A European Union-funded adviser with an authoritarian bent has taken aim at women who are promoting traditional gender roles, claiming they are guilty of ‘hate speech.’
(LifeSiteNews) — Change my mind: the most powerful policymakers in the world hate the nuclear family, traditional gender roles, feminine women, and masculine men, and want to extinguish their “radical” and “hateful” ideologies from the face of the planet.
It sounds so outrageous as to be the stuff of dystopian fiction — A Brave New World, perhaps? — but today there is living proof of this agenda, and her name is Eviane Leidig. The European Union (EU)-funded adviser has taken particular aim at “tradwives,” referring to a movement of women who are embracing the role of mother, homemaker, and devoted wife submitted to the leadership of their husbands while opting out of the corporate world.
According to Leidig, tradwives are a threat because they “insidiously” promote so-called “far-right” ideology within the context of attractive and “authentic-looking” videos posted to social media in which they bake bread in pretty aprons and pick flowers from the garden, etc.
What exactly is the “far-right” content they’re promoting? She devotes extraordinarily little time to defining this in her own writings and talks, but when pressed, she has revealed that to her, this denotes a “strong sense of nationalism — often white nationalism — anti-semitism, opposition to immigration [and] LGBTQ rights,” and “traditional views on gender,” which, Leidig said, “is why we talk about tradwives.”
She essentially lumps together ideologies that most people agree are reprehensible, such as anti-semitism and racism, with what should be considered normal and positive views: Namely, that we should acknowledge that there are only two sexes, and that it is good for women to embrace femininity and motherhood, and to raise their own children.
As Leidig explained in one interview, “These women are anti-non-binary,” (do not recognize other “genders”), they “want to embrace their, quote, ‘God-given femininity,’” and “they believe that feminism has forced the breakdown of gender roles in society and is the cause of a plethora of social ills.”
She has added that “the need to restore order by starting with the nuclear family unit is a prevalent talking point across these far-right female influencers.” The horror!
To Leidig, this is what the “far right” looks like. Her antipathy to such normal, healthy lifestyles is so breathtakingly twisted, one wonders how she can justify it.
Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised, then, that she doesn’t. I struggled in vain to find Leidig explain why she believes that traditional gender roles — the common denominator of these tradwives — are harmful, and so dangerous, in fact, that their internet presence needs to be censored (on to that in a moment).
By all appearances, she herself has not come up with any remotely rational, coherent basis for her claims (and mostly insinuations) about the female “far right.” In fact, she admitted in one interview that she purposely did not interview any of these tradwives or “far-right female influencers” because, she said, it was not necessary — they had already explained themselves well enough.
