In this episode, I talk about the difference between being a classic woman and being a modern woman and how both can fit under the umbrella of classic womanhood. Being classic means embracing your womanhood for its real purpose, embracing the idea of family, and embracing the things that make you feminine. Being a homemaker can be classic, and a woman in the workplace can be a classic.

00:00:00.000 Hello, beautiful ladies, and welcome to today's video where we're going to be talking about the difference between trad and classic.
00:00:09.540 So as you guys know, the motto for my channel is Let's Be Classic, and to me that's so important because I live my life in a classic way,
00:00:17.760 and as you know, I'm conservative, and those two things go hand in hand for me.
00:00:21.680 So what does classic mean? What do I mean when I say the word classic?
00:00:25.380 Classic means tradition refined. It means elegance and being poised and rejecting the idea of modern feminists, 1.00
00:00:34.160 which is you can dress however you want, you can dress slovenly and never wash your hair, and every time is wine o'clock,
00:00:41.760 and not taking seriously how wonderful it is to be a really feminine woman.
00:00:46.060 The nice thing about being classic is that being classic applies to women in every stage of life 0.88
00:00:52.680 and also in every performance of being a woman.
00:00:55.780 So a woman who's a homemaker can be classic, and a woman who's in the workplace can be classic. 1.00
00:01:00.840 Of course, it's important to have a family and to have a husband and to have children,
00:01:05.300 and those things give you meaning.
00:01:07.300 There are some women who need to work to help support their families, 1.00
00:01:10.480 and there are some women who choose to work because they love their jobs. 1.00
00:01:13.460 And those things are completely valid and can totally fit into the classic lifestyle.
00:01:17.680 Being classic means embracing your womanhood for its real purpose.
00:01:23.080 Embracing the idea of family. It's embracing the idea of being part of a community.
00:01:28.060 It's embracing the things that make you very feminine.
00:01:31.660 You can do that in your home, but you can also do that in the workplace and bring it home with you.
00:01:36.500 There's room to be who you want to be in the definition of classic.
00:01:40.840 If you want to be a homemaker and be classic, that's totally applicable.
00:01:44.280 And if you want to be a woman who's in the workplace and is a mother, that's also totally applicable.
00:01:50.020 So I love the idea of classic for that reason.
00:01:53.340 Having a job that you're passionate about and that you really enjoy is wonderful,
00:01:58.100 and the cool thing about it is that it should work hand-in-hand with having a family.
00:02:02.860 It should be something that works for your family.
00:02:06.000 The problem with the feminist ideal of work is that family is kind of an afterthought. 1.00
00:02:10.440 Being classic puts work and family hand-in-hand.
00:02:13.540 Being a mother, having work, being classic, all those things work together.
00:02:18.200 From what I've seen on Twitter, trad is something a little bit different.
00:02:21.760 It really emphasizes the idea of a submissive wife and a husband who goes out and supports her.
00:02:27.540 And the gender roles in that scenario are very specified and very specific.
00:02:32.720 He supports them.
00:02:34.140 She stays home and takes care of the kids, does all the chores. 0.99
00:02:37.140 He's not allowed to help her with the chores because that's not really his role.
00:02:41.100 And what it ends up doing is it really alienates the women who want to be feminine and want to be classic or maybe even traditional by saying,
00:02:51.160 if you have a job or you aren't the one who's doing 100% of the chores, you aren't traditional.
00:02:57.720 Now, of course, there are people on Twitter who would look at my definition of classic and say that that fits in with their definition of trad.
00:03:04.000 But there are other people on Twitter who use trad in this very specific way.
00:03:08.600 I'm not a huge fan of that second way, of that very specific way,
00:03:12.560 because there are a lot of women who want to work and a lot of women who have to work 1.00
00:03:16.680 who are still very feminine women and still want to be more traditional. 0.99
00:03:20.760 And by saying you can only be trad if you do these specific things can cause some problems.
00:03:26.800 So I think that's a problem with this very specific trad approach where you're saying that the only way to be feminine
00:03:33.860 is to be a homemaker and to be in the home and to take control of all of the chores 0.99
00:03:38.440 and that the husband can't help you with them.
00:03:41.180 That is too specific to me.
00:03:43.200 And it leaves out the women who are working, who have to work or who want to work. 1.00
00:03:47.260 There's room for us all to fit under the umbrella of classic.
00:03:51.460 I don't think that there has to be only one specific definition.
00:03:54.640 Another issue in this very specific definition of trad is that women are not really taking on the full role of wife.
00:04:02.740 What do I mean by that?
00:04:03.920 Well, women have the role of helping their husbands grow and helping their husbands become better 0.99
00:04:09.300 in the same way that men do.
00:04:11.120 And if you take on this incredibly gender-specific role of dominant husband and submissive wife,
00:04:17.540 the husband can't really help his wife grow because of this kind of power imbalance. 0.99
00:04:21.580 And the wife can't help her husband grow because of the power imbalance. 1.00
00:04:25.480 So instead, I'm a big proponent of women helping their husbands grow, 0.99
00:04:29.580 men helping their wives grow, and having a partnership.
00:04:33.360 I think those are the best kind of marriages. 0.99
00:04:35.040 If you are a person who is living a classic lifestyle and a conservative lifestyle,
00:04:40.120 you know that one of the best parts of being a person is growing and changing and becoming better.
00:04:45.540 And that can only happen in a marriage when each side of the marriage is pushing the other to be better and to grow.
00:04:51.940 And what I've seen on Twitter of this very hyper-specific definition of trad is that women don't have that role. 0.94
00:04:59.280 And I don't think that's good for anyone.
00:05:00.860 I think what this all comes down to is that a lot of couples have a different dynamic at home.
00:05:06.400 Sometimes, based on cultural differences, men will cook and the women will clean. 0.98
00:05:11.140 Or maybe you have a home where you guys split the chores 50-50.
00:05:15.140 And I don't think that that's a bad thing.
00:05:17.180 And I don't think it makes a woman any less feminine.
00:05:19.700 At the end of the day, the difference between being trad and classic is that trad is just simply too specific.
00:05:26.160 Being classic and being trad definitely has overlap.
00:05:29.700 Being classic is about having a purpose and is about living life in a way where you have a family and a community
00:05:36.020 and you're feminine and you embrace your womanhood.
00:05:39.160 But it doesn't only have to be as a homemaker.
00:05:41.480 You can do that working from home.
00:05:43.740 You can do that working a job.
00:05:45.700 And by saying that you can only be the most feminine version of yourself as a homemaker and as a submissive wife, 0.98
00:05:51.780 I think we're leaving a lot of money on the table.
00:05:53.800 And I think a lot of classic women will feel left out. 1.00
00:05:56.440 So that's why I'm saying let's be classic.
