19yo’s marriage message to young women

A 19-year-old is drawing in millions of views by sharing her journey from being a feminist in high school to tradwife.

A 19-year-old is drawing in millions of views by sharing her journey from feminist to tradwife.

Savanna Stone met her husband when she was 17 and he was 20. The couple, who are based in Florida, got married a year later.

Her content is filled with messaging to women about what they should be doing for their husbands — which is to “respect them and lift them up”. She considers herself a traditional wife, also known as a “tradwife”, which embraces traditional gender roles in the home and marriage.

She insists that marriage is not transactional, meaning she doesn’t want anything in return for what she does.

In a recent video, she said it was “okay to change” to make your relationship work, giving examples such as becoming more affectionate as her lack thereof was “taking a toll” on her husband. Another thing she changed was her communication style, saying she no longer wanted to be “aggressive”.

It’s a world away from who she was in high school.

“I was very feminist in high school, actually,” Mrs Stone toldFox News Digital.

“I was quite liberal. Growing up throughout high school, I believed the lies that modern feminism taught, and I actually wanted to go to law school and get a law degree.”

She said she and her husband had a lot of discussions before they tied the knot, and that helped her realise she wanted to be a “traditional woman”.

“I want to stay at home, be a stay-at-home wife. I want to stay home with my kids one day. I want to rebuild a nuclear family because the left and modern feminism has truly tried to destroy that,” she said.

She claimed that feminism lied to young women, “pushing” on them higher education and careers and that they “can’t rely on a man”.

“It’s really hard because, let’s say you want a career, but you also want to be an amazing wife and an amazing mother. You can have that, but the world will tell you, no, you need to focus on your career,” she said.

“Or if you want to be a wife. No, you can’t have a career, too. And so I would say, don’t let the world put you in boxes. You get to define what your life looks like. You get to define what your career looks like and what your whole life looks like.”

She said she rejected the boxes women were forced into, and that nothing brought more fulfilment than being a wife and mother.

Last year, a British woman who wrote a book that was considered the “bible” to the tradwife movement revealed she stepped away from the lifestyle after becoming “embarrassed” of what it had turned in to.

Alena Kate Pettitt, 38, began documenting her experience as a stay-at-home girlfriend back in the 2000s with a blog called Mrs Stepford. She eventually got married, found God and had a child — and then published a guidebook called Ladies Like Us in 2016.

Around the same time, the tradwife movement – a notion that suggests women should not work, and rather spend their days cooking, cleaning, and dressing appropriately while being submissive to their husbands – was gaining momentum.

But the “OG trad wife” revealed she turned her back on the movement, claiming “it became a monster”, and moved Down Under in a bid to start afresh.

“It’s become an aesthetic, and then it’s become politicised. And then it’s become its own monster,” she told The New Yorkerof the booming “trend”.

In fact, she’s so “embarrassed” by the state of the trad wife movement, she completely “stepped away”, despite boasting nearly 40,000 followers on Instagram.
