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.
