Lauren Southern’s new memoir reveals her "painful attempts to contort herself into an archetypical tradwife,” writes our columnist Michelle Goldberg. “Her story should be a cautionary tale for the young women who aspire to the domestic life she once evangelized for.”
Being an anti-feminist, it turns out, is no shield against abusive male power.
Unemployed Nazi? When are you promoting her to Executive Editor?
OMFG THE WOMAN IS A GODDAM NAZI.
I don’t actually care that this happened to her, if she wants people to not wish her the worst she should probably not be such a racist piece of shit
Lauren Southern is not a victim
too bad it didn't
Let's stop rewarding people who turned their back on the obvious advances in society for money and 'simplicity' that was always bullshit
isn't she a nazi?
It's 2025. I knew this shit back in 1995. I have a hard time empathizing with women who spit in the faces of the women who fought for their rights before them. Don't get me wrong. If you want to be a traditional wife, by all means do that. If you're going to shame others for not...
But feminism..... Who would have know? Why didn't anyone say anything?
glad I don't live in a Country going backwards
Right wing influencer or person who dated actual Nazis…
I would like to take that subheading and punch people with it. Oh, being anti-feminist doesn't stop male violence? WHAT A SHOCK. How could the Times have predicted.
I have zero sympathy. Right wingers are always complaining that the thing they voted for or championed are hurting them. They should feel the consequences of their short-sighted actions and thoughts.
LOL who care -you truly reap what you sow.
don't care
LOL what a stupid idiot
Yeah get back to work for your corporate boss and forget your natural role in nature.
“It seems particularly dangerous to tie one’s fate to a man who is part of an internet subculture obsessed with female submission.
Unfortunately, the women who most need to hear this message probably won’t listen...”
Yup
She earned it. And this is the bane of our culture these days.
Rehab the worst perpetrators when they are subjected to their own medicine.
Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger,...this monster.
I’m not going to feel sorry for some idiot who spread right wing nonsense on the internet right up until the point they hurt themselves in the process.
Why don’t you do a story about the people whose lives were negatively impacted by her BS as opposed to giving her yet another promotional avenue?
I have a hard time feeling bad for these kinds of people
I would love to read her book because it sounds like a few hundred pages of hilarious schadenfreude, but I’m not giving this ghoul a cent.
Almost broke her?! Damn. So close.
She is a horrible human being. Blocking and obstructing rescue boats trying to save people from drowning.
Yeah, I really do not give a shit.
Isn't this the entire conceit of "The Stepford Wives"?
No shit, Sherlock.
Duh. I was raised in the 60s expected to marry & do all that crap that the idiotic "trad-wives" are pushing. I saw how my mother lived, how her friends, how my friend's mothers lived, how some drank or took "mommy's little helper" pills or locked their kids out of the house to cope. Propagandists.
Yeah, she can literally and figuratively go eat ALL the bags of dicks for all i care.
Life comes at you fast, doesn't it Lauren?
“But being an antifeminist, it turns out, is no shield against abusive male power.”
I don't have any sympathy for Laura Southern or any idiots who would try to follow in her footsteps. These people are revolting bigots who are receiving their just deserts.
“She gave out fliers saying, “Allah is a Gay God” in a Muslim neighborhood in England, popularized the idea that there’s a white genocide in South Africa and interviewed the reactionary philosopher Alexander Dugin on a trip Moscow”
Glad she’s miserable 👍
Damn that's crazy. Maybe she should get a real job.
Sucks to suck
Trad wife
Unless you're having 9 kids, living on a farm, and illiterate, then you're not a "trad wife".
Rightwingers really have no idea how women were in the past. Many of them worked in factories, fisheries, farms, and were treated like garbage.
The right is always wrong, nothing new
Lmfao who cares
I’m sorry, who? FUUUUUUUUCK HEEEEEEEEEEER
…watch out for the ones in the teal dresses.
Will wear a Trump 2028 shirt at all her bookstore appearances.
Another right-winger supported by Russian money.🙄
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauren_...
