Published in 2001 and well before the term "tradwife" it definitely lays out the foundation of that movement and the movements that preceded it. Maybe the paradox is also in that they claim to be reforming when they're really conforming to trad gender roles.
Reread the Paradox of Natural Mothering (old but good book) and though Bobel doesn't define what it is exactly, how I interpret it is that the contradiction is in treating "bodily autonomy" as primary while "natural law" is also primary & sometimes supersedes autonomy
The mothers claim their mothering style is ultimately their choice (autonomy) while also claiming the best choices are the ones where nature is prioritized. However, we have always had a tension between the natural and the technological. Where mothers draw the line is personal.
I started charting when I was 22. Even having 12 years of data seems like such an accomplishment to me, I can't imagine having decades more. But I'm making it every day. And the best part is it's not going to any tech oligarch, I'm using it to change the world
Laura Wershler (repro health advocate) was just talking about how she's 73 and because of charting she knew she ovulated into her 50's. It made me realize holy shit I'm going to do that too and it's gonna be epic to be old and wise.
The storm was so tame, not even the worst we've had here lol. But after the bad storm in January completely fucked up certain parts of the country I get the caution, it's the right thing to do
That moment when they go from hissing to purring is so special every time. I love cats so much, they really can teach you so much about what it means to love in action.
