Maybe the title is a little extreme, but I (19f) was talking about this with my bf and a group of friends at dinner today, and I made a comment about how classes are stressful and career outlook is bleak, and becoming a tradwife was looking more and more appealing.
Now, I was only kind of half joking, but the idea has swirled on my head for a bit. However, almost everyone at that table said that it was such a step backwards for a woman who is receiving the change to go to college etc to give that all up to become a traditional wife under the control of a man, losing all autonomy etc.
One person went so far as to even say I was supporting misogyny, which I mean I thought was pretty far. So I come to you, wise married people, to please enlighten me. Was I wrong to suggest this? Maybe I wasn’t fully aware of what tradwife meant?
