.
By essence, vintage is « trad ». It’s your spin on it but vintage clothing is still heavily associated with vintage values by default
If you want to dress up as Eugene Debs or Lenin, wouldn't you wear "Vintage" clothing too? Does that make Lenin a Trad Chad by default? 😄
2017 was such a fever dream, so many people were openly expressing their nazi views and then the charlottesville unite the right rally happened as a cherry on top. insane times to be growing up, i was just starting my freshman year of highschool with so many openly weird people
It was a wild time. I was going through an anti-feminist/anti-SJW phase in my freshman year of college, and the Unite the Right rally is what pulled me out of it. Since then, I've made a concerted effort to unlearn and unpack the internalized misogyny that I allowed myself to build up inside.
Modern women should embrace feminism…but also women shouldn’t close her eyes on world issues
We women give birth to civilization we must take part and be apart in a lot of political actions and leanings
Now with that being said ….
Women couldn’t have property, have an account, have an actual job without discrimination, have maternity leave …..because it wasn’t until the rise of feminism in 60’s and 70’s and no ur grandmother wasn’t happy back then
The rights you enjoy now as a women …women begged for !!!
Voting
Owning property
Working
Access to higher learning
Access to better job , conditions and rights ….
All were gotten by ur grandmother

@@Shineynsparkles facts
I thought I wanted a "tradwife" life. I kind of have one. I'm happily married, we get by on one income with some inherited wealth, we live in the country. I don't HAVE to work.
And it about put me in a psych ward. Becoming a mother didn't fill me with purpose and joy. I was miserable. It wasn't until I got back into art and started working with it and making it into a career that the misery lifted.
I am a SAHM, homeschool my child(ren), love to bake bread, Christian, pro vax, pro gay, pro choice, feminist who hopes to one day live on a farm and grow all our own (vegan) food. I have such a fear of being lumped into the tradwife group in peoples minds. But hopefully my tattoos & piercings balance out the long skirts and dresses that I wear for comfort. 😵💫

I've noticed in discussions of the alt-right and child rearing there's a sort of implied assumption that only the alt-right homeschool their kids and that homeschooling is always bad.
I just wanted to come out of the woodwork to say that i am a leftist who was homeschooled by leftists explicitly because my mom, who is a person of color, did not want me exposed to the extreme racism present in the US school system, especially in how history is taught. I went to public high school and am now in college, and while i certainly have issues with certain aspects of homeschooling, and recognize that it is only an option available to the middle and upper classes, its not Always Bad or Always Worse than public or private institutionalized schooling. And it's certainly not just done by the alt-right.
Also my mother is a very well educated woman who CHOSE homemaking because it is what she really wanted to do.
I have a friend who is lower class who homeschooled her five kids. Just wanted to say.

Your early points about the WKKK remind me of probably one of the most chilling realizations of my life. In my work, I've handled robes from the KKK. They were a man's robes obviously, but his name was hand-stitched inside them. We can pretty safely assume he didn't do that himself. A woman in his life did that. When we talk about the contributions of women in the labor force, we have to consider invisible labor, and I think that was the moment I understood on a visceral level just how integral women are to bolstering white supremacy and other systems of oppression.
Honestly, I feel like the concept of a “traditional wife” can’t help but carry patriarchal baggage and it’s important to acknowledge that in the way we approach relationships

I am a stay at home wife and if anyone is looking for a welcoming community of SAHs, there is the Reddit community r/homemaking. A little while ago, there was a discussion on the "Trad Wife" community and how many of us who don't fit into the rigid Trad Wife construct (be it the person is LGBTQ+, a person of color, or male) have found comfort and acceptance in r/homemaking.
This is actually very cool! Thank you for sharing!

bleh, reddit is toxic
It’s crazy how some women will look at the past when a lot of women were treated like objects, had no rights, and suffered greatly to get said rights be like “I want that life, why can’t we go back?”
It's more ...I saw my grandparents have a healthy traditional relationship...and my parents with my super feminist mom get super stressed and overloaded because all the same chores exist even if both partners are working full-time. I thought they were going to get divorced. I would rather do all the house chores than argue with my partner about it.

