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.
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.
