It's the Botkin girls just with MAGA esthetics and probably Right-wing dark money. It's two fairly attractive but failed actresses who found a cash grab like all C-listers who are milking whatever careers they have left by turning to conservatism. What is interesting is the razor thin line they are taking between being "pin up" MAGA "beauties" and Kari Lake/Caroline Leavitt/Kate Britt "tradwife" esthetic. Like every other facade around MAGA it's only a matter of time before the mask slips and the gravy train runs out.
The Botkin sisters are interesting because they are still single and living at home with their parents. They never found men who quite lived up to the expectations they had as Geoffrey Botkin’s daughters. Like most patriarchal fathers, Geoffrey has managed to make everything about himself.
Apparently Elizabeth married in 2022. She's married to a guy who works for a theonomist, like hard core OT law Patriarchy guy. Anna isn't married but she does work outside the home as a realtor now. It's interesting that 2022 is the last time either of them posted anything online and they have no online presence now.
No woman should only be as safe as her husband is good, nor only as loved as she is young/beautiful.
I find it interesting how quickly “good” husbands can turn into abusers/addicts once their wives are financially dependent and children enter the picture, in religious/sociopolitical cultures like these.
I also find it interesting how “choose better” and “focus on meeting his needs better” are still considered helpful advice, given how often the above scenario plays itself out.
Young women are encouraged to ignore older women unless those older women stick to Titus 2, and this is intentional. As a Christian, I embrace Titus 2 along with all Scripture, but there is more to the sad reality and scary circumstances women find themselves experiencing.
Lately, on the campus I work at, I've been seeing posters for "Bible Study" and "Ask a Christian" Events. I'm wondering if podcasts like this are becoming popular with the students. I don't recall seeing such things on campus before. p.s. I'm thrilled you are going to be on Marion's podcast. I'm an avid listener. I took her Master Memoir class.
I find this whole thing unbelievably chilling. I like how Sara (below) put it: "No woman should only be as safe as her husband is good, nor only as loved as she is young/beautiful." Selling being "controlled" (led) by a "righteous" man seems a set-up for a lifetime of control and abuse.
I am working on my conversion to de conversion Story for season one on my YouTube channel. The thing that struck me has I was reading this was how this trad wife movement is absolutely nothing new of course. I came to be a Christian at 19 back at 1996 and it was all the rage back then. We just called it purity culture, traditional roles and I kiss dating goodbye.
Also, Tia, I will mention you in this video as the only voice I’ve really heard from the Christian world sharing the story that needs to be shared. Why are so many of us not sharing our stories? I mean I get it but I also don’t get it. I have already tried to film this once and I felt like I was floundering, trying to keep it about my story and not possibly opening myself up to any legal actions by certain people. Plus trying to get all of the details into 1- 30 or 40 minute video of a lifetime of abuse by not just the church but the patriarchal culture we live in which groomed me to step into the church at 18/19. AnyWho, not sure how you got this together for your book but just wanted to applaud you for that because it’s no easy task.
I am thankful I didn’t encounter this growing up. My dad and mom wanted all of us to have degrees to take care of ourselves. My dad said that women should be able to earn decent livings and that they should not expect a man to take care of them. What the trad wife and Christian Nationalism promoters don’t tell you what to do if your supposedly Christian caretaker husband becomes abusive or self-centered to the point where the husband views his family as property. I read Tia’s story, and it is an important story for all women to read, especially people attracted to the trad wife and Christian Nationalist lifestyles.

That, or they’ll turn 35 (at most) and be replaced quickly, as all flimsy tools need to be.

Must be one of those people who followed R.J. Rushdoony and his son in law Gary North. Theonomy is even worse than Christian Nationalism.

Aren't they both single and in their 30's?
