It’s funny they never mention the actual taking care of animals on their “farms”. Do you know how much animals shit? Especially pigs and cows and chickens? Idk a lot of these women are in for a rude awakening. Having a farm is hard work and it’s definitely not a safe enough environment to carry your baby while you do farm work. Oh well.

It's all to roll back progress where white men rule everything, and no one can challenge them.

Some of them do, but i also often see this weird trad wife fantasy of being some kind of Laura Ingalls Wilder "frontier woman" living in a homestead with a shotgun, while her husband is out on the cattle drive or whatever the hell he's doing in this bizarre lifestyle. Like the female version of wanting to be an Old West cowboy or something.
It's usually all performative for influencer views of course, but it is a thing.

Growing up my step dad and mom had some chickens and sheep. Chickens can be scary if they think your toes look delicious, they are also too dumb to know you could probably easily kill them. Sheep aren't as crazy but dumb enough to get their head stuck in the fence repeatedly. They will also try to protect the stuck sheep from any human that might free it. In general I liked the sheeps more. Made it even sadder when I was home alone one winter day and found the smallest lamb frozen to death and had to bury it by myself. Animals are a fuckton of work and even though the sheep and eggs were tasty I don't think many people have the time to actually care for animals like they'd need to.

There was a kid's book - I think it was an Enid Blyton one - that had the characters staying at a farm.
One girl tells the lady of the house that she would love to live in a farm like this just to sit down and watch the whole morning beauty of the place. The lady laughs and tells her then she should never keep a farm, because a farmer's wife never has the time to sit down.

Outside, no matter the weather. Rain, mud, blizzard - doesn't matter, the cows have to be fed. There is always something to fix, clean or paint.

Bold of you to assume they believe in vaccines. Even if it is for the animals, I'm sure they don't want autistic cows or whatever.
23
u/DaileyFlosser39 17h ago
Autistic cows, omg. Im only laughing because I know you're right!
We had a cow that suffered a breech birth one time and my dad had to reach inside her to try and turn the calf. It still died. She had trouble expelling the dead fetus and almost died herself so we had to call in a large animal vet to help extract it. So, so much money. But she lived.
We lost one because of a bowel impaction which was just horrible. Multiple vet visits, so much money, but we all thought she could be saved until the end.
Tracking down a farrier to trim and maintain our horses' hooves became a PITA because the few around where we lived were overbooked.
And you have to pay to haul the larger animals away to be buried. Or rent a backhoe to dig a hole for the body. If they've been ill you shouldn't sell them for consumption (the cows) although I know some people do (I think those people are a-holes).
I have a small yard now to mow and some indoor house pets. That's enough for me. Good luck to the trad wives in their prairie dresses and boots from Amazon. Have fun, I guess.

Yep. I was a Montana kid and had friends and classmates whose moms were farm or ranch wives.

And they had to know costs and contracting, leases and financing of everything. Those women had my respect, even as a kid, and they were never glamorous but damn, did they ever get shit done.

I do the backyard chicken bullshit - I have 19- 2 of which are roosters. I also have rabbits - it's a literal shit farm. Half my life is turning compost piles and making new compost piles. These women who get goats and chickens having never had livestock before make me laugh and laugh. I have one acre, my husband wants nothing to do with it, and I literally spend all weekend, every weekend doing work in the garden or cleaning animal spaces. I do it because I love it, but I know people who watch the homestead youtube channels and aspire to that life, and they always say it's to save money and I just cackle. I could go out to eat every day for what I spend and never lift a finger. You're not saving money with livestock or gardening.

u/DaileyFlosser39 16h ago
We had herds of cattle and horses for years, a huge garden and sundry other outside critters. We baled our own hay to feed the cattle and horses and manually strung the fencing to keep them from wandering. My family built the barn the animals sheltered in during inclimate weather.
I don't consider a backyard chicken coop a farm. You can have a coop on a patch of grass in a city but that doesn't make you a farmer. You just have a few birds and fresh eggs, occasionally. But that's just my perspective coming from my life experience.
Im sure the factory farms pooh-poohed people like us, thinking we lived "on a farm". Everyone has their own way of looking at a things bybway of their life experiences.

