Have you seen the BBC documentary called Stacey stays over. The presenter, Stacy Dooley stays with various unusual people and one episode is a trad wife. I have to say I was happy that the couple were Americans who had moved to the UK, rather than a home grown trad wife. They even said the Vicar in the church didn't agree. It's easy to watch on youtube

Oh my goodness, I thought the first blond influencer was a parody. What is sad is once women are deep into this paradigm and they are unhappy is that they blame themselves, not the overly restricted lifestyle that obliterates their sense of self.

When I watched the Iowa 2024 Caucus, and saw the interviews of the happy Fundamentalists, I was saddened. I worried about the brain washing in the families behind closed doors. I was also saddened since what I saw was a very different Iowa than what I grew up in, in the 1950s and 1960s.

And yes, we need to seriously take this Fundi part of our country very seriously, since they feel the whole nation should be under this very rigid belief structure
