Cindy Crawford, age 55 here, shows what it means to be a 10/10 in your mid-fifties.

Sometimes whores do right themselves.

Good for her!

Although the odds on the 20+ bodycount girl are not good, nevertheless about 20% of them do seem to work out, at least minimally.

But, I think that this often requires some kind of conscious abandonment and repudiation of the old ways, or “repentance.” This might take place in a religious context (and often does), or it might not.

So, girls, all is not lost. Indeed, just as the shrewish Katharine ended up being a much better wife than the naturally pleasant Bianca, often those women who make a conscious struggle to be a Good Wife and a Good Mother, end up being far better than those who eased into it somewhat habitually.

I do not think that men can really precipitate this conversion, except perhaps through the avenue of outright coercion — for example, tying a woman to a post in a public place and whipping her. But, men can make a few inquiries to see if a woman has rejected her old ways.

Barnyard Animal from 1000 Years Ago Explains how to Manage 50 Wives

Twitter anon “Peachy Keenan” published a new book, Domestic Extremist. It’s good!

The main reason I’m mentioning it here is because I think it can serve a certain role.

I like old, classic things. Young people need something to fill their minds besides whatever they see on Netflix or TikTok, the print media and popular music. “Nature abhors a vacuum,” it is said, and that is particularly true of young minds. Children and young people know that they have to learn something, and will suck up whatever is in their environment. You have to fill that vacuum with things of merit and value. Read Little House on the Prairie, Anne of Green Gables, or Ivanhoe.

I think that young minds, or older minds too, should be subject to “overpressure.” “Overpressure” is used where the external environment is basically toxic. For example, if you want to make a battle tank resistant to poison gas, then you pressurize the tank with purified air. The air is constantly leaking out of the tank, which prevents the toxic outside air from leaking in. Basically, read a lot of old books, of quality. For older people, whose minds are more “full,” this pressure of quality new material helps sweep away the old influences. If you read all of Jane Austen’s novels, it will help wash away the effects of watching way too many episodes of Sex in the City and Seinfeld. Or, maybe just read the New Testament.

But the problem with this approach is that it does not give a good idea of how to deal with today’s environment. Young people, and older people too, should have an idea of what we face today, and strategies to deal with it.

“Peachy Keenan’s” strategy was to become: Extremely Domestic. She was on the usual Feminist Life Track of going to a top university, and starting a “good career.” She might not have gotten married at all if she didn’t run across a more traditional, marriage-minded sort of man, who basically talked her out of her Leftist brainwashing. Even so, she tried to do the “working mother” thing for several years. Finally, with a new child on the way, she gave it all up and became a full-time housewife. Now she is the mother of five.

Thus, she serves as an example of someone who was not “born into” traditional family roles, as in some Christian circles or among immigrants, but learned it. And, she has developed a series of strategies for dealing with present-day problems. Along the way, she became a Catholic. She also homeschools, and uses select private schools.

Plus, she looks like this — which, if you ask me, is what a mother of five should look like.

There is not much we can really do directly about what is going on in the world, or the world we face outside the door of the house. But, we still have the basic ability to choose what we do in our own homes. Netflix might be full of garbage; but we don’t have to watch it. The supermarkets might be full of processed foods that are bad for health; but we don’t have to eat them. The schools might be Leftist brainwashing centers; but we don’t have to send our children there. Other men’s children might be addicted to Instagram and TikTok; but we do not have to give our children smartphones.

But, to do all this, you have to be at home. Or, someone does; and since it is usually the man out working, this means the wife. If a woman is not in the home, but is spending all her time and energy working, her children will be raised by low-paid hirelings; they will eat bad food because nobody has time to cook; they will be sent to public schools, because someone has to take care of them during the day.

Now, instead of a personal choice, we are forced into solving gigantic problems. We can’t just choose a homeschool method or curriculum; we have to reform the entire public school system. We can’t just turn off Netflix; we have to reform all of Hollywood. We can’t just care for our own young children; we need state-funded daycare. Of course none of these problems will be solved, at least before our children are grown; so, basically, we can do nothing at all.

Peachy goes into this in some detail. Her snarky style gets a little tiring after 200+ pages, but mostly it is pretty good. Girls and young women will find an example of how to deal with the problems of this day and age, which they won’t find by reading A Secret Garden. Girls of 16 or 18, who are getting flushed into the intake chute of the Feminist Life Track conveyor belt, can hear from someone who says: “Been there, done that; and this is what happened to most of those women.” Women who are already going in the domestic direction will be encouraged that they are not alone.

The Feminist Life Track was semi-functional for a while, but what was common in the 1990s or 2000s is crumbling today. Men don’t want to marry women who whored around between Ages 15-30, and who promise upfront that their careers will be more important than the man’s children. Women are finding that, not only are they unable to effectively combine career and family, as the previous generation failed to do, they are not even getting the chance. They are stuck in their jobs with a bunch of frozen eggs. I suspect that we are heading toward a time where even up to 50% of women never marry. This is just a guess, but I can say with certainty that 100% of the women who will never marry, were unmarried at Age 32. This is something that is happening right now. We just don’t know what is happening until the unmarried women Age 32 today reach Age 45, and we can draw a line under it.

