Because of this, I had to look inward to decide what being a woman means to me, and I realised that I don&#8217;t want to make decisions anymore! I needed to return to the way of life that our ancestors lived and become a Trad Wife. I now know exactly what I was put on this Earth to do: submit to my husband. Nowhere do I feel as fulfilled and useful as when I am wearing a grey floor-length dress and apron while I make TikToks about how liberal women don\u2019t love their husbands. <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I start every morning by drinking coffee, making breakfast, and going on TikTok live to tell my followers that women who don\u2019t obey their husbands\u2019 every command are going to Hell. I have quite the following and have been able to convert many women to the Trad Wife lifestyle! Some people have told me that I\u2019m \u201cdamaging society\u201d and \u201cinsane\u201d but I don\u2019t let the hate get to me. I understand that some people are simply on a path to eternal suffering in the fiery depths of Hell and I am unable to stop their sinning. I\u2019ll wave at them as they go. <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There is true freedom in homeschooling my children Maverick and Ashleigh (I recently renamed them to fit my new aesthetic) and teaching them about the Amazon Prime-edition Bible. I get to choose their educational needs instead of letting the woke liberal agenda teach them about science and sodomy (god, I miss sodomy). Little Mavy just learned how to assemble a shotgun!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Barbie Movie never mentioned how fulfilling life could be from simply making three meals a day for my husband and children, doing his laundry, burping him after he eats, raising the toilet seat for him, and looking out my windows because I\u2019m not allowed outside! <\/span><strong>Previously, issues of inequality and sexism stressed me out, but now that my husband does the thinking for me, I\u2019ve never been happier! <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My marriage has been perfect ever since I realised that, as the man of the house, my husband is closer to God than I am; disrespecting him would be disrespecting God.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I\u2019ve never been more relaxed and sure of myself in my life! I feel connected to my ancestors and I know I am doing right by them and by God. Oops, I just heard my husband get home! Don\u2019t tell him about this, I\u2019m not allowed to write anymore.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that the Barbie movie has left theatres, I feel my place in society as a woman is called into question.
