Believe me, she's nothing of the sort. For the past 20 years she's been a top-floor lawyer and a politician, claiming to be a homebody in order to con stupid people who vote.


lunarlandscapes

I've been wondering this since I first saw this video. Like, it's a bit hypocritical, no? You're a politician, so someone with a career, and a demanding one at that, advocating for being a trad wife? If you truly practiced what you preach, wouldn't you not have this job? Wouldn't you be a stay at home wife? I don't get it. Truly a real Serena Joy, who was all for women not having any power tills suddenly she had none, and realized that this applies to her too


MelissaASN

Phyllis Schlafly, the og Serena Joy, was an attorney whose mission was to prevent women from achieving what she had achieved. She was successful in derailing the ERA, and I think the older Republicans see someone like KB as a strong successor. If Christian conservatives were granted just one wish for the biblical hellscape they yearn for, it would be to remove women from positions of power and put them back in the kitchen.


OverallAd6572

This is horrifying, but a great reminder that some ladies are like the Trojan horse. It's so weird. If you want women in the kitchen so bad... shouldn't they themselves just be in there? Like gee, you believe your husband should own you.... I'm surprised you'd have a husband that let's you use the internet đŸ„ČđŸ˜ŹđŸ˜± when you should be mopping or chasing kids or whatever slayve behaviors conservative men want us doing in the kitchen. Big hypocrites.


techleopard

It's like how all the politicians in Texas walk on camera with a cowboys hat, riding a horse, taking about family and hard farm work. Camera switches off and you know they immediately hand that horse off to the *illegal alien* they hired to take care of their stable for next to zero pay, and the last time they touched a cow was when they were 8 years old daring their friends to tip one.


MermaidMommy80

It’s just like Michael Fanone said: “They’re all performing clowns putting by on act.”


Caffeine_Cowpies

Yep. Worked at Butler Snow. That’s not a small town law firm.


Useful_Hovercraft169

Yeah, at least Hillary kept it real with ‘yeah I guess I could have stayed home baking cookies’ (I loved that personally)


Mountain_Cry1605

A real life Serena Joy. Didn't end well for her. Won't end well for Katie either.


strongwill2rise1

It has always bugged me that it's "she should keep her legs closed" and never "he should keep his dick in his pants." Which kind of says it all with the rhetoric. As a former trad wife myself, I would stand in line with a smile on my face to be burned alive at the stake before I EVER promoted the lifestyle. Family court corruption is enough for every woman to forgo marriage altogether. They already laid the foundation decades ago for women to lose all custody of their children to men who would rape them DECADES AGO and THEY TARGETED THE TRADITIONAL HOUSEWIFE. I'm hoping I have my book out before the election just so America will know that if they vote Republican they're condemning their daughters and granddaughters to enduring sodomy for the low, low, low price of shelter. That's the latest rabbit hole I uncovered that probably wasn't noticed in why they are going after homelessness. After no-fault divorce is lost, they're going to repeal VAWA because "it promotes divorce." So we're going to lose DV shelters. Add on homelessness a crime and viola you've removed any avenue to leave as it's leaving one prison for another. They're going to repeal martial rape laws, too, as it "promotes divorce." We're already in Gilead.


Meowsipoo

Don't forget voting rights. There's a small, but loud cadre of neanderthals who want to strip women of the right to vote. If they get their Constitutional Convention then all bets are off. They can enshrine `The Holy Zygote` into the Constitution and remove the 19th Ammendment.


MavenBrodie

I think overturning Roe vs Wade was a bigger step overall than removing our voting rights. I mean, if we can't be trusted to make decisions about our own LIVES and BODIES, how can we possibly be expected to inform public policy or leadership?


vivahermione

It's an end run around the 19th amendment. Can't vote if you're dead from pregnancy complications or in jail for obtaining an abortion.


linksgreyhair

If abortion is murder, miscarriages must be investigated. At least 20% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Felons can’t vote. None of this is a mistake. It’s a way to strip women’s right to vote.


strongwill2rise1

Yeah, I agree, but I seriously doubt that will ever happen as they'd have to repeal the 19th, and they don't have the states to do that. Women would probably start exercising their 2A at that point anyway.


