I don't think Hannah is as problematic as people make her out to be. She's a Mormon woman acting like a Mormon woman - having lots of kids, running a jobby type business, going to church, and really only socializing with her mom and her 500 sisters and nieces. (Her oldest sister and the sister's oldest daughter were pregnant at the same time last year.) She used to do beauty pageants which was kind of cringe but I think she's over that cause she hasn't done it in a couple years.
She never verbalizes a tradwife agenda. Imo, cooking from scratch for your 50 kids isn't "tradwife propaganda." It's just something that the type of person who has 50 kids on a farm in the middle of nowhere has to do. She never says women should get married and have as many babies as possible, she never says women should quit their jobs, she's never even really pushed the raw milk thing except to say it tastes good to her, but I think that's gross. She's never said anything pro-Trump or even remotely political. When I think of tradwife propaganda I think of Allie Beth Stuckey telling women to skip college and get married and have babies as early as possible, not a Mormon farmer's wife making sourdough for her kids.
Saying she's a MAGA moron who wants her DD to be raped by an older man as someone did a couple posts up is beyond vile.
I unfollowed her because her kids always screaming in the background would spike my cortisol but I didn't find her to be the right wing monster people make her out to be. If there's anything antifeminist about her it's that she spends a ton of time and money to be appealing to the male gaze, but I do the same so who am I to judge.
Wow, you’re a real trailblazer!
