A 19-year-old \u201ctrad wife\u201d influencer is speaking out about what femininity means to her. Savanna Stone shares videos on Tik Tok of her traditional wife role and encourages other women to embrace traditional gender roles. In one viral video, she discusses dressing nicely for her husband and making him meals without nagging. Speaking with Fox News Digital<\/em><\/a>, Stone addressed what inspired her to embrace the trad wife lifestyle.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had this moment before I got married and, through a lot of conversations with my husband now to where I realized, you know what, I just want to be a traditional woman. I want to stay at home, be a stay-at-home wife. I want to stay home with my kids one day. I want to rebuild a nuclear family because the left and modern feminism has truly tried to destroy that,\u201d said Stone, who married at 18. A traditional stay at home wife and mother lifestyle, however, wasn\u2019t always something she planned. \u201cI was very feminist in high school, actually. I was quite liberal. Growing up throughout high school, I believed the lies that modern feminism taught, and I actually wanted to go to law school and get a law degree,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just quickly realized the lies that modern feminism pushes on young women, that we have to graduate high school, and then we have this huge career, and we have to go to college and get a degree and grind and kind of get our life together and experiment in the dating pool, if you will, until we find our husband. And then you still want to work because, you know, you have to be independent, and you can’t rely on a man.\u201d Despite embracing being a trad wife, Stone doesn\u2019t want to push a one-size-fits-all lifestyle. \u201cYou get to define what your life looks like. You get to define what your career looks like and what your whole life looks like.\u201d For Stone, that means staying and home and eventually one day having children. For other women, that could look like having a career outside the home.<\/p>\n

The trad wife trend has been controversial, even in conservative circles. Some trad wives are criticized as being more like \u201ccosplayers.\u201d Allie Beth Stuckey of \u201cRelatable\u201d spoke about the trend last year. After noting there are some trad wife accounts she follows, Stuckey added, \u201cBut not all \u201ctrad wife\u201d content is Biblical. Some of it is straight-up 1950s fetishized cosplay. Some of it is just capitalizing on the aesthetics of homesteading without any moral substance. Like all social media trends, it has vapid and, yes, harmful elements to it.\u201d Others criticized \u201cPatriarchy Hannah\u201d after the trad wife account was discovered to be completely fake<\/a>. \u201c\u2018Patriarchy Hannah\u2019 isn\u2019t the only \u2018trad-wife\u2019 with a fake online person,\u201d wrote Samuel Sey of Slow to Write<\/a>. \u201cShe\u2019s an extreme example, but it\u2019s obvious that some trad-wife influencers are just cosplayers taking advantage of desperate women and men with weird fetishes. There are some good trad-wife influencers. But many of the \u201ctrad-lives\u201d you see online are performances, not real life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