I got mad at the Candace Owens clip again😂 Platonic intimacy is so insanely valuable and beautiful!! Holding hands with my friends is the best feeling!! Snuggling with a guy friend without sexual tension makes my heart happy. She mad cuz she dont got friends, she got people around her and thats it.
Candace Owens is so toxic. Having friends is good actually
Candace Owens is wild. I feel bad for her a smidge that she doesn’t understand the value of platonic intimacy. Maybe if she hugged and held hands with her besties maybe she’d chill out a bit lol.
That clip took me by surprise. In some countries it is common for platonic friends to hold hands. I live in the US, and it makes me a little sad when people here call things weird that are normal in other places.
Please Lord make this end
They really need to open insane asylums back up.
You people are out of your gourds.
I'm generally a grumpy bastard. Not really, but that's how it can seem to people who just look at me or don't know me well. But even as a guy, there's something so disarming and physically (even existentially) relaxing when a cake friend just grabs your hand or wraps her arm around your elbow as you're walking somewhere. By body doesn't generally know what to do when all that official tension leaves, so it's always confusing for a second, but always loved and appreciated every moment after that. Even movie night cuddling without sexual tension can be amazing. My grumpy ass ain't even tense back up for a couple days, just because someone I enjoy that much wrapped herself around me so much there's no place for that tension to hide. Just curled up over a blanket watching a movie with someone I care about can change my mood for a couple of days, easy.
I think it's because I don't generally handle people being in my personal space well. With very few exceptions, most people just have no need to be that physically close to someone. But then you're with someone (in my case a woman, though I've still had wonderful cuddle times with lesbians so there's zero possible sexual tension) can just make the tension away. They both really can be such beautiful things.
Staying means nothing if leaving isn't an option. It definitely sounds like some early tradwives were victims themselves, stuck between hurting others or hurt themselves

We're not just talking about SAHMs though but tradwives specifically, and traditional husbands believe in providing for and protecting their wives. But you're definitely right to bring up financial planning. No matter what you choose on this particular topic, you should make sure you have a good savings as soon as possible.

In all ways going to work for 6-9 hours making my own $ is by far much easier than staying home and tending to 3 humans all damn day and night.

I don’t even think there was ever a time in US history when the “ideal American nuclear household” even existed. My grandfather (born in 1940) has 6 sisters and all of them worked their entire lives, and both my grandmothers (born in the 30’s and 40’s) worked their entire lives too
the concept of the whole "women stay in the domestic sphere while men work" was invented either before or during the civil war. before that literally everyone just worked in the fields
Everyone has to work. What kind of work do you mean?
@@OliverNorth9729I mean it ran the gambit two of them have college degrees so one was a judge, and the other one worked in an investment firm, but then there were a couple that became nuns, and so they were teachers at the local Christian school for a long time, one was the manager of a general store (from what I understand it was kind of like a 7/11 or something like that), and she was born in the 20’s so she also worked in the factories building cars when WW2 happened, one of them took over for their father as the head of a construction company, one worked for the department of education for a really long time, and one of them was a nurse at a hospital. But also like isn’t the point of the trad wife trend…that the woman isn’t working in a money earning capacity at all?
I'm a middle-aged suburbanite from the Upper Midwest and I can assure you that that the earner husband/stay-at-home wife was the norm in the midcentury middle class (it included the working class) when I was a child. My parents both worked and had a more progressive division of labor than their slightly older trad family peers, but I will say this: 90% of the wives had a great deal of power over household matters, to the point of having fairly equitable relationships with their breadwinner husbands.
my grandma desperately wanted to work. My POS grandfather wouldn't let her. She got a job as soon as he died.

