Your Tradwife is Being Fingered in the Hotel Lobby

Today's "conservative" influencers don't...actually seem that conservative

There is one thing on which we can all agree: nobody is having sex anymore. I wrote before about how our perception of “hookup culture” isn’t real, and is mostly based off media from another era and sex worker TikTok. In fact, the current generations of young adults is the least sex-having in recent history. Just the other day on Twitter, some especially cursed discourse was brought back to life—namely “is it sexual abuse to have sex in the house while your children are also there, even if they’re asleep?” with multiple people insisting this is, in fact, a form of pedophilia. It’s bleak out there for the sex-havers.

But there is one demographic of people who is apparently engaging in plenty of debauchery and raunch—trad conservative influencers.

This week, a spat erupted among some conservative female influencers (most of whom would probably consider themselves “trad” and almost definitely consider themselves antifeminist and anti “modern degeneracy.”) I’m not going to get into names, because the accusations were extremely personal, and I don’t want this article to function as a gossip piece, but it started with a woman (woman 1) posting her engagement ring, and another woman (woman 2) mocking it for being small. A third woman (woman 3) came into accuse the ring-shamer/woman 2 of being a slut. Several other women, including the ring-shamer, chimed in to accuse woman 3 of race-mixing, having STIs, and being a single mother “raising a bastard” (it’s lowkey serving Game of Thrones realness.) Then woman 3 came back to accuse woman 2 of sleeping with married men, being pro-abortion, doing drugs, and a sexual accusation that is guaranteed to become the next copypasta: getting fingered in the middle of a hotel lobby at Turning Point USA (a conservative conference) with families nearby.

Can I say what everyone is obviously thinking? Major feminist win that the right-wing men of Turning Point USA are centering female pleasure via fingering!

Okay, but seriously. A lot of people saw this stuff and thought, wait…how are any of these women conservative? Doesn’t being a conservative woman, especially a trad woman, require some degree of being demure, softspoken and modest? This felt more like an explosive reunion of The Bad Girls Club. But that’s exactly is—nobody knows what “conservative” means anymore. And the more famous a “conservative” female influencer is, the more likely she is act like the depraved liberals she claims to hate.