If I had teenage daughters, I would read this together with them. Just read it out loud, and talk about it. You don’t have to do this in a solemn sort of way, like you were reading Corinthians. Just read it for fun, like you were watching a movie together, but it’s a book. Comment on what you agree with, and where you think Peachy gets it wrong. Do this before your teenage daughters go too far down the path of herd-following all the other girls. I think it would be interesting for teenage boys too, although not quite so directly.

Here are ballroom world champions Riccardo Cocchi and Yulia Zagoruychenko, having a good time together. You don’t have to dance this well, but it would be nice if you did. They were married in 2017.

Isn’t that romantic?

By the way, Riccardo Cocchi’s last name is pronounced: “Cocky.” Which means that, in English, his name could be: Dick Cocchi. I guess some people really are born like that.

We saw “Sarah Therese” earlier for her tips for wives. But, her whole channel is pretty good. Anyway, it is nice to see a pretty white woman of some education, who is married, has five children, and is a stay at home wife who homeschools.

If she can do it, you can do it! Or, you can marry someone like this.

From The Life of Greece, by Will Durant.

“Grey Divorce,” among couples over Age 60 and typically after the children have left the house, has been rising.

I am seeing personally a new pattern of strongly family-oriented men leaving their wives, over Age 60, basically because “I’m not haaaappy.” Often, they have good reason to not be happy. Their feminist wives still think, even after 30+ years of marriage, that being a pest and constant aggravation is some kind of feminist accomplishment. They are still playing the “you have to do half the housework” game even after being stay-at-home wives for 30 years. They are still seeing what they can get from withholding sex. But, I think also that there have been a number of very good wives, whose husbands get a little restless after the child-raising duties are done.

Often, these couples have a lot of new free time together, and they find that they don’t have much in common. A man has been busy at work, perhaps managing a major organization. His wife, with the kids out of the house ten years ago, has been playing video games and chatting with her girlfriends. His wife, accustomed to her freedom during the day, might not know what to do with her husband back in the house after retirement.

Naturally, these divorces are very disruptive, financially and also for the adult children, and grandchildren.

Generally, I find these stories rather sad. Usually, I think these men would be better off sticking with their wives, especially if their wives have really done nothing wrong (as these men will usually admit freely). If a man is feeling restless, maybe he should ask his wife if she would accept a concubine of some sort. If it is discreet, does not shame her, and does not result in problems (bastard children, diseases, financial commitments), some sensible wives might find that is the best solution.

Otherwise, a man might make peace with the idea that his wife is not really the daylong companion she was when you were both in your mid-twenties. If a man does not have specifically the ambition to pursue other women (at Age 60+ maybe it is best to be a little realistic), then it is usually possible to find some kind of working arrangement. Go out and have fun, do your thing, and have her cook something for dinner and keep house.

“Submission” means something like an employee’s relationship with her employer. It means cooperating in a shared endeavor, a family instead of a corporation. Today, millions of women “submit” to their employers, but for some reason are irate at the idea of “submitting” to their husband. Part of the reason for this is that the woman is already, in effect, “married” (in submission to) her employer. She doesn’t need another husband. Her employer is already, in effect, her “leader.” If not an employer exactly, often it is her “career,” or the idea of a career, that is her “leader.”

It is perhaps easiest to understand the opposite of “submission.” Basically, it is rebellion, or at least, independence. Just try to be rebellious, or “independent,” with your employer. “Oh I didn’t feel like it today. You can’t tell me what to do!” That is fine, but there is then no reason for an employer/employee relationship — or, a marriage.

Perhaps, if not quite “submissive” toward her husband (maybe her husband just doesn’t give her much guidance,) then a woman can be “submissive” toward the idea of a wife and mother, instead of an employee and career. She can do what she thinks a good wife and mother should do, even if her husband does not exactly ask this of her. She can take an interest in cooking good food for the family, even if her husband never asked her to. But, she should still cook him something that he likes. He should feel like he is benefiting from this, not being told to eat something he doesn’t like much.

When there is a highly able woman, and perhaps a lackadaisical sort of husband, a woman can get his permission, approval and consent for things that she would like to do.

“Honey, let’s go to the beach for vacation this summer. How about the second week of July?”

“Works for me.”

“OK, great!”

The woman gets what she wants. The husband does little more than nod consent. But, nevertheless, the husband makes the decision.

But, can’t you have a “50:50 marriage?” A “marriage of equals?” A “partnership?” Nope. Because, eventually you are going to disagree about something. Then what? There has to be some decision-making process. A woman can be persuasive, but eventually, the man has to make the decision. The reason for this is simple: a woman wants leadership, and will never respect a man that lets her make the decisions. This can be confusing for men. Because, when two men get together, it is expected that they will act as something like a partnership of equals. A man doesn’t expect to get his way all the time, and make all the decisions, unless there is a clear status of leader/subordinate. There is compromise. But, what works for two men, and could work for a man and a woman in some non-marriage relationship, doesn’t work for marriage, because women hate it.