While doing research for a college class I fell down a Stormfront rabbit hole in 2016. Stormfront is an older discord server for people who proudly identified as white supremacists, even though men were the majority of members they did have a “women of Stormfront” tab.
I lurked and while the women weren’t calling for violence as much as the men they were still horribly gross and racist. Most of the posts revolved around talking shit about the women of color who dated white men these ladies had a crush on.
The women also had the most hateful things to say about children. The men didn’t ever mention kids they seemed to forget they existed, but the women spent half their time in the discord insulting biracial children. Shit was horrifying and they’re passing those attitudes onto their kids.
Oh god not fucking stormfront
Stormfront is a bit funny for that, they were pariahs for a long time for being the first to have a women's only section.
Hammerskins, Iron March, the Chans, and even Something Awful which has "far wings" of both sides have ridiculed them as "Stormcucks," pussies, "kowtowing to feminism," " white power knights, " etc for almost a decade now. They've had artwork of their head honcho Don Black in bdsm sissy gear or girly skirts dropped all over the compound irl. Vanguard even sent the dude a gay sex doll of himself with a riding crop.
It's only since the scamdemic the others finally realised "hey, we kinda need women too!"
Ironically those other groups went too far in the other direction and latched onto a "colonialist mindset" where _now they don't mind mixing_ " *so long as you steal at least a 7 from the negroes* " so as to eventually dilute other races into nonexistence. Yeah, it's been a weird decade indeed in WN spaces. It's a coin clip whether a reddit sub about "hot black/Hispanic women" is run by a WN fetishist or actual black person 😅
As a "woman"* who was in that subculture (including a fair amount of time on Stormfront over the years), the women give a softer veneer but can absolutely be vicious. There's usually a division between "tradfems" and "valkyries" but both are dangerous in their own ways.
* I now identify as nonbinary but in those circles I was perceived as a woman, they aren't that big on trans people... (although there's a surprising number of Alt-Right trans people, mostly via 4chan, but they don't like nonbinary people either).
Stormfront was a white supremacist web site and was the very first non-academic or corporate web site, managed entirely by one private citizen, created around 1996. I was a founder at Netscape and I can remember when the entire WWW was about 100 web sites.
Racism, UFOs, conspiracies, and "New Age" type stuff were very popular topics for early web sites as they had essentially no mainstream media coverage. Most media was amateur magazines, or "zines". In the 1990s there were still a significant number (100s) of skinheads running around and they made up most of the white supremacist "movement", such as it was.
Stormfront (the web site) was around a long time, until about 2010, before they finally closed their doors. Unsurprisingly, they faced a lot of pressure from "woke" activists who would threaten hosting providers, doxx operators and participants, death threats against operators and participants, etc. After he had passed on the site to others they tracked down the founder and tried to burn his house down.
This reminds me of the time I was presenting in a grad school class and to remind a whie woman that they were allowed to own property in the form of slaves. She started to make teary eyed excuses, I continued my presentation while other white women were comforing her.

this is also so reminiscent of the handmaids tale. the society in the book was able to succeed partially because their wives made their movement accessible and appealing to the public. in the end, though, the wives ended up nearly as repressed as everyone else.
You’re right! The way Serena created her own oppressive situation was wild

