At least not in detail

2019-01-27 22:32:23 UTC  

@Jacob It is to me. Even local chains with 3 stores usually have posters up with the usual garbage on it. I mostly go to local butcher shops and bakeries these days.

2019-01-27 22:32:34 UTC  

Sometimes I miss ben and jerrys

2019-01-27 22:32:43 UTC  

oh well I guess it depends where you are

2019-01-27 22:32:51 UTC  

in Seattle there's a gay flag in every window

2019-01-27 22:33:06 UTC  

@Jacob that’s really sad lol

2019-01-27 22:33:08 UTC  

shit, there was even a smoke shop with a "we refuse fascism bla bla bla" sign

2019-01-27 22:33:29 UTC  

I'm in Eastern Washington, which is red, though

2019-01-27 22:33:36 UTC  

so that might be why the local chains don't bother

2019-01-27 22:34:56 UTC  

I work next to a hair dresser with a HUGE sign that says "proudly LGBT owned"

2019-01-27 22:35:07 UTC  

@The Lion frame it more like relationship goals. "Wouldn't it be great if we get to the point when we have children, that you don't have to work. You could stay home with the kids and take care of the home... We could have you know, an Irish setter or something, a property with a few acres, maybe some veggies and a little herb garden, we could even raise bees."

If she is already interested such ideas would probably appeal to her

2019-01-27 22:35:30 UTC  

Do you live in a blue part of Ohio?

2019-01-27 22:35:33 UTC  

that might be why

2019-01-27 22:35:44 UTC  

Beekeeping does seem pretty cool.

2019-01-27 22:35:50 UTC  

"Plus, you know...we want to have a couple of kids, so it would be *pretty difficult* for the both of us to work AND raise good children" @The Lion

2019-01-27 22:35:53 UTC  

I live in a big city, but the red suburb I'm from has the same problem

2019-01-27 22:36:16 UTC  

is the county blue?

2019-01-27 22:36:22 UTC  

No

2019-01-27 22:36:26 UTC  

huh weird

2019-01-27 22:36:27 UTC  

I’ve accentuated the importance of a homemaker before, she’s interested.

2019-01-27 22:36:34 UTC  

maybe you just notice this stuff more than I do

2019-01-27 22:36:43 UTC  

I might be desensitized from all the time I spent in Seattle

2019-01-27 22:36:46 UTC  

@The Lion I think there is a lot you can do, just with your own behavior, without pressuring her

2019-01-27 22:36:52 UTC  

Perhaps that’s a better way than trying to read some philosophical crap

2019-01-27 22:36:57 UTC  

We were 98% white a few years back and were pretty aggressively targeted for the past few years

2019-01-27 22:36:59 UTC  

I'm also engaged, and the dynamic with my fiance shifted as I became more traditional

2019-01-27 22:37:40 UTC  

@The Lion You might get something out of red pill married forums like on reddit, or the High T marriage blog

2019-01-27 22:37:59 UTC  

and of course there are things you can do yourself, like saving and investing to enable a traditional lifestyle for yourself and her down the road

2019-01-27 22:38:24 UTC  

Another thing, what would you all consider a good career for a traditional man.

2019-01-27 22:39:10 UTC  

@The Lion Generally speaking, women are less logical and more emotional. Showing some graph about economic consequences of both parents working would be much less effective than painting the imagery of the life you imagine for the two of you together, and let her imagination run with it.

2019-01-27 22:39:35 UTC  

I mean it seems broad but to be engaged in the home life and care for your family, and I intend on having many children so I would need a high pay grade.

2019-01-27 22:39:50 UTC  

@The Lion Something that can support a family and that you are good at. There is 0 virtue in being poor.

2019-01-27 22:40:25 UTC  

@The Lion trades are trad in the masculine sense but being something like an engineer or financier gives you a lot of freedom to be with your kids

2019-01-27 22:40:57 UTC  

I wish I chose a career where I could listen to audiobooks all day

2019-01-27 22:41:04 UTC  

imagine how smart I would be after a year of that

2019-01-27 22:42:22 UTC  

@Jacob either really smart or really the kind of guy ppl dont want to talk to at parties

2019-01-27 22:42:31 UTC  

@The Lion You might want to introduce her to Lana from Red Ice TV, she covers politics more than homemaking but she's a good female figure for the movement

2019-01-27 22:42:47 UTC  

@The Lion you could also think about it this way:

We live in unstable times. We want to bring society back to tradition, but we ourselves might not be able to live that way. So if the choice is between living a by-the-book traditionalist life and being financially stable, successful, etc., the latter option may be better

2019-01-27 22:43:51 UTC  

I always like to use women like Ann Coulter and Marion M. Le Pen as examples - should we live in a world where they don’t have to be in politics? of course. Do we? Sadly not

just replace “politics” with whatever field

2019-01-27 22:44:08 UTC  

Isn't "traditionalist" a subjective term? I feel like we are cultural pioneers trying to find OUR traditionalism

2019-01-27 22:45:06 UTC  

that’s a really good point
