I was just thinking about Racist Barbie the other day randomly. I indeed had not heard her come up in quite a while. I preferred it that way.

Is this the female Andrew Tate or am I thinking of another dumb ass?
It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

There are several. There's also H Pearl Davis.

Either way, this is a serious case of Leopards eating faces, so fuck her.

I'm just about 4 paragraphs into the article, but it does sound super interesting. It's giving me "nuance centrist" vibes and probably going to discuss why the extremes of "trad wife" and "independent women that need no man" route is wrong and should not be viewed as the ultimate road to take. It seems like a long read, something I'll be doing on my break.
DI MOLTO!
She was a strong independent woman who realized that she lost all her freedom by getting what she wanted.

No her gimmick was more being an "honest reporter" while being incredibly bias and dishonest.

Sounds like she's still the same awful person just with the 'tradwife' peddling removed.
Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read.

This one comment echoed my sentiments.

"What makes ideologies different from traditions is being one-dimensional extract of a broad ecology of traditional values and institutes. So for instance in this case Lauren maybe wasnt entirely wrong going tradwife but the trad-ecosystem was missing in this equation, so the vetting by elders, shared community, land connection, common religious practice seemed to be missing in this situation. Its not like traditional communities are lacking assholes but he wouldve been disciplined into a tolerable level of assholeness. Sort of Italian mafia style but it could be liveable at least."

The thing is with a number of behavioral beliefs (any variant of I believe that people should do X or Y) to be put into practice, they need a community and society in agreement at large because there needs to be an incentive and accountability system to make sure people are motivated to do the right thing and not abuse their positions. Southern apparently built up her own community on her beliefs but the males it attracted were generally opportunists looking to capitalize on free labor. Then her husband took her out of her community to live in another country. There's no one to hold him accountable for his actions, no framework to look out for her like the commenter mentioned.

The obvious problem with 'tradwives' is that conservative men don't actually want feminine nurturing domestic partners, they want cooks and maids.
I didn't read it so apologies but... wasn't the whole appeal behind the tradwives thing, "Jobs, bills, and labor-intensive housework suck... I'd rather get married, cook, clean, and take care of kids because it's nowhere near as stressful"?

Guessing she wound up finding it equally stressful after a few years?
While my initial knee jerk reaction was Dennis's "You dumb bitch" line, I wouldn't wish on anyone a spouse like hers. JFC, that dude is a craven piece of shit.
Party leader, passive-aggressive doormat, pasta eater extraordinaire!
Couldn't make it all the way through the article, taking pot shots at "liberal feminism" in an article about how shitty the tradwife life is, not to mention casting Lauren Southern as some sort of hero fighting the good fight while breezing past accountability for spreading this kind of nonsense, made it hard to take seriously.
Thus I became a madman.

Her story of being so right wing, joining right wing media, getting sexually harassed and then blackballed from the community, then all of the problems she had with her husband, then she goes and lives in a trailer park for a while cause she gave most of her money to her husband to save the relationship, then she kind of comes out of it.

And then she didn't learn anything from the experience and is basically the same. It was just so disappointing.

are you saying that the writer of the article was correct in that you can't embrace liberal ideology and be a mother at the same time?

Right. They'll let a more-or-less 'pretty face' parrot their views for a while. But we all know where they think women belong.

The author mentions several times she was into hippie sex commune shit. She's not saying, like, socialized healthcare isn't compatible with motherhood.

so in other words, its more like the conservative perspective or how they imagine liberalism is supposed to be, shunning morals and family values. A big ol sack of horse manure except less useful

At least sad beige moms express their sadness through weird decor choice.
