He likes date nights once a week, so they go. They have a babysitter on those evenings. He didn't want nannies in the house, so there aren't any.

public service notification, everyone pause. I have been quoted in a lot of things in the last few weeks, which has been such a funny left turn in my life. But in one of the Substack articles that I was quoted on, what I read was that Ballerina Farm had 1 million followers in 2022 and has gained seven and a half million followers since then.

Which means that when I said kind of offhandedly that I thought that this was connected to Roe v. Wade, I was actually completely correct. You cannot tell me that it is accidental that in the two years where we lost more reproductive rights than in decades previously, all of these tradwives have been gaining insane traction online. Also, I'm sorry about the bedhead.

I'm just really excited and I can't wait. Like, does that not blow your mind? Whether you think that culture and media are the same thing or culture drives media or media drives culture or media drives politics or politics drives media, you have to acknowledge that they're in this constant dance with one another. And we are watching these accounts gain millions of followers

at a time when women don't have access to control over their own bodies. Why do we think we're following this woman who has happily chosen to procreate as much as humanly possible, who is in her early thirties and has eight, nine, I can't even keep track that many children already and has them happily and has the support to make it possible to make it look enjoyable.

I think it's because even the most progressive of us are so afraid of what's happening right now that we are subconsciously desperate to see a sign that it's possible to live in this world and still find joy. Most of the women my age that I know are terrified of having children because they don't want to deal with the immense financial burden. We are terrified to have miscarriages.

We are terrified to have to pay for childcare. And we are also at a time period where statistically men are going to start getting promoted over us at much higher pace than previously. It is not accidental that all of this is happening and that ballerina farm is gaining so many followers. When you ask me, why do I care? This is why, this is why I care. This is why it matters. It's all connected.

And it's all pointing towards some pretty clear signs that the women are not okay.

You're not going to believe this. The synchronicity is honestly mind-blowing. I just found out that today is the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade. And these are the messages that I am getting today from fans of Ballerina Farm. I dare you to tell me that there's no connection between the rise of trad wives and the fall of Rome.

So there's this trend that I've been noticing online that I find kind of funny to watch. And it's that a lot of women who like to dive into like the new age spirituality are becoming Jesus girlies, hashtag Jesus girlies. And they're talking about like the miracle of the Bible and how incredible it is and how overwhelmed they are.

And the thing that I always think, and I'm genuinely not trying to insult anyone's religion here. The thing that I always think is like, I think that this is just your first time enjoying literature. I personally don't know a lot of deep biblical Christian people who are also intense readers. And so sometimes when they talk about the Bible, I'm like, yeah, man, that's books.

Like, that's the joy of fiction. Like, yeah, you experienced transcendence. I did too when I read All Fours by Miranda July. That's the beauty of literature. And, like, you might actually get that transcendent, empathetic experience just by, like...

reading works of fiction by people who aren't like you and the best part is that fiction usually doesn't tell you that women have to be subservient and that you get to kill people who don't have the same beliefs as you anyways if you're a christian and you love the bible no shade to you i was raised catholic i'm very familiar with the bible but i do just think that there are a lot of people who like are very unhappy and who pick up the bible and like if they had picked up

Steinbeck they probably might have had a similar experience. They were experiencing a connection with humanity through art but instead of calling it art or calling it literature they're calling it Jesus. And I guess it's just funny to me.

I wanted to follow up on that topic because a few days ago, a new profile of ballerina farm came out. It was written by the writer, Megan Agnew, and it was for the times. And it really illustrated the point that I was trying to make six months ago. The point being that someone can be the face of a brand.

They can represent it, but they're not necessarily working alone and they are not necessarily calling the shots. On the working alone front, this profile dispelled the idea that Ballerina Farm is some home-run family operation. They don't have nannies, the writer maintains, but they do have a weekly cleaner.

They have a full-time homeschool teacher who watches the kids and teaches them a Mormon Christian curriculum. And they have full-time farm employees, not to mention a creative director for their website. And then there's the question of who's calling the shots for this brand of ballerina farm. Not even going to answer this question.

I'm just going to read you a series of quotes from this article, which you should read in full. And then we'll have a better idea of who's calling the shots when it comes to building the ballerina farm brand and the ideals and lifestyles that they claim to promote. Quote number one, Daniel wanted to live in the great Western wilds, so they did. He wanted to farm, so they do.
