>As feminist writer Jill Filipovic wrote, Britt’s was a message of who women should be: “Afraid, valued only for being mothers, and in the kitchen.” Republicans didn’t even bother to hide the sexist nostalgia they were angling for. As the New York Times reported, talking points circulated before the speech suggested Republicans call her “America’s mom.”
As for the conservative hardon for this fucked up tradwife concept, I’m reminded of this NPR segment:
>But, you know, something else that is disturbing about it to me is that it’s very ahistorical. It does represent this kind of strange vision of maybe, like, 1950s housewife life that – it was never like that to begin with. And I think it’s worth noting, too, that the women who are doing this kind of performance – they’re all white women. You know, Black women, for example, probably wouldn’t necessarily feel as easy pretending that it was the 1950s.
In the picture in the article she looks like that overly attached girlfriend but grown up.
Trad wife is so stupid. Like all humans just fall into these preset categories. I want to be stereotyped
I want to be classified.
Reading further down into the article I am absolutely flummoxed by the fact that there are people in this country that ACTUALLY want to repeal the 19th amendment – mostly because, you know, women keep making it difficult through their votes to actually steal their rights from them. I knew that clown in Georgia that Trumplethinskin had uttered those words but I had no idea that this was something that is largely considered in Republican circles. I’m absolutely astounded by this. I can’t believe we live in 2024 and these people exist.
When she gets her Gilead dystopia the first thing she can do is give up the senate gig. As a woman she has no business being there, according to her twisted creed. She can stay in the kitchen just like she was in that video.
And if she gets out of line, take a finger. To start.
It really is utterly unappealing and brutally honest about the truly ugly nature of the GOP.
On the far right forums, the default position is that the 19th amendment was a mistake that they wish they could undo. Nevertheless, women continue to vote for this party that would love nothing more than to take that right away.
As a normal man, I hate all this women back into the kitchen shit. If a man or a woman wants to work, then that’s up to them. If the GOP wants someone back in the kitchen, then raise fucking wages

Who made the decision, or what was the process that led to Bennett and Ridgeway’s mom to be the face of the Republican response?
Those are some empty fucking eyes, holy shit
She actually named her kid Ridgeway LOL
[deleted]
Remember when Rubio made fun of for drinking water?
Who told her to put on that fake breathy voice?? It’s just weird. And they must have thought filming her in a kitchen would make her seem relatable, but instead it’s an insulting stereotype. This was an epic fail on every level.
Every woman I have talked to about this is disgusted and insulted. Nice job, Republicans.
My favorite part of her “I’m most proud to be a wife and mother” schtick is that she isn’t home a good portion of the time. Being a senator means she is flying to DC during the regular week. Who is taking her beloved children to school, the doctor, who is cooking their meals? Do we believe her husband is doing these tasks? Is he the trad wife? Or do they pay for help? Is the nanny the trad wife?
“That women head households is of no consequence, as the Christian right’s goal is to make sure all women live either with fathers or husbands.”
Aside from how obnoxious and absurd this is, that’s how we ended up with widows in poverty who nobody would take care of. Because of idiot ideas like this of valuing themselves over other humans.
She li that Democrats are defunding the police but Mike Johnson just said yesterday the GOP wants to cut the budgets of the FBI, DOJ, and Border Patrol by as much as 9%.
As a white woman of a certain ag, I may be a bit defensive about the “white woman tears” trope. But, she managed to stay on the edge of tears for 20 plus minutes without ever tipping over into crying. evil.
They get away with it because everyone on their side blindly follows everything they say. They’re so hateful of anyone different from them they don’t care if it’s a lie.
About her husband:
>Wesley Britt was an economic development representative with Alabama Power and subsequently joined a lobby firm.
I’m not sure what this means.
She’s severally out of touch. I guess she’s cool with men being in charge, anti woman’s rights. She’ll be a good puppet for them.
Katie Britt reminds me of one of my sisters, sadly.
I learned the term fundie baby voice because of her performance. It all makes sense.
This is all about making women go back to the 1950’s. Where you SERVE your husband. Women couldn’t even get a credit card without their husband’s approval. It’s all about SERVING your spouse meaning being essentially a slave to his desires and your body belonging to the state the SECOND you find out you are pregnant.
For the GOP rebuttal, we have this clip from 1952.
Conservative women being mad that she’s in a kitchen is just the icing on the cake.
Sone pundit said “Biden declared war on the American right”.
And he did, by stating he believed in freedom. People who get triggered when they see an interracial couple in a detergent commercial despise freedom.
Crazy thing is liberals don’t care if you want to be second class to your husband and stay at home, cook, and raise a dozen kids because your religion says so. You do you.
Leave the rest of us alone.
Britt got degrees in political science and law, and has dedicated her life and energy to politics for the past twenty years.
“Tradwife”?
BTW, her speech the other night was nothing more than a re-hash of her own campaign speeches, consisting largely of fabrications and lies.
Alabamians just eat that stuff up.
Man, she bombed. She’s a terrible public speaker: assumed her values were everyone’s values, overly dramatic, fear mongering, wrong about foreign affairs and economics. Just a pretty, young-ish dimwit thrown in front of a camara to appeal to the minority of folks that wish it was still 1955.
Roe vs wade should never have been overturned! We need every woman out there who is pro-choice to get to the polls and vote! My freaking body…. my choice!
Sitting in the kitchen, wearing gillead green, fake smile, virtue signalling about religion, crying about women being assaulted while simultaneously supporting donald the rapist. I hope democrats run national ads of this to show women their future under republicans. I cannot fathom how any woman, or any man who loves the women in their lives, can possibly vote republican. Get registered to vote people……and vote.

Bro. Watch this video. This guy found out Katie was lying about the 12 year old that got gang raped “in America”
The information is easily fact checked through her own website. What de fuckkk.
Pleasantville covers this perfectly.
I dislike the weird and hypnotized face these women wear.
