  1. Being a tradwife does often mean doing practically all of the cooking and cleaning, but it does not mean getting up at 4 am to make food from scratch everyday. Just like the satire video you showed, these people seem to have a very warped idea of what it really entails, and so they either assume or even live by a ridiculous stereotype. Their loss. Most of us who live a traditional life know that it can be extremely fulfilling for both men and women alike.

  2. I'm with the tradwives. My wife and I have lived this way for 17 years (14 with a son) and we're both very glad we did! As for being "financially independent", it's time to admit there's no such thing. Whether it's a husband, an employer (who's usually a male), or customers (if you run your own business), you're going to have to do for others if you want money. But a traditional husband is socially expected to actually care about your well-being long-term, while an employer isn't.

  3. I've been debating this with feminists for a month or so now. To me, it's very telling that the single most common criticism I get from them isn't "Being a tradwife is worse for x, y, and z reason"; it's actually "it's unrealistic/impossible". Not only is this false but it's kind of sad that so many have just given up on that dream entirely.

  4.  @uhhhhh4748  "They're making fun of the trad wife influencers, who until a couple years ago were on only fans," I can only think of one of them that applies to. No, they're trying to make fun of tradwives who go public with their lifestyle in general. "They're not talking about all stay at home moms." That part is true. They're only mocking those stay-at-home moms and wives who put in more effort to make sure they're good ones.

  5.  @ambivelent-artist  Exactly. I've heard some odd stereotypes of tradwives, but that one's just crazy.

  6. Nothing wrong with trad wives being "influencers" either. You should promote something if you think it's the better way. So long as it doesn't interfere with your role of taking care of the home and any children you have, it's not just okay but commendable.

  7. I would add that, when it comes to the suicide rates among trans people, part of the blame rests with those who tell trans people that those who disagree with them hate them. I can think of no faster way to make someone suicidal, than to convince them most of the people around them each day hates their guts.

  8. "She" is correct. And the people who would call you incorrect for saying "she" are the same ones who can never give objective, workable definitions for their terms at all. It's not even logically possible to be incorrect in using terms with no objective standards in place for them.

  9. There's a difference between a simple stay-at-home wife and a traditional wife. Tradwives believe it's their role to take care of the home (cooking, cleaning, decorating, etc.) and any children they have. Also common for them to homeschool whereas an employed mother doesn't. So they're going to put way more effort into homemaking and caretaking of the children than a woman working several hours a day elsewhere. "Grit, hard work, and ambition" are all fine and good, but where to aim all that is the topic.

  10. It's actually impossible for any of us to know if we "feel like" a man or "feel like" a woman, because we have no basis for that comparison. We've all only been just the one gender, so we'd have no way of knowing the difference between "feeling like" a man vs. "feeling like" a woman, or indeed if there is such a difference at all.

  11. The tradwives are right. My wife and I have lived this way for 17 years (14 with a son) and we're both very glad we did! As for being "financially independent", it's time to admit there's no such thing. Whether it's a husband, an employer (who's usually a male), or customers (if you run your own business), you're going to have to do for others if you want money. This means everyone submits to at least someone, and employees in particular submit to tons of people all the time. But a traditional husband is socially expected to actually care about your well-being long-term, while an employer isn't.

  12. "It makes your child more likely to enter and stay in an abusive relationship." They never give studies to back this one up! But I would say that a woman wanting a traditional marriage will be especially looking for a traditional husband type, one who believes it's his role to provide and protect. And in general, there are ways of vetting someone for abusive tendencies before you marry them. Ironically enough, courting (a very traditional concept) is ideal, because you ask the important questions right away on the first date, instead of waiting until after you've "falling in love" with them. The modern approach to dating facilitates getting married to someone you're not compatible with.

  13. Men shouldn't be expected to deal with everything in silence, literally never expressing our emotions. But we are typically the strongest of the two genders physically, so it will typically be up to us to protect the family from threats. We can't do that if we're in the habit of expressing emotions as opposed to being more calculated and focused on the practical issue (physical threats that need to be dealt with physically) at hand. No, it isn't healthy for us as individuals but neither are many things adults in general (men and women) should be doing for the sake of their families. If your top priority is your children, that just means sacrificing parts of yourself for them. Ideally you will find a way to replenish yourself as you go, but if not, you still have to do what you have to do.
