Many embrace being a "trad wife," short for traditional wife. There's also TERFs.
Just go to your nearest Pentecostal and/or Evangelical Church and you're going to find a congregation full of such women (and men.) These people make up about a third to maybe a half of Trump's base. Warning: they mostly all openly hate lgbtq, and they'll do it from the podium to a cheering congregation. If you're any sort of 'out of the closet' I do not suggest going.
There's also this company called Barna research. They're the biggest religious research institution in the world. And they also own a ton of companies (subsidiaries). Some of which produce these weekly planners for churches of all sorts of denominations. They are remarkably similar in their talking points over every Sunday in the year - all 52 of them.
It's almost prophetic how relevant they can be (probably due to the prevalence).... Very conservative/traditional messaging. Very doom and gloom - that the end is coming, and the world's going to shit. Very anti-progressive/anti-socialism even anti-Jesus' teachings! And it's the same core messaging and talking points whether it's a Lutheran Church or Catholic Church or whatever....