Yet another new inductee of the HBomb to Shan pipeline here!😁
I’m a 25 yo African American (dad from Congo, mom from America who is black) and this video made me realize my mom is a outright tradewife. She refuses to work, she’s anti vax, she believes in building a wall, she doesn’t believe in government help or taxes, she’s blames women for being abused or r*ped bc of how they dress, she didn’t like Obama for many reasons but she never expressed her disdain for any other political leader, she homeschooled all 8 of my siblings and says she’s Christian but she now doesn’t believe she’s married to my dad and lives as a single women after 27 years of married… which is completely against the Bible. I’m scared af now
As I'm sure you are aware, there's a lot of conservativism in the Black community, especially African and Caribbean people. What might be somewhat surprising is how many non-white people are cozy with White Nationalists.
WN circles and Hotep circles in particular overlap online. Conflict is usually more in the vein of friendly rivalry or the same ideology from two perspectives. So from Hoteps to the Black Manosphere to Black Republicans to those who are rather anti-Black in spite of their own skin color, it's complicated.
is your dad from the DR? Is he Bantu?
People if African descent who lean right politically don't care about white supremacy. They only care about their position in it.
By adopting ws ideology of classism, misogyny, etc., they feel they are siding with the winning team. And, since they are on the winning team in their minds they will be above all those who are not, in spite of the inconvenient fact that they are the wrong color.
All the way in Africa 🙋🏾♀️... I saw this trend and immediately saw the white supremacist code due to that harking for a long gone past, that would definitely not work for Black People who have always been forced to work.
Trad wife means something different in different communities in Africa.
In Africa, women worked to produce food and trade. But there are clear cut roles.
"by placing the bars on your own cage you become the most prized ornament" I love that quote so much, I will definitely not be abe to stop thinking about it.

I have a hunch a lot of this “traditional wife” crap would fall apart as soon as they are requested to do laundry the traditional way-by hand with a tub and a grate, no washer or dryer. Double so when you take away disposable diapers and they have to wash cloth ones-by hand.
By this "logic" shouldn't feminists hand wash clothes and use cloth diapers because washing machines and disposable diapers were both invented by men? In fact, since virtually everything was invented by men, shouldn't feminists be living naked in the woods gathering berries?
Tradwives explicity honor and respect men for creating the comfortable world they now live in, it's bitter feminists that whine about it.
what im most concerned about is the lack of financial planning for the tradwives. like yeah they are in their mid 20s now and their partners think they are hot right now but what about when they are in their mid 40s, 50s? when they have given their everything for their families and now their partner gets bored of them, leaves them or even worse what about abuse? how are they going to get back on their feet? what about retirement? they have done decades of unpaid hard labour for their families with nothing to fall back on. but as soon as you remind them of this very possible problem you either get "my husband would never. i know how to chose a man" or the "your boss can fire you whenever he wants and you will be unemployed as well". Which regards to the first one: do you think these women willingly chose men who turned out to be abusers or leave them with nothing in the end? of course not. everyone thinks this will never happen to me but it does happen. regularly. enough so that our old grandmas and aunts have warned us about it. and to the second: finding employment after being fired with an up to date resume and constant work experience is a lot easier than finding employment after decades of nothing on your resume. its a shame but sadly its the reality that domestic work doesnt count in the workplace as experience unless youre a teacher or work in a daycare. and also if you have worked for decades you were most likely able to save and invest some money for hard times/ the future which trad wives dont have. if anything in their "perfectly planned out life" will go wrong they will be at the mercy of their husbands and the court system. And the husbands know this.
They would probably that that is the reason to have lots of children, so they can take care of their mother in turn. Which pretty much sucks. Who wants to be their parents' insurance policy instead of a beloved family member?
@@ttintagel ah thats an interesting way to look at it. that would truly be a shame if thats what these mothers think. using their (lets be honest) older daughters as caregivers for themselves in the case of their life not working out as planned.
And the court system is what they're counting on. They get to live with the comfort of the rights feminism gave them in court. Because if their husbands do leave them, they get that alimony.
thats still incredibly risky to rely on in my opinion. definitely not sth to base your future on. so much could go wrong @@GenerationNextNextNext
That's exactly my concern, too. A huge factor in escaping domestic abuse is if you are financially Independent. The abuser is counting on their victim being unable to survive without them.

Really glad I’ve found you. I haven’t been able to connect why women in my family and community were like this. Advocating for servitude. The abusive power they got from owning slaves must have been extremely intoxicating because I saw how much some of my friend’s mom enjoyed controlling their daughters. I have never thought about what these personality types would behave like in an ownership role. The idea of owning a human being is angering and repulsive to me. It’s a wonderful notion to a true believer Christian tradwife. They crave the same power imbalance in a relation ship that their husbands enjoy with them. Exploiters.

