A hilarious piece by Sian Norris, a hatchet-faced feminist ‘journalist’ in yesterday’s Guardian. Below the headline there’s a photograph of an anti-life land whale holding a banner bearing the words, “DON’T TREAD ON MY UTERUS”. I very much doubt any man, sane or otherwise, would want to (or could, if he tried). The article starts with this:

In some more traditional relationships (but not all) the man disciplines the woman either physically (like spanking) or with things like writing lines and standing in the corner,” one woman advises another on the Red Pill Women forum, an online community of rightwing, anti-feminist women.

Welcome to the weird and frightening world of trad wives, where women spurn modern, egalitarian values to dedicate their lives to the service of their husbands. My research into this far-right subculture began during the writing of my book on the far right and reproductive rights. I was curious to learn how the movement, determined to reduce women to reproductive vessels to aid white male supremacy, recruited women to its cause. The answer was a toxic combination of anti-feminism, white supremacy, normalised abuse and a desire to return to an imagined past.