You forgot "Here's Why This Is Bad For Joe Biden".
Too bad it was just almost
Opinion | A Right-Wing Influencer Tried to Be a Tradwife. It Almost Broke Her. f the nyt gift link
Too bad it didn't.
If only there had been some sort of sign that this is how her marriage would turn out.
Any sign at all...
Why is the New York Times?
i don't care about her life and hope it is filled with the suffering she has inflicted on others.
Yes, it must be real hard juggling domesticity and being a white supremacist.
How about writing articles about something else? This is 2 "tradwife" articles I've come across in the Times today. Enough already.
19 years old when she started? Now still only 29.
I literally thought this was a @nytpitchbot.bsky.social headline.
Oh no… did someone who causes pain without consideration of others have a bad experience??? Let’s write about in The NY Times!!!
F*cking joke of a rag garbage paper.
sucks to suck I guess
whether you're Lauren Southern or the NYT
tradwives, anti-vax, groypers, romanticizing manufacturing - these are the true hallmarks of degeneracy, of a society so bored with what its forebears bled and died to achieve that it tries to destroy it all
No no New York Times I'm not reading your Nazi sob stories. Print happy stories, about things like Nazis being lit on fire or something.
Play stupid games, win shitty prizes.
There is nothing traditional about tradwives. It's pure BS.
Can she keep trying?
Fuck her and fuck you.
Very interesting article since this is Pete Hegspeth’s church.
A cautionary tale - zero sympathy for her.
I do love how apparently despite her whole worldview being exposed for a lie isn't enough for her to reconsider the 'being very racist' thing.
Sucks to suck I guess
NYT is the fascist paper of record.
If it almost broke her, she should try again even harder.
I pooped today
She was warned. Fuck her and her bullshit.
wow the thing everyone warned her about happened to her after she spent years saying it wouldn't
Why are you profiling another Nazi?
Gross and don't care
fuck Lauren Southern, fuck you, and fuck your goddamn fucking fascist platforming excuse for a publication
MAGA men are just thrilled when women fall right into their plot to destroy us as individuals and relegate us to positions of servitude and baby machines. The problem is that they begin to see all women that way, when we are not.
don't fuckin care
That’s cool people are discovering first and second wave feminism from first principles, but it’s just kinda unnecessary if they’d just go read a book about it.
Hopefully things get worse for her.
She’s a disgusting bigot who caused a lot of harm with her bigotry and I’m glad for every iota of her suffering and would increase it if I could, hope this helps ♥️
No one should buy or read this garbage. No one needs to read the "cautionary tale" of a shit person. All you are doing is rewarding her.
(goes for the aiders/enablers of authoritarianism too: the NYT)
"I always believed the leopards deserved to eat some of my face, and I felt like it would be good for my career as an influencer. But when they ate my face a little too much and it hurt, I couldn't continue"
Who or what is a Lauren Southern?
'Cautionary tale' only for vapid fuckwits. Go cry about it to Ross Douthat. Lol.
This might be moving if it wasn't so dearly, mind-numbingly stupid.
She deserves all the pain she gets.
Who but anyone with a functioning cortex could have possibly predicted this?
The funny thing about patriarchy if you’re a woman is that YOU’LL NEVER EVER BE ON THE “IN” CROWD. EVER. Bless her delusional, hateful heart for thinking she would be.
No one cares. Let us know when she dies, though.
So this absolute moron instructs people to do a bunch of obviously dip-shitted nonsense that turns out to be some really stupid and self-destructive shit and then...she's gifted with prime real estate in the "paper of record" for her abject and destructive failures?
Stop subscribing to NYTimes.
Lol. Lmao even. I guess she’ll go back to high seas piracy against immigrants or some other heinous shit
Isn’t she a Nazi? Why are you showcasing Nazis?
The author of this article is Michelle Goldberg, a prolific TERF and supporter of far right policies on trans people, so naturally she would be glazing a white nationalist under the guise of “feminism”.
Fuck Lauren Southern and FUCK Michelle Goldberg. Both of them are fascists.