Every time I see a Trad Wife/RightWing Woman whining about feminism or enforcing a Trad Wife lifestyle, I remember that one scene in Vice (2018) where Amy Adams (Lynne Cheney) was leading antifeminism marches. I already know that Candace Owens clip is of her raging because Taylor Swift is 34, unmarried and is holding hands with her friend. She's so unserious.
The Triad Wife Influencers/Right Wing Women making content when they aren't doing it themselves. They make money off of telling other women not to make money. Every tiktok video, every fox news interview, every GRWM clip.
Taylor Swift is a billionaire all on her lonesome and Candace will never see that amount of success or admiration and she married a Lord...from England. She's getting desperate. The image if being a wife is more important to conservative fems even if it loses them money.
Very much reminds me of Phyllis Schaffley (spelling?) Founder of the John Birch Society, big influence on Ronald Reagan and inspiration for Serena Joy in The Handmaid's Tale. When Serena Joy is asked why she doesn't practice what she preaches about women staying home and being godly and subservient, she says she desperately wants to but must keep fighting, to free other women from the horror of equal rights and the expectations of having jobs outside the home that comes with those rights.
Offred muses: How furious she must be, now that she's been taken at her word.
It's the authoritarian way. One set of rules for the privileged, another for everyone else.
one thing i have had to come to terms with is that so many white women also have their husbands' bigoted views. like............. she wants to be with that man, he is a reflection of her.
Most ww only care about themselves. The sooner bw understand this, the better. They only tether themselves to us for numbers to compete with wm or so that they can exploit our issues to emotionally manipulate and brow beat their men into giving them what they want
As someone who is descended from a bunch of farm wives, the idea that women didn't used to work cracks me up. RICH women didn't used to work because there were OTHER WOMEN working for them.
working? or slaves? cause working involves payment. and personhood.
Honestly it's so concerning how we (as in the general public) have been romanticizing the tradwife/SAHM lifestyle. Obviously you should have the freedom to choose what you want to do in life, but I feel like we've done a 180 from that general stance into completely glossing over the flaws (for lack of a better term) of being a stay-at-home partner. Lately I've been seeing so much content completely ignoring those aspects and romanticizing total submission to your partners' whims. (And god forbid this happens but what if you have to leave the relationship one day, for whatever reason? Unfortunately we still live in a capitalist society, you should be able to have some sort of safety net/financial security to fall back on even if you don't have a career)
Maybe it's because I'm Indian and I've seen the effect being a stay-at-home wife can do to several women in my family, but I am always a bit...skeptical of these posts and people who push the trad wife rhetoric without acknowledging the mental/physical/financial harm it can put someone in
++++++++++ absolutely, being Desi definitely made me skeptical of the romanticization of SAH motherhood verrry quickly
Indian here. And absolutely agree. White women have a reality that is just too far removed from everyone else's.
Why focus on the negative?
@@halfmoon106 Focusing on only the positive part of a stance will mostly backfire. You need to find a balance, a middle ground where you’re comfortable with both the positive and at least a little of the negative.

