Ayla – A Traditional Wife and Mother in The Modern Age
“The poster girl for the Alt-Right” or “A Wife With a Purpose” – you might have heard either or both of these names for the same woman – Ayla.
It wasn’t that long ago when several media outlets fainted moral outrage when a white, American woman issued a “White baby challenge” calling on white women to match the number of her children – six – or beat it, which was her way of combating the people and the media who criticised Steve King’s controversial comments.

The happy mother of six has her own blog called “Nordic Sunrise”, as well as her own YouTube channel where she often uploads videos of her self discussing heavy topics, as well as positive ones and sometimes she even likes to troll her adversaries like in the video below where she’s recorded herself doing a funny dance in celebration of Donald Trump’s presidential victory:

I spoke with Ayla, who is quite famous in the fringes of the American right wing, but until recently, wasn’t at all popular amongst your average Joe. She claims she wasn’t always a right-wing, traditionalist homemaker and wife, and that for quite a long time she was a feminist and leftist.

“It’s kinda of a complicated story; I’ve always been a traditional wife as in I’ve always wanted to be a wife and a mom and a homemaker.
“I didn’t want to be a career woman or do any of that sort of thing. I was a feminist in name, but not really in practice as far as that goes. “
Ayla’s transition to a conservative began a few years after she had already been married. She would read up on political issues online and change her mind one issue at a time.
“My transition do a conservative didn’t happen overnight – it was one issue at a time.
“I would say it took me probably about two to five years to completely go from a SJW/Feminist/Liberal mind to what I am now – Alt-Right,” said Ayla.
One of the official logos of the Alt-Right movement, spearheaded by Richard Spencer.
Ayla is a Mormon, which is a radical change in comparison to her previous religious beliefs – being a pagan, or more concretely – Wiccan, back in her college/liberal days. She holds an undergraduate degree in “Women’s Spirituality” – a course that continues to exist.
“Yes, that’s an actual degree.
“It was a silly degree to get, but it was a subject I was very interested in and wanted to study it at an academic level, and then realised, halfway through my degree, that there isn’t an academic level for that sort of thing, but anyway – it was kind of a blend of women’s studies, theology and anthropology.
“But, at any rate, when I was studying that course, I was writing for a magazine called “Sage Woman Magazine” and I was attending a lot of pagan groups and meetings and so fort, so not only was I pagan – I was very involved in the pagan community,” said Ayla.
The mother of six became a Mormon as a result of writing her postgraduate degree’s thesis on the Mormon and Amish communities, but was particularly interested in the community, because her husband was born with that faith, but had left it later in his life.
“I grew up around a lot of Mormons and was kinda fascinated with them, but was told by my parents to stay away from them, because they are an occult.
“My husband had grown up, sort of a Mormon, though he had left the church. He was baptised but he didn’t really practice it.
“He had left the church by the time I met him.
“But he has a Mormom pioneer ancestry and we were having children and I was very interested in researching their heritage as far as his ancestors’ faith and I started researching Mormonism more and more and I really fell in love with it,” said Ayla.
Upon writing her graduation thesis partialy on the Mormon community, the young woman realised that she had never set foot in an actual Mormon church.
“I decided to do my graduate thesis, partially on Mormonism – I did it half on Mormonism and half on the Amish, which were the two most intriguing religious communities to me.
“I was about to finish it and I thought ‘Well, I’ve never actually been to a Mormon church – there’s one right down the street and I’m writing a graduate thesis on their religion – I should probably actually go to a service’, said the mother of six.
“So I started going and really just enjoyed the experience and it kinda continued to snowball from there,” she concludes. Ayla half-jokingly accepts the mantle of ‘poster girl for the Alt-Right’, which was given to her by British and American media outlets, such as the Daily Mail and the New York Post, among others.

