Tradwife movement 'attracts men who are hostile to women'

[valleyrogue]

16. No sane woman drops out of the labor market to be financially dependent on a man.

The ONLY valid reason for staying at home temporarily is to save on child care costs. Women who do this are literally unemployed--not workers but dependents--and are treated as such by law and by employers. There is no point women getting all defensive about this and claiming they are doing "unpaid labor" and think they should be compensated when everybody does the same thing regardless if they are employed.

The "tradwives" the media brag about are not "traditional" at all--they are self-employed, often making big bucks, as content creators or "influencers." Not the same thing as so many women were saddled with in the 1950s through the early 1970s.

Besides, the "housewife" or "homemaker" was an aberration and anything but "traditional."
