Tradwives Are Feminists, Too

Posted on by Lone Candle

“The critiques aren’t totally wrong: Tradwives are sometimes performative, a made-for-social-media phenomenon that can look a little ridiculous. The most successful ones are the most extreme, curated, and out of touch. The more modest ones, who traffic in budgeting tips and great recipes, garner smaller followings and less fame.
But this cultural movement warrants celebration, not contempt. Tradwives don’t want domestic servitude. They want the roles of wife, mother, and homemaker to count as respectable options for the 21st-century woman.

Tradwives are feminists, too.”

Affirmative Consent Is Back

Posted on by Lone Candle

“Affirmative consent refers to the idea that “no means no” doesn’t cut it; when it comes to sex—or even kissing—all actions must be explicitly and affirmatively agreed upon.

There’s nothing wrong with affirmative consent as an ideal, though some may argue it’s the antithesis of erotic. But affirmative consent as a legal standard is unworkable and dangerous. And as a feminist standard, I think it leaves a lot to be desired too.”
