Every movement to oppose Christianity had its place. In the 80s they called themselves Satanists, even though they didn't believe in a literal Satan. In the 2000s we saw the introduction of "militant" atheism, externally dubbed the "new atheists." Now we have a new generation of ex-Christians who can speak to conservative Christian beliefs because they were able to get out. And they can remind everyone that it wasn't easy.

I am still a "militant atheist" in that I'm willing to speak my mind. I don't bring up my atheism unless someone makes their religion my business. The same for these people.

Very good read. My mom even gave me one of those books, every mans battle about how masturbation was ruining me.

Article has a good point at the end. Tradwife content is an incel machine. It's an impossible standard that these guys see, want follow, and slowly drips into their mind. When it doesn't happen that way they become resentful, angry, and their politics start to align with that. "I can't get a wife because this country isn't conservative enough".

Great read, thanks for posting.

Excellent read. It really speaks to my personal experiences with craving that stability.
