Alternatively, never blow up your life! Live near your family and lifelong friends, establish hardcore roots with your community, always be surrounded by love. A road less taken by the educated elites, but a happy and fulfilling road nonetheless.

The Onion’s take: https://www.theonion.com/unambitious-loser-with-happy-fulfil...

The Onion's take ten years on is a bit different:

I don't follow what relationship these two stories have with each other -- the first is on living in community and putting down roots, and the latter is on far-right cultural atavism.

It depends if one interprets "trad wife" to mean "far-right cultural atavism" or "traditional wife." I try to listen to those who subscribe to the movement, and they report the latter, every time. It seems those who interpret it as "far-right cultural atavism" refuse to actually listen to the women who find meaning in the lifestyle. Inasmuch, I see these articles strongly linked, and I find the juxtaposition really interesting.

The Onion clearly takes the former reading in their piece. I mean, it's barely subtext:

- "I wanted to live all my internalized misogyny"

- "Replenishing the white race is a full time job in itself"

- "A feminist cut me off in traffic once"

- "I believe in choosing a marital structure from an arbitrary point in human history and pretending it represents some kind of inviolable rule.”

But if you find value in juxtaposing these two, more power to you.

I used to like The Onion before they got super preachy...
