Modern feminism insists that women giving birth and sticking around
is sexist but putting men’s shitty jobs on a pedestal is somehow
feminist. I don’t even know what a strategist is, but I’d rather hear
strategies from someone who has literally created a future America than
some barren spinster with no stakes in the game. Look at any mainstream
media source and you will see women who have put career over family.
Sometimes they have one kid. Sometimes they spent $30,000 on in vitro
and have two. Even in those rare cases, you are looking at someone who
has paid a Third World immigrant to look after their children like some
sort of maternal security guard. Why are these people telling us what’s
best for the country? They don’t even know what’s best for their own
family. When I bring this up with professional women, they tell me a
housewife’s life is parochial and boring. What these power moms don’t
realize is America is made up of millions of tiny “boring” microcosms
who shape the economy. CBS doesn’t make its money from Super Bowl ads. They get rich from hundreds of thousands of regional commercials around the country. Dan Donnelly’s Cincinnati Ford may pay only $650 a pop, but when you combine all those local dealerships and restaurants and water parks, you have a good $14B in your pocket. America is made up of millions of little guys and the best way to make money is to pay them some respect. The same goes for politics.
That’s why we need to include housewives in the equation. I want them in aprons, too. Feminists will say wearing kitchen clothes and being on a first-name basis is demeaning, and that is because they’ve been brainwashed by Notorious RBG to think the kitchen is a jail cell. It’s not. An apron is a badge of honor. You don’t use it to get men fired or censored as childless women in the workforce seem so determined to do. You use it to create sustenance for the people you love. It’s a cape that’s on backwards. To be a “kept woman” means a man is keeping you—as opposed to throwing you away when you start looking old so he can go fuck someone else. Modern feminism is perfect for men because it’s all about getting the milk for free as they go from cow to cow.
Kept women have a lot to say about every issue in this campaign because microcosms matter. When we talk about immigration, Pam notices that teenagers don’t do odd jobs anymore. When she was young she’d see teenagers painting houses and trimming hedges. Now illegals do that and the kids stay at home playing videogames well into their late twenties. How are these kids going to be the next generation of entrepreneurs? We’ve robbed them of their economic libidos.
Military analysts are helpful, especially when they’ve been in battle, but the mothers and wives of soldiers have just as much skin in the game. Military families tend to support libertarians. This is because when you sign up to die for whatever president is elected, you want to go with the president the most averse to war.
Single women go to the doctor to get fillers and liposuction. Moms go because their son smashed his head on the coffee table and needs stitches. The latter experience is what matters to Americans when it comes to health care. Education gobbles up more money every year while test scores stay the same. Pundits have to research this, but housewives have been watching this happen from their eldest to their youngest. They volunteer in the library and see the books devoted to entertainers and sports stars. It was the mothers at my kid’s previous school who discovered a massive room full of brand-new musical instruments covered in dust. Antifeminists such as Dana Loesch and Lydia Lovric arrived at this headspace after seeing their sons chastised for being boys. Sure, I get a little worried about a mom being irrational about guns, but moms are also very protective and guns protect. Just ask Dana.
Of course, these are all examples of anecdotal evidence. But I’m not talking about one day with one housewife. I’m talking about making them an integral part of the conversation. There are more housewives than there are blacks. Where’s their voice? More moms are staying at home than ever, and Americans agree that it’s a good thing. Moms sway elections and do the vast majority of buying for the family. Pundits are amusing and they’ve practiced the art of cramming info into a small sound bite, but if we’re talking about experts, we ought to include the people on the front line. The irony is, few can be bothered. While we spend hours on TV arguing about what’s best for them, they’re too busy actually doing it.