This is her 3rd attempt to sanitize her image and get some sympathy attention. Meanwhile she’s still a racist who tried to kill migrants. Her alt-right Nazi shit is still there, living inside her like maggots.
Why the fuck are you even wasting time on this piece of shit? Christ.
She had to learn this again? She briefly figured out in 2017 that her fellow white nationalists hated women and got hounded out of their scene for it
Maybe she should stop being addicted to the grift
Leave it to the Times to shed light on the most awful and racist grifters of our time.
You should delete this stupid article.
Why should I have any sympathy for a fucking nazi and why are you publishing her bullshit?
How incredibly uninteresting
LOL
she should go, uh, swimming in the mediterranean and think about what she's done
Data paywall. Gfy. You won't get my info. Either I give you money directly or you skim off me in the background your so evil. News was always free why'd that change?
Yikes, I really admired Michelle Goldberg, thought she was able to see the tentacles of fascism in American life.
Tell us about the good people of the moment, not promoting the racists with performative regret for a paycheck. Big ICK
Oh, fuck off.
Lauren Southern should be shamed, tarred, feathered, and the unceremoniously dumped into a polluted river.
Anything less is being charitable
Piece of shit whines about being a piece of shit.
why is this fool worth an op-ed? stop platforming nazis.
fuck her and fuck you
It’s a hell of a move to cash in by first spewing a bunch of hateful bullshit views, then cash in a second time by writing about how the people who shared her hateful bullshit views weren’t nice to her.
lol good. Hahaha
Send her a copy of The Way We Never Were, with a note instructing her to fuck off and go to therapy.
It's incredible that one of the most prestigious and once-respected periodicals in the history of this country gives people like this space to bitch and moan about their own very obvious stupidity and poor choices to just be shit people. Fuck all of NYT and fuck Lauren. You both made your own beds.
Lauren Southern will literally say anything for money. She's a monster and I hope that self inflicted wound was extra painful.
Sorry the trad wife stuff didn't work out, Lauren, at least you have snarling gutter racism to fall back on.
She attempted to literally drown refugees in the Mediterranean anything she’s suffered is not nearly enough and her redemption arc is not plausible she is an unrepentant homicidal fascist fuck you and your shitty rag
When you can no longer grift the right, you write a memoir you can sell to dumbass liberals. Just go after a different audience, you never even have to change what you actually believe!
When that's no longer profitable, you go straight back to monetizing your conservatism.
Oh no, anyway
Lauren Southern can take her new memoir and shove it up her Southern end.
Karma is a bish
Why are you platforming Nazis?
story would be better if she died
Just a reminder that you can support someone who experienced abuse AND not forgive them for perpetuating harmful beliefs and policies.
Damn, she could avoided all this if she'd only died in 2015
📌
But, I’m one of the GOOD ones: A memoir
I'm so sorry it didn't.
It’s somewhat entertaining watching them get blindsided by their own delusional ideology.
Water is wet?
There’s never enough suffering for her and those monsters like her.
Duh
wow you guys sure publish a lot of stuff that humanizes nazis what's that about
your past does follow you
lol i hope her life is shit for the rest of her time on earth
How come whenever the person causing their own pain and suffering through their actions is a frothing violent right winger we’re supposed to care?
Okay.
Wait, forget the trad wife crap, she blocked boats trying to rescue fleeing migrants? 😡
Lmao, fuck that racist fash-gargling bitch. She deserves far worse for trying to sink boats of refugees
Local asshole has story
Thanks for covering more Nazis. Your most treasured activity as an institution
i tried to muster up empathy, but alas, Lauren sunk it into the Mediterranean
I married a man I hardly knew, moved to another country, gave the man all my money, couldn't please him with my high heels and dresses, disobeyed him and am baffled it didn't work out
On social media, GOP right-wing #tradwife influencers create content that embraces the vintage aesthetics of 'stay-at-home wives' & mothers and 'glorify submissiveness' & domesticity www.mediamatters.org/blazetv/righ...
