This is an interesting item by Helen Roy. And since Helen is a TradBabe (that is, she has options), and also a wife and new mother (don’t take advice from single women), and of the BigBrain subcategory, it has something worthwhile in it I think. This is the basic landscape of dating in Hell WorldContinue reading “Build It and They Will Come”

What To Teach Your Children
This is “The Children’s Song,” from Puck of Pook’s Hill (1906), by Rudyard Kipling. In 1906, Britain was still Champion of the World. This is what people teach their children, when a nation is at its best. Land of our Birth, we pledge to theeOur love and toil in the years to be;When we areContinue reading “What To Teach Your Children”
But I Could Have Been a Ballerina
When I want some inspiration for something to write about, I often turn to Lori Alexander at the Transformed Wife. Recently, she talked about women’s unrealistic expectations. Too many women these days carry a burden they were never meant to carry. All of their lives, they are told they can be and do whatever theyContinue reading “But I Could Have Been a Ballerina”
Why 22 Is Too Old
This is ridiculous, and an improper use of the term “the Wall,” but, as before, let me explain what is going on here. Let’s say you wanted to marry a virgin — for the very good reason that virgins tend to make good wives. To that we can add some other preferences: No Tattoos, andContinue reading “Why 22 Is Too Old”
20 Qualities of a Good Wife
A woman can be a good student, a good daughter, a good employee, a good friend, a good neighbor and a good citizen. Even, a good girlfriend.

Write It Down and Forget About It
The last thing a man wants to hear when he gets home from work is all the other things he is expected to do — taking care of this, and fixing that. This can very easily degenerate into nagging, which does nobody any good. If they could, men would take their nagging wives, tie themContinue reading “Write It Down and Forget About It”

My Husband Doesn’t Help Around the House
Fuck yeah he doesn’t. That is your job, not his. Are you some kind of invalid? Do you need “help” to do the laundry or vacuum? When he comes home from work, it should all be done. Get to work, bitch! Men do typically work around the house. Mostly, this is repair and maintenance, andContinue reading “My Husband Doesn’t Help Around the House”
Being a Mom in Japan
Japanese women still have the healthy idea that having two working parents is strictly for poor people. Here is Moe, the “Kimono Mom,” taking it easy in Tokyo. She is known for her spectacular kimono and on-point hair and makeup, but here she is keeping house and being productive for the benefit of her husbandContinue reading “Being a Mom in Japan”
Looking Good in your 50s
A woman in her mid-50s should not be prancing around Instagram in a bikini. She should be married for 30+ years, to the same man, enjoying some new grandchildren, and not have any social media accounts at all. She should be wearing age-appropriate clothing (somewhat matronly, well covered), but look fantastic wearing it. But, IContinue reading “Looking Good in your 50s”
