can 2024 be the year we stop calling stay-at-home moms stupid for being ‘financially dependent’ and risking being trapped in abusive relationships, and instead start addressing why there are no social safety nets in place for people who choose to leave the workforce to raise their children
Embrace it ✨
Wanting a man to provide for you doesn’t mean you’re incapable. Of course you’re capable. But it’s nice to have someone help you and take of you. That doesn’t mean you can’t do those things yourself. That just means someone loves you enough to make your life that bit easier <3
A masculine man is different than an abusive man
The abusive men is the one that uses his strength and resources for his own benefit and in detriment of others well being.
The masculine man is the one that knows he’s capable of using his strength in a selfish way but chooses to use his potency to benefit others even if he has something to loose with it
For example the owner of a company could worry only about profits but chooses to be at service for people for a greater purpose
For example a husband that instead of demeaning his wife to make himself feel more powerful chooses to offer his best to her
A masculine man understand that he leads when he has the trust of others not when he subjugates and threatens them
One thing is having control, another is having respect
The abusive man rules through fear, the masculine man rules through admiration
We sometimes hear people saying that traditional gender roles breeds abusive men but this can’t be further from the truth. The truly abusive man is the one who’s aggressive and impose his presence through fear is not a true representation of the “patriarchy” - that is a violent and uncontrolled man that doesn’t even deserve the presence of a woman in his life. A man that is violent with his family should and deserves to be in jail
Our civilization got to where it is being conducted by strong and mature men that took care of their women and took their kids to the world so their offspring could expand. This is the true “patriarchy” and there is nothing wrong with it.
It’s just a man fulfilling his duty… providing, protecting and leading his family.
That is the masculine man, a man that acts according to his essence

Being a housewife is liberating for me, because my previous workplaces were extremely toxic, and I have never felt loved or completely safe as I do with my family 24/7, the family I chose to create and be with. ღ
What do you think is the biggest misconception of being a trad?
Oo this is a good question!
I think the biggest misconception is that we don’t have voices/opinions. I have tons of opinions and thoughts that I share with my husband and if he’s doing something I disagree with, I vocalize it, we talk about it, and then we move forward. Yes- my husband has final say most of the time, but he is always open to hearing me and coming to a decision together.
