The “trad wife” trend shows people are starving for natural order after feminism’s damage — but not all patriarchy is the same.

Nietzschean vitalism (Bronze Age Pervert, Andrew Tate, etc.) celebrates raw conquest, optional families, and disposable wives.

That’s not what built the West.

The West was built by a different kind of man: monogamous, self-controlled, paternal Christian fathers who protected the weak, adopted the fatherless, and saw dominion as a duty to family, community, and God — not an end in itself.

If we replace that paternal strength with either polygamous warlord energy or soft nanny-state nudging, the civilization that conquered the world will fall. We are not just patriarchal. We are paternal — and that’s the part worth saving.