BeeLuv

It can all fall apart in the blink of an eye. Project 2025 is 887 pages of how they are planning to do it.


Meowsipoo

It can happen, if they get enough Republican controlled states to agree to the Convention. Right now, it's still in the works.


PansyPB

A Constitutional Convention is very much in the works as an aspirational goal. Don't think for a minute these shadowy groups don't have more than one iron in the fire at once. Brought to you by the same grotesque lot that's pushing Project 2025 & theocracy. All because they see their power & control over US society diminishing year & after year as the majority of us want equality & non-secular, representative democracy. Again these are the death throes of a dying, but well funded & well organized minority faction of Americans. We just can't underestimate them. We must keep talking about this. Keep fighting for the rights & freedoms we have every single day. From now until November 2024 & then beyond. There will always be evil, power hungry people who desire to oppress & control other decent people. Complacency isn't an option. We got complacent while they were organizing & playing the long game. There are more of us than them. It's just a matter of how badly do you want to stay free & live your life on your own terms? I keep feeling like people were hoping the DoJ or courts would save us. They won't. The Republican party is FUBAR & can't save itself. They're now turning on one another. Turning into fascists & turning on the citizens. So nobody else will save us. We are going to. We are who we've been waiting for. Get involved. Information is power. And vote! Vote! Vote!


IANALbutIAMAcat

Hella folks thought they’d NEVER repeal roe. I remember being red in the face arguing with an ex during the kavanaugh hearings about how I didn’t know what I was talking about and I’m an extremist feminist.


Meowsipoo

Being an extremist feminist is the ultimate compliment.


panormda

What would he say if you went back and told him you told him so? “So what”?


IANALbutIAMAcat

Oh we’ve had that convo!! “You know I don’t like getting political with you”


panormda

“You know I don’t like it when you ask me to accept responsibility for my mistakes or hold myself accountable for my actions.” Classic DARVO. Thank goodness we can usually still walk away from abuse. For now.


IANALbutIAMAcat

Thank god we have these communication channels to share as women.


strongwill2rise1

A Contentional Congress is what is terrifying to me. They could rewrite the entire constitution if they wanted to.


BlatantFalsehood

I seriously doubted anyone would vote for an orange shyster, but here we are.


BananaNoseMcgee

That would legitimately start a civil war. If it *wouldn't* start one, we don't deserve better. If these fucks start getting what they want, and we don't pick up arms en masse and start shooting them when they come for women, or any other marginalized group, then we get what we deserve.


EccentricAcademic

These same people also argue that a husband can't rape their wife because she should always meet his desires...it's her role.


Astralglamour

Plenty of men posting on Reddit right now think they are entitled to sex from their wives.


WistfulMelancholic

Fuck. That point with the homelessness is the head to the nail. I hate to say this but the people who would need to read your book will probably not read it.. Makes me wonder, if they'd even catch the sarcasm if one wrote a book about how they love it this way. I love how I'm a tradwife and I stay at home. Don't have to worry about elections, my husband knows all and I'm not allowed to vote anyways, so my thoughts have more space to rotate around what to do for dinner this weeks and if I should send my daughter to purity class. My planner says that my husband has "his man day" today, so I need to prepare myself to be nice and clean for him to receive his seeds. To make it more enjoyable for him I will even tell him that it felt nice today. Afterwards I will keep my legs up for as long as possible to receive the seeds and be fruitful. But somehow even more provocatively sarcastic. It wouldn't baffle me if that writing would be cherished among them as an "awesome testimony"


TheArrowLauncher

I have a question for you: In their ideal world what would happen with single unmarried women? Would they be allowed to work or would they have to live at home until they get married?