“I think that there are women who can carry that mantle a lot better than me, but I think I am kind of far ahead, in the regarded tha I have 6 White children and I am living the lifestyle that some of the younger conservative women are aspiring to.
“So I suppose I could temporarily be ‘the poster girl’, but I believe there are much more worthy women who are up and coming, who will eclipse me soon,” said Ayla.
One big problem that the fringes of the Right, and specifically the Alt-Right, are facing is the skeptical attitude of men within the Movement towards (white) women.
Ayla believes that women have indeed betrayed their men and she even goes as far as saying that, in a perfect world, only men should be allowed to vote and to take the reins of a country.
“I would say that men’s concerns are very real.
“Women have been kinda crazy in the past two or three generations.
“We women have, in general, in a large way, betrayed our men.
“We [women] have adopted feminism and we have been pushing for refugees and immigration and other political policies that are damaging out countries; we’re pushing for expanded welfare a lot of the time.
“And I think that, if you look back historically, given women the right to vote was not a great idea for our democracy, because we are not as responsible with it as men are,” said Ayla.
She completely understands how shocked the average reader and especially the average female reader would be upon finding out that she wants women to be banned from voting, and yet the young woman stands defiant and has no desire to compromise on her beliefs, especially on this one.
“Yes, barring women from voting is very radical.
“But I think we have to be really honest what happens to our country [the United States] after we’ve given women the right to vote.
“Even if it’s a radical notion and it makes people feel uncomofortable, we still have to honest and we have to look at the positives as well as the negatives of what happened with that decision.
“We’re not gonna make anything better if we hide from the truth or if we try to sugarcoat it and make it look better,” said Ayla.
She advises traditionally-minded young men to be defiant, but also patient with young women, citing her personal experience and claiming that it was her own husband’s refusal to give in to her ‘feminist nonsense’ that helped her transition to a conservative and totally change her worldview.
“Men need to be patient with women.
“Women are very emotional, in general, we’re not hyper logical in a way that many men are.
“We need strong, male leadership to help guide us.
“We need men to stand up and stay ‘No’ on political policies and social policies.
“Right now we need men to be patient with us and to realise that the more men give in to womens’ demands, the worse it makes us,” said Ayla.
She continues to further elaborate on her position by making a very simple analogy.
“In general we [women] are like a child that demands ice cream.
“And if you give them ice cream, then they want two scoops of ice cream, and you give them two scoops of ice cream and then they want a cookie.
“A lot of men who are married know that.
“I think this is a survival instinct – I think we have like an instinct to push you guys into providing for us as much as we can get out of you.
The Mormon mommy of six believes that it’s pointless to give into women’s demands, because there would be no end to it.
“So build me a house.
“Ok, now get me a horse.
“Now get me a buggie.
“And back in the day it was good, because it would motivate men to do more.
“Men would be eager to please their wives,” said Ayla.
She believes that young men need to find a soft balance, somewhere in the middle, where they could be firm on their stance and not give into ridiculous demands set by their female partners, while at the same time being polite and gentle.
“And again – that’s a natural instinct that helps men and women survive in a more traditional manner.
“But in modern society it’s just turned into this neurotic thing where women are like pushing, pushing, pushing – men are giving in, giving in, giving in.
“So men need to be patient with women, but be strong.
“Set some boundaries – politically and socially for women.
“Do it in a kind way, but at the same time in a strong way,” advises the young woman. But not all men are eager to make such efforts. Very recently a radical movement has appeared in the United States, which has now gone internationally. It’s called ‘MGTOW’, which stands for ‘Men Go Their Own Way’. The name is self-explanatory – the movement was created by and for men; it staunchly opposes modern Feminism and its followers believe that it is far better for young men to stay single instead of risk having their hearts broken and/or get divorced and likely not get custody over their children. Although MGTOW has never claimed any political affiliations, it has attracted, arguably, a minority of the Alt-Right and the right-wing populist circles.

Ayla says that she is well aware of the MGTOW phenomenon, but she vehemently oposses it and advises young men to take a chance on a woman, instead of ‘going their own way.”
“And as far as men giving up on women and saying ‘Oh, there are no good women, I can’t find a good woman,’ well, you’ve got two choices: you can take a risk on a woman or let your genetics die out.
“So if I was a man I would take a risk on a woman.
“Just try to find the best woman you can, be patient but firm, hopefully she’ll come around.
“My husband was very patient, but firm with me.
“He didn’t give into my demands when I was a feminist, but he was very patient and kind,” says Ayla.
She believes that it was her husband’s patience and firm stance that prevented her to go furhter far to the Left.
“I became conservative before he did and I became Alt-Right before him, but he was kind of the thing that didn’t let me go off the deep end, if that kind of makes sense.
“He was like my rock.
“And that’s what you kind of have to be – be her rock and just help her along as best as you can.
“And maybe you’ll never get the perfect traditional wife who’s greeting you at the door with cupcakes when you come home from work, but if you can get a good enough wife, then your life would be so much happier than living in your mom’s basement, ranting on your computer about how awful women are,” said the Mormon wife.
Ayla concludes that men should simply take a risk and make the best, otherwise men would have nothing to live for. She also reminds youngsters that even if their marriage doesn’t work out, they would most likely still have kids and would have something worth living for.
“So just go out there and seize the moment – seize the best woman you can find.
“Make the best of it.
“Maybe it doesn’t work out, but at least you tried and if you have a couple of kids, then you have something worth living for.
“Because if you don’t have any kids, what are you doing?
“You’re not doing anything, you don’t have anything worth living for,” said Ayla.