I'm a Sneako fan, and this video taught me that my idol fell for the alt right rabbit hole. I should have seen it when he befriended Nick Fuentes and had a crush on alt right talking heads. I can believe I was a fool to believe this guy and his ideas. My mind is fuqed rn.. I have so much to learn. Thank you, Shan. I learned a lot from this video.
Watch Mark Dice, or Paul Joseph Watson, I also recommend most of Mark Dice books too, there's a lot of knowledge there that can't be said here on TH-cam.
@@dombam8490nah they are also nazis
Don't be fooled though, they hate the tradwives just as much as regular men, lol.
? Who’s they?
Radical/alt-right men @@MrTooEarnestOnline
I’ve had this idea for a while that in the last few years there has been a tendency of some people, usually way too online, who try to turn kink into ideology. How could something like “biblical submission” be anything else? Reminds of a quote I can’t find that said fascism is aesthetics raised to the level of politics
You want to know something? I’m a male but I would *NEVER* subjugate my wife to me when I’m married, let alone, make her the lone “homemaker” (especially because I’ve done household chores by myself before and it’s HARD for one person alone to do it)
In addition, you know how the side that wants all women to be tradwives (AKA the far-right) is so alarmist about Muslims supposedly “wanting Sharia Law in the USA”? Sharia Law is only the Middle Eastern version of that’s side’s agenda-In this case, in Sharia Law, it’s MANDATED that women are the delegated homemakers and subjugate to their husbands
Yes, for people so scared of Sharia Law, they are expert practioners of it!!
You get that friendship makes a loving relationship.
@@lindap.5120 *YES!!* If I were a girl and my man started to abuse me/use me/make me his free slave/etc., I'd OUT of that relationship at the 1st sign
You obviously don't know what you are talking about when it comes to Shari'a law.
I love your videos girl!! They are so theatrical and entertaining to watch, yet academic and intellectual. What more can a regular TH-cam viewer want?
You’re so talented shanspeare❤️❤️
Thank you ❤❤❤
They're getting a real shock at about 35 to 40 their esteemed hubby trades her in for a new model.
They aren’t going to try to sister wife it?
That’s generous..I give 26, at the most
Capitalism is fascism. As long as capitalism exists, minorities are going to be oppressed. I’m a trans man and I still wanted to be able to stay home and take care of my family. Watching this video made me realize that I don’t want to be a “stay at home father”, I want to continue to take down capitalism. Thank you for making this video and spreading this information, people really need to listen.
Oh yea . Vegans against capitalism ✨
So true. The socialist revolution will come
fwiw i dated a homemaker trans guy, that relationship style is out there if yr open abt the lifestyle you want!
Yes Oprah is so oppressed
Once I read "I'm a trans man" your argument became pointless, ma'am.
It’s clear how much effort you put into each and every video. Your passion for each topic really comes out during these videos. The way you use your clothes to supplement the story is so fun. Your video made me realize that I never really thought about the women of the kkk.
“Behind every successful man stands a woman” applies to men who are “”successful”” in their bigotry too
This is why I love your videos so much, you address topics eloquently but at the same time easily digestible. You add nuances to the topics and not only see it as black or white.
Thank you so much for addressing the intersectionality of these hate groups. I think we’ve been, for way too long ignoring or not paying nearly enough attention to the role ww play in this entire thing. I say this as a ww. It’s so important to understand that intersection of misogyny, racism, homophobia, transphobia, and so on.
why are racists not even watching the video?? 😭😭 go away dude. triggering yourswlf on purpose is bad for your heart. go take care of your man or kids.
Watch wrong with criticism
Sorry, calling your friend out doesn’t equal “racism.” Get over it.
Hate watching is what you can call it.
Way back when I was but a dumbass teenager, I got sucked in by the tradwife aesthetic. I had already been into cottagecore and baking on tumblr at the time, and had a very sexist and toxic family, so the algo pushed me towards that. I ended up then getting sucked into the anti sjw rabbit hole, and it wasn’t until I was watching Sargon defend race realists that I started having doubts. Once I became an adult and entered the workforce, I realized that that it was all fucking bullshit and I had idiotically wandered into this disgusting worldview (i “woke” up lmao). This kind of content is so fucking insidious, it took things im genuinely interested in, and combined w my background (white, poor, American) sucked me into the extreme right, when I was like 13-14. It’s disturbing, and the social media companies really need to take that into account when tweaking their algorithms, because what if I hadn’t gone straight from hs to a profession dominated by women? I probably would’ve ended up married at 19 to some violent racist and had 3 kids by the time I was 25. Gross.
I feel so much relief when I read experiences like yours.
really glad you managed to pull away from those spaces/ideologies. it's super difficult, they're designed to frighten you and pull you in. really good job 🎉
God forbid you have children when you're young and healthy.
@@rtechie That's not the point, doofus! Use bait when you're in the ocean