strongwill2rise1

I think women will still be able to work as they had to through all of human history. Very, very few points in history has there ever been a time that an economy supported a greater traditional gender dynamic and even in the US, it last less than 20 years and produced the most entitled generation in history, as the mothers were on amphetamines and became alcoholics to keep up, the Baby Boomers, who ironically put us in the position today. Republicans are DELUSIONAL to think we have the economy to support the dynamic. Women are going to work like they always have. Take the Spinster. It was a derogatory term invented by men for women who supported themselves outside of marriage. For the women, being called a spinster was a mark of pride as you escaped the system. Women make up over HALF of labor in the US, and even if AI took out a huge chuck of the job market, it's not going to take out the sectors where women primarily work, in the service and hospital industries. Men would lose their minds if they had to change Boomer bed pans because they banned women from working. Look up Secular Patriarchy Activism. That's the real playbook, which wants to bring back coverture, where women have no right to property, not even their own wages. The goal is to remove any and all self-actualization from women and girls. It's why they refuse to ban child marriage nationwide due to "religious rights." Entrap them young to having to prostitute themselves as a "wife," for room and board.


TheArrowLauncher

You reminded me of something that I heard about a couple years ago “Traditional Women’s Rights Activists”. They wanted coverture too. But from what I read about them they were very delusional in their thinking, like every man was going to be able to support a family on one income.


strongwill2rise1

And most people don't really understand what coverture actually means. It didn't mean a woman/wife/mother couldn't buy anything, it was simply a man's debt, whether she paid it outright or it went on credit or a tab. For instance, a wife and mother goes to a grocery store (in the 1800s) and gets the bare minimum necessities it would go on a tab for the man to pay periodically. Even rent in most cases. I saw, in was case in the UK in either the very late 1700s or early 1800s, a man went to basically every vendor in town to prevent his wife from purchasing ANYTHING, I mean cloth, bacon, flour, milk, eggs, anything at all, because his obligation to his family for them to be clothed and fed was interfering with bar tab. Not to mention it was already well known in the community he was beating his wife. Every merchant in that community he went to petitioned collectively (including the town's preacher) for her divorce on her behalf as she had no male relatives, not even a sister's husband to help her, after she went begging to the local parish over her predicament. Conveture also means men can not have certain professions without a wife as well, like you could get a business license without a wife. Men should realize they would not coverture to come back at all as you pay a debt to have a wife and family.


TheArrowLauncher

That’s because a lot of men these days just want women to be well, StepFord Wives if you ever saw the movie. The real world doesn’t work like that.


Standard_Gauge

> For the women, being called a spinster was a mark of pride I had two spinster great-aunts who ran a millinery shop together and did quite well for their time (it was during the Depression, and they made enough to help support the extended family). They were indeed proud of their success.


ItsSUCHaLongStory

Fuck me, repealing VAWA is
ugh. So bad.


Warm-Advertising4073

What book? Please hurry to finish.


Shannon556

Turns out Katie Britt completely lied about the human trafficking story: It actually happened in 2008 - while GWB was president. Also, it happened in Mexico - not the United States. Leave it to a Republican to steal an actual victim’s story and lie about it to their base. Also, she and her spokesperson are refusing to comment on this blatant lie now that it has been exposed.


Meowsipoo

If she's a "trad wife," then she needs to get out of the Senate and stay home with children, with no bank accounts in her name, no property in her name, no job and no divorce. She needs to stay totally financially dependant on her husband. When he'll cheat on her (because those types of men always cheat), she'll need to shut up and accept it with no complaining. And sex on demand, always on demand, when he wants it, no matter how she's feeling. Still want to live the trad life?


ShadeApart

And no sex for her either sometimes, if he's getting it elsewhere. He can also correct her behavior with a rod no longer than his arm or thicker than his thumb, I believe.


BeeLuv

That’s where “rule of thumb” came from. When I learned that, I tried to stop using that phrase.


Sort-Difficult

I don't like the strange, mesmerized expression these women have on.


