Preach it lady! Each can find a path in life that fits them. If you have to be pushed in a role by someone else who then tells you that is the only way for someone like you, you’re not your own person, you’re someone elses property.
Be free!
Personally, I’d prefer living alone to having a tradwife. It sounds so empty and unfulfilling for everyone involved
People who can find meaning in slavery might need to undergo some therapeutic treatment or more imo
At the very least they should get one of those BDSM slave contracts
What do they mean with “trad” anyway. Women used to work. Even noble women worked. They learned to defend their homes, hunt and do the accounts. They didn’t just sit on their backsides and embroidered.
Embroidery is work, too
“Trad” likely refers to legal guardianship of the past, where women were essentially the property of men with no legal autonomy.

It means they don’t like to make choices, have everything be governed by the ‘natural’ order.
They are deathly afraid about every decision they need to make in life and choose for the most comfortable option.
I kinda agree with choosing comfort in your life chooses, however actively choosing a trad wife lifestyle is a lot like saying freedom of speech doesn’t matter because you’ve nothing to say.
Sometimes when people are given a choice, large numbers of people do choose something that isn’t good for them. For example, look at diet and exercise. If being healthy is so awesome and natural, why is the obesity rate now so high and still increasing?
I’m not saying that’s also true about modern women’s lifestyles, but the logic of the OP isn’t universally sound.
But using as little energy as possible and consuming as much of it as possible, all else equal, is LITERALLY the natural order. That’s our evolutionary programming. We rely on our big brains to achieve more complex instrumental goals.
OP’s reasoning is sound, because it suggests that certain choices are made out of ignorance and are therefore not rational (i.e., “not natural”).
Ultimately, more information leads to MORE diet and exercise, whereas more information leads to LESS “trad” lifestyle.
This is a gross comment. Posting “people don’t always choose what’s good for them” under a post about women arguing that the trad wife lifestyle shouldn’t be forced on them, reads as though you’re defending forcing that lifestyle onto women if it’s “good for them.”
Eta: the fact that the person I’m replying to has been active on the fediverse since my reply but chosen not to refute my point makes me think I was right about the point they were trying to make.
huh? food companies put addictive sugar/fat/salt combinations in everything now. our brains didn’t evolve for this - like nobody thinks that a cup of granola + milk is like half your daily calorie intake - that’s why people are obese - not because they can’t “choose” to be healthy…
The obesity rate is high and increasing because the environment humans exist in changed. We aren’t fundamentally different biologically than we were 100 years ago. Our food system very much is different from then.
Pretend we’re talking about slavery and see if you’d still feel the same response is valid criticism.
They said “when people are given a choice” and you thought slavery is a good comparison??? Ok Kanye