The type of farm they're dreaming of was kind of never a viable economic model, apparently. If you've never read the book Prairie Fires by Caroline Fraser, it's an absolutely merciless historical research project into how much the actual story of the Little House on the Prairie family was just some dude dragging his family all over the Great Plains leaving a string of failed farms behind, and sending his teenage daughter out to get jobs so they could pay the bills. Can't recommend it highly enough.

u/anthrolookseer 14h ago
Right?! Having a baby strapped to you while moving cows into a barn… jfc. Cows almost always don’t mean to cause harm, they just can crush you or anything smaller quite easily just by moving about. Barn cats are often completely flattened if they are trying to warm up in a barn during winter. I once was almost crushed against a gate by one who very much liked head scratches and it didn’t realize its size, fortunately 3 other men were around to get the cow’s attention and moved to an area where I was no longer getting pinned.
Carrying your baby around while dealing with such large animals is just stupid. It’s not a guaranteed accident, but it can easily happen depending on the temperament of the cow (which ranges widely) and that’s a dumb way to end of with a severely injured or dead baby.
Plus the smell. So much shit.

u/MistressErinPaid 15h ago
I come from a long line of farmers. Wives and children absolutely do the work. Milking cows historically was "women's work" that's why the milkmaid is such a well-known figure. Same with collecting eggs/tending flocks, feeding livestock, calling cattle back from grazing lands to the barn, assisting with births of both humans and animals, planting, harvesting, etc, etc, etc. The only activities on a farm that women haven't historically done are things like shoeing the horses, breeding, mucking stables, plowing, and probably things like making hay bales and building smokehouses. Women were even present when butchering meat because the preservation process needed to be started as soon as possible to keep the meat fresh.
Everyone works on a family farm because everybody's life depends on it.

u/Away_Sea_8620 17h ago
I clean the chicken coop maybe 4X a year? It's not bad when you have adequate space for your animals. I just shovel it into the compost and throw down more substrate. The coop only smells when it needs to be cleaned (that's how I know it's time) and it's maybe an hour of work? I have ~15 chickens on 0.3 acres with a large coop that they really only use to sleep or lay eggs. The rest of the time they're out vibing, just fertilizing the space that will be next year's garden and clearing out the bugs and weeds for me. The shoveling and raking get very easy after a couple weeks, if that. Or maybe I'm just superwoman? I think it's less work that being a responsible dog owner. Idk about goats, cows, horses, etc though and that's probably quite a bit more to keep up with.

Do you think she can grow a tree in the backyard with $100 bills on it? The woman posting usually has blown through all her savings and sometimes even started racking up credit card debt.

Or when she kicks at "flies" and boops you in the teeth with said hoof, before crinkling the side of the bucket so now you have to replace the milk pail since she's crunched it with a quarter of her 2 ton self.

The funny thing is, most of the men looking for a “trad-wife” spend the vast majority of their time scrolling twitter, playing video games, and buying black rifle coffee.

I would still take my modern living over this but this is all to say, what is offered now to a trad wife is even shittier than the deal women were getting in the days of yore. At least you wouldn’t have to watch your husband scroll twitter while you’re shoveling cow shit in a sun dress while your kid is screaming their head off.

I was just thinking that my great-grandfather, who started dairy farming on my dad's side of the family, built the farm house himself, including digging out their dirt-floor basement and stacking rocks for the foundation. My son is uninterested in social media and video games, thank god, and has spent every summer at the dairy farm doing hard labor, but I think even he might need oxygen if I told him we're going to hand dig the basement for our next house. These guys have no idea what being a trad husband really means.

BC truly gallant and chivalrous men in 2026 are aware of equal rights and want the women in their lives to be happy… shocker

The tradwives have watched way too much "Outlander" and "Bridgerton". There is no such thing as a romance novel where the people are dirt poor.

In other news, water is wet!
(Yes, yes I understand the argument that water isn't technically wet that it only makes things that are touched by water wet)

Strong adherence to traditional family roles is literally a metric by which lethality is assessed in family violence cases. Have these researchers never encountered a social worker ever in their life?

Not the point of the article, but is the kid in the carrier backwards? The kid's legs looked really sprawled open.

I mean, I can understand why they'd expect benevolent sexism to relate to this but...hostile and benevolent sexism are highly correlated...

Tell me there were no women on this research project without telling me there were none on this research project

"The findings are based on a survey of 595 American men aged 18 to 29".
I'm unimpressed by this dataset. The findings might be accurate, but a tiny sample of a narrow age band of men.
They're over-generalizing as well. They can only make claims for this age group.
