Fellow nuance enjoyers, think carefully and consider the situations in which it may be beneficial not to, or what the ramifications would be of doing so, and realize there isn't always a good choice and bad choice, then raise your hand (if you choose to do so) ✋✋

Your entire answer to the ask about tradwives is just "white people arent allowed to have traditions".
No our traditions are not "rooted in racism", yes racists existed in the past and still today but pretending that means all traditions are somehow terrible is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. It's clear that you yourself have racist beliefs and are protecting them onto all white people especially those who you disagree with.
All tradwives are different and what traditions they follow will depend on their culture.
White people are not a monolith and don't deserve to be stripped of any cultural or traditional identity to make you feel better about yourself and your biases.
Also not all tradwives are white but I understand that acknowledging that would challenge your tiny close minded world veiw.
Also just because your family was racist (given your takes on traditional women I highly doubt that's true ) doesn't mean all traditional people are.
Okay, first things first I’m white so the wrong person to answer this.
But second, when did I say white people aren’t allowed to have traditions? There are Polish traditions, Irish traditions, Italian traditions and more I enjoy to this day. But those are specific cultures, and not “white culture.”
Because “white culture” is a mythic creation that did not exist and is constructed solely to prop up a version of the past that was not real. It’s a syncretic amalgamation of European cultures, some historical some imagined.
And to some degree we all choose what parts of the past to propagate, imitate, and discard. But we are doing that based on some pre-existing internal metric.
I fear I am doing a bad job of explaining this. Let me elaborate with an example. I am white. Two of my grandparents were the children of Irish immigrants. My adoptive grandmother is black. My bio grandmother who I never knew was French. And my given surname I inherited is first recorded in the Domesday book, and traveled from England to America pre-revolutionary war.
What tradition should I emulate? My Irish ancestors? The grandmother who gave me my middle name and is descended from humans owned by the other side of my family? The antebellum south? The Revolutionary war? The Norman invasion of England? Alsace-Lorraine?
The answer you give could be any of them and that’s the point. It’s arbitrary. It’s syncretic. And it’s going to be historically wrong in some way. All those different origins were quite disparate. And mushing them all together under a “white culture,” something I share with Vikings, and Ancient Rome, the French Revolution, the Antebellum South, Irish Refugees, is ahistorical.
So again, what tradition? Because many of them are mutually exclusive and contradictory.
In other words I am not saying that white people deserve to be stripped of cultural identities. I am saying there is no white culture.

Erin Nielsen’s Toned In Ten Review – What are the Benefits?
Contrary to popular belief, gravity doesnt have to take its toll when you reach a certain age.
Just ask Erin Nielsen, the author of this program. She is 42(!) at the time of this writing and still looks like a teenager.
If her radiant glow doesnt convince you that she knows what shes talking about, Im sure the fact that shes a Physical Therapist, Pilates Instructor and Primal Blueprint Certified Expert will. Read on to learn her secret.
I know. There already arent enough hours in the day.
Which is what inspired Erin to create this solution that will just require 10 minutes per day to achieve the results you desire.
I get it, wasting money on expensive exercise equipment that ends up gathering dust isnt my idea of a good time, either.
One of the best things about this regimen is that you dont need to buy anything! Yes, you can look younger, get rid of cellulite, and shed belly fat without any equipment.
I get that that can be hard to believe, but that brings me to the next great point this program addresses.
Ignore conventional fitness and weight loss advice.
The Center for Disease Controls website says that we should be getting 5 hours of moderate intensity activity (like jogging, speed walking, yoga, Frisbee, ballroom dancing, mowing your lawn, shoveling snow, tennis, water aerobicsyou get the point).
However, Erin explains that this is why you may feel old and worn out even after rigorous exercise. Working out that much actually stresses your body, making you more susceptible to knee, leg or low back pain, put too much pressure on your joints and ligaments and may even make you age quicker.
Great news: you dont have to slave through hours of boring cardio any more.
Did you know that, even though it seems totally contradictory to what weve always been told, excessive cardio can actually cause you to gain weight? Not only that, but it can cause you to put way too much strain on your joints.
If youve ever had the misfortune of joint pain, you know how awful this can be. Like to the point where you wince every time you have to take a step. No thanks.
Are you sick of following all the advice youve gotten on how to be healthy to a tee and still not seeing the results you want?
So was Erin, which is what prompted her to create this regimen. She, too, felt like giving up until she hard about how sprinters always have lean muscles and toned skin.
This inspired her to research further and start applying her newfound knowledge to her 10-minute-a-day workouts. People started commenting on how great she looked, and mistaking her for much younger than she is.
These 10-minute-a-day workouts will boost your metabolism so you will burn fat after youre finished with the workout, and even when you go to bed.
Cardio doesnt create that kind of after burn effect. Erin mentions a study done in 2006for a regimen similar to this program (short burst workouts), where the entire after-burn of fat increased by 36% after only two weeks.
Not only that, but a separate study found that this after-burn can remain in effect up to 38 hours after the workout.
What makes workouts like this one so effective is the release of the Human Growth Hormone.
I will admit that before trying Toned in Ten, I was doing a similar regimen with a high-intensity belly dance workout every day.
Growing up, I followed the conventional advice and slogged away for hours on our basement treadmill, only to be frustrated by never losing fat in the areas I wanted to.
Its great now, though, because since starting this belly dance workout about 3 months ago, and now alternating that with this program, I have lost those annoying love handles, my butt is bounce-a-quarter-off-able, and I still have feminine curves.
I never thought it was possible to be fit and still have just the right amount of meat on my bones.
Another thing to keep in mind with this regimen: its important to watch what and how you eat.
I always laugh when I think about this because of something my dads fond of saying (quoting Jack LeLaine): If it tastes good, spit it out!
No, this program isnt that militant. But you will want to think of how you can best nourish your body when trying to decide what to eat.
Imagine how amazing itll feel when you strut around in that adorable dress youve always wanted, looking young enough to get carded again.
Yeah, buddy! Thats why this is such a great investment in yourself. And you can feel pity for other women you know, the cardioheads who gear up for another grueling battle with the exercise bikes.
Do them a favor and share your knowledge of how theres a smarter and much more effective way to exercise. They will be forever grateful.
Are you thinking This sounds great and all, but what am I gonna do? Try to work out with my tablet or phone on the table next to me? Awkward!
Not to worry, because Erin has included digital videos of the workouts described in the book. She is thorough and walks you through each step, like youve got the best of both worlds: the guidance of a personal training but in the comfort of your living room.
Thats a huge benefit if youre like me and hate having to go to the gym.
No offense if you enjoy it, but for me, just thinking about getting judge-y glares while trying to work out almost gives me a panic attack. Plus, I love being able to work out in my grodiest pajamas if I want with no witnesses (cmon, we all have a pair of shame pajamas.).
A word of advice for those of you with pets: I would probably put them in another room or area while working out. I have two cats and they dont take an interest in me during any part of the day except when Im exercising.
So just make sure they wont get underfoot while youre doing this now and save yourself the hassle of being distracted or worried that theyll keep trying to climb on you during your workout. Its important that you give this your full concentration so you can receive the utmost benefit from looking and feeling svelte and years younger.
Imagine what itll be like to visit the pool or the beach confidently wearing your cute swimsuit, not feeling self-conscious the whole time in your baggy t-shirt and husbands shorts.
That thought right there is what makes this program more than worth it. Let Erin show you how you can start melting off the pounds today with Toned in Ten!
