SnowshadowII :maple:<p>Trad-moms and natalism: how the way we talk about motherhood is changing</p><p>" For anybody who knows their history, it really does look a lot like propaganda. For example, Nazi German propaganda in its promotion of the agrarian setting and the duty of the mother to reproduce the nation. The visuals look very similar to what we see now in trad-mom influencer content. There's a lot of historical patterns, and for people who have studied history, this rings a lot of alarm bells for them."<br>"It goes back further than <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Nazi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nazi</span></a> <br> Germany.

There were a lot of prominent people in society, elites, who established eugenics as a way to try to grow the population in particular ways that were very <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ableist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ableist</span></a>, excluding disabled people from society through institutionalization, and also wary of freed <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Black" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Black</span></a> slaves, of migrant workers, of people who were generally not seen as more desirable parts of the population."</p><p>And even further back than that, Margaret Andersen wrote about the French Third Republic after the Franco-Prussian War (in 1871). There were very similar patterns there, too, with a movement toward pronatalism, but also increasing expansion through colonization and the effort to colonize new colonies with <a href="https://beige.party/tags/French" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>French</span></a> populations, but also the treatment of colonized people as not necessarily French when they migrated to the metropole to fill labour shortages.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/HGTV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HGTV</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/parenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>parenting</span></a> <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gender</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Politics</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Cdnpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cdnpoli</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/USPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPoli</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/religion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>religion</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Racism</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/WhiteSupremacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhiteSupremacy</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Eugenics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Eugenics</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Disability</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/business/trad-moms-and-natalism-how-the-way-we-talk-about-motherhood-is-changing/article_960f16bf-8612-5ea3-86f0-db3fbe2ac8a7.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thecanadianpressnews.ca/busine</span><span class="invisible">ss/trad-moms-and-natalism-how-the-way-we-talk-about-motherhood-is-changing/article_960f16bf-8612-5ea3-86f0-db3fbe2ac8a7.html</span></a></p>

Nonilex<p>Mr. Honora also found records from the 1900 Census that list Mr. Martinez as “<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Black" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Black</span></a>,” his place of birth as “Hayti” [<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Haiti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Haiti</span></a>], & his occupation as “cigar maker.” Mr. Martinez’s details appear on the sixth line of a page of the census that Mr. Honora shared with The Times.</p><p>“Both Joseph Norval Martinez & Louise Baquié were people of color, no doubt about it,” Mr. Honora said.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Pope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pope</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/LeoXIV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LeoXIV</span></a></p>
Nonilex<p>It’s unclear whether the new <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/pope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pope</span></a> has ever addressed his <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Creole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Creole</span></a> ancestry in public, & his brother said that the family did not identify as <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Black" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Black</span></a>.