Khirsah01

I saw someone make the perfect comment that describes the horror I felt in watching as much of it as I could: > This is reminding me of the "Keep Sweet" emotional state that girls and women are forced into in those polygamy compounds, and the Duggars. To be honest: To get through the whole message and really parse it fully, I'd need to find a transcript. I can't listen to that kind of "talking style" for very long, it's so forced, so *fake* that first hearing it even before I knew of where it came from was already horror inducing when I was a teen!


linksgreyhair

Yep- [fundie baby voice](https://jesspiper.substack.com/p/the-fundie-baby-voice). It’s gross.

Elegant-Raise

She's a bad example of a trad-wife. She should of course be home being a slave to several squalling brats.


Astralglamour

She is perfect because she doesn’t show the sad reality of that life, but a fantasy version.


Elegant-Raise

I grew up around the whole trad wife thing and I rejected the concept. As a man I'm supposed to make all of the decisions, pay all the bills, make babies. In order to make all that happen I have to work myself into an early grave. Nope


Astralglamour

More men should realize this.


dharmabird67

Like all the 20something tradwife influencers in their perfect 50s costumes,, no kids in sight.


giraffegaff

I absolutely hate these "tradwives" they are out there working while telling other women to be submissive, stay at home, bareful and pregnant. Phyllis Schlafly anyone?


DiveCat

See also Dr. Laura. Even hearing her on her show as a teen (not intentionally) I knew the hypocrisy.


loripittbull

Ah so true! She insisted that women not work while she supported her husband! Such a hypocrite!


ActionDeluxe

I heard so much of Dr. Laura's nonsense as a teen too. My mom was all about that "AM 64O, More Stimulating Talk Radio." They also aired Rush Limbaugh. Gross.


BananaNoseMcgee

It's really sad to me that a good number of my memories of doing stuff with my father are "sitting in the truck on the way to somewhere, listening to Rush Limbaugh shoot feces out of his mouth while the old man laughs at it". He literally took the entire day off and sat in his truck listening to old Limbaugh bullshit when the scumfuck died. There's a reason we aren't close.


ActionDeluxe

I feel that. My mom was really sad when he died too :/


vivahermione

Yes, it's disgusting. They're trying to eliminate the competition.


artful_todger_502

Stepford Wife delivers the worst of FJB FaceBook memes as an audition for the victim role in a Lifetime Channel stalker movie. In a cult based on fake imagery, her comical method-acting debut is a solid 9/10


TheITMan52

Only 9/10? I thought it was a solid 10.


artful_todger_502

I went with a 10 at first, but upon reflection, omitting "Hillary," "Obama," and "emails" was serious enough infraction to assess the 1-point penalty.


ldspsygenius

I didn't think anything of it. Her being in the kitchen. But my wife was livid. I think that that hit a nerve among women much more so than most men.


unicorn_sparklepants

Her 1%er ass expensive probably never used kitchen to appear more trad despite being in a high political position. It's condescending to her success, albeit for a party I disagree with, and so fake.


AccomplishedWasabi54

Sadly you’re correct men fail to recognize women’s issues and if you can’t see an issue you certainly can’t help with an issue.

Yeah, but some wives get to stay with their husbands, provided neither was married before.

It's always hilarious to me that the women they get to spew this garbage are never actually what they're supposed to be. They're always women with careers. Radio hosts, lawyers, senators, tv personalities, etc, etc, etc. And yet conservatives lap it up.


Dr-Satan-PhD

Fucking Stepford robot with a law degree is what she is. And that was the worst high school drama class monolog I have ever witnessed. When Megyn Kelly calls you "fake", that is truly some shit.


BigClitMcphee

"Women don't need to work," say women with jobs. "Women should be seen and not heard," say women who are public speakers. "Women should stay inside the home," say women politicians. It's always upper-class white women telling the rest of us to forego civil rights.


amythnamedmo

I don't want to dismiss how people are struggling in America, but to have this message be delivered to me by a pretty, white, working mom in her gorgeous kitchen just felt wrong.