You can see this, for example, in the apparently universal desire of women for men to establish all the particulars of a date, preferably (it seems) without actually consulting the woman. For a man, this seems daffy. If a man gets together with another man, it goes something like this:

“Hey Jeff, do you want to do something today? How about going fishing?”

“Great to hear from you Steve. Actually, I just got back from a fishing trip, so I’m kinda fished-out for now. But it seems like a nice day to go sailing. I checked the weather and the wind should be good after 2pm.”

“Alright, let’s go sailing then. We haven’t done that since forever.”

With a woman, it’s:

“Hey Cathy, let’s get together and do something sometime. What sort of thing do you like to do?”

“You are so indecisive, you’re driving me nuts! Can’t you make a decision?”

With women, you have to Tell Her What To Do:

“I’m thinking about going to the beach on Saturday, around 1pm. Why don’t you join me.”

“Well, I don’t like the beach much, but OK!”

“How about if you make a lunch for us. Be ready for me to pick you up at 12:30.”

For example, it is common today for a man to have some troublesome wife who insists on having her way. A man makes a concession just to bring an end to the constant strife and contention. But, a woman then perceives this man as being weak and spineless. He is not weak and spineless, he just doesn’t think it is worth arguing about. But, that is a woman’s perception.

There’s a book about that: The Surrendered Wife.

“Surrendered” basically means “submissive.” You can say “surrendered” if you want to.

A common idea today is the “50:50 Marriage.” Basically what this means is: When we agree, then you can have it your way, but when we disagree, then we do things my way.

Har!

When a woman is not submissive, or a “wife,” she tends to be overbearing, or basically the role of a “mother.” A man doesn’t tell another man what to do, unless he needs to as part of the organization of the group, to achieve a group effort. He might make some suggestions, some helpful insight or criticism, but a man respects another man’s independence. He is not a child; and even if he is acting childishly, he is not your child. It is not something you have to trouble yourself about. At no time does a man act like another man’s mother, or father, treating that man like his child. When Julius Caesar led Rome’s armies into Gaul, did he act like their mother? Did he treat them like children?

But, when a woman is allowed to make decisions, she then tends to treat her husband like a child. This is very irritating to men, and also, women hate it, because she instantly perceives that her husband is “acting like a child” although actually he is just letting her have her way to stop the endless bickering and contention. A woman insists on managing the monthly bills, so a man lets her do it. She then assumes that he can’t do it (like a child), when of course he can do it, but he isn’t because she insists on doing it herself.

The final reason why women should not lead the family is that women have bad judgement. They lack analysis and foresight. Matriarchy Does Not Exist. Yes, there are some women that have better analysis and foresight than some men. But, mostly, women are clueless. They are still trying to figure out that 90% of the women can’t marry 10% of the men. Apparently, they will never figure it out. That is why men need to Tell Women What To Do.

Often, women complain that men their age are disturbingly immature, or just not interested in marriage, at that time. Or, maybe they are just not financially secure enough to maintain a family with a stay-at-home wife.

Women wait … and wait … and wait … and then, finally, perhaps around Age 32, men are ready to marry; or, if they are not quite interested in marriage, at least they are attractive marriage partners for women. But, then they are interested in younger women. Because, a woman of 30 has a number of problems; among them, what the heck has she been doing over the past 15 years?

Basically, this arises from the notion, among women, that men should be about the same age as them at marriage, or a couple years older. This seems to arise from high school/college. It’s fine if you actually find a man around your age that is a good fit for marriage. But, if you don’t, then look for older men, probably around Age 28-35, and maybe up to 40.

Historically, women got married around Age 16-25, and men around Age 26-35. This was true in the days of Ancient Greece, and also, most of Christian European history.

There were times when men got married younger. These were generally times when a man under Age 25 could support a wife and family. In US history, where there was plenty of unused land, a young man could set up a small farm beginning around Age 18, and maybe get married around Age 22. Or, in the 1950s, a man could get a good union job at Age 18.

Another possibility was the “patriarchal estate,” where a farm or other business was basically a multi-generational project. A farm or business would have three generations living under the same roof and working at the same farm or business. Then, a young man would live at the family house, and bring in a new wife.

More recently, the trend for men and women to be about the same age at marriage, or maybe about two years older for the man, arises largely from the public school system. In the past, before 1940, most Americans went to work (typically an apprenticeship) after eighth grade. High school, and then commonly college, was a post-1950 phenomenon. Mandatory public high school was largely a consequence of the elimination of child labor in 1939. Now women are “in school” from Ages 16-21, most of their 16-25 window, exclusively with men around the same age, and away from older men.

Before then, a young woman lived at her parents’ house. She was “debuted into society” (declared available for marriage) around Age 16. This was accompanied by dances and other get-to-know-you events, with eligible men of all ages.

This woman talks about taking XX years to get financially established enough to have children. By then, she is too old to actually have the children. It was the man’s job to get financially established, and then he could marry at Age 30. His wife could just show up with her womb, and a few basic homemaking skills.

Feminism fails again. You had it so easy girls!

Recently, Estee Williams has been kicking sand in the face of career girls. Har!

She will have a lot more to do with three children.
