Maybe there is something to those 20th century Christmas songs after all. Just kidding. Maybe.
No One Writes Great Christmas Songs Anymore by Addison Del Mastro
But maybe those midcentury classics weren’t really Christmas songs at all.

Beyond Cynicism: America Fumbles Towards Kafka’s Castle
On America's 'long emergency' of recession, globalization, and identity politics.

Ed Lee
The first "Asian"-American mayor of San Francisco was no friend to tradition and a participant in leftist subversion of identity and tradition. Kyrie eleison.
Know your target audience
These songs may be based on personal experiences, or not, but they definitely do resonate with women.
And Taylor Swift's "A Better Man" sung by Little Big Town.
Miranda Lambert's "Tin Man" received nominations for Grammy awards; so did "A Better Man."

Tradt(non)hots
The alt-right has its tradhots, women posing as journalists and social media content providers -- how many of them see themselves as teachers or as authority figures? Probably only a few, if any. At worse, it is more likely that they are seeking now to tell men what to do, but to be celebrities with male followers giving them attention or perhaps even donations, as rooshv and others believe.
But then there are the traditional women who are blog, or have even earned a graduate degree of some sort who think they are qualified to lecture men on what they should be doing.
So who is a greater offender against feminine virtue?
