As a man, I probably don't have the best credentials to comment on the subject. But here is what intrigued me.

I came across the term "tradwife" only a couple of weeks ago, and I had to look up what it meant. Since I don't follow the TikTok freak shows, I wasn't opinionated one way or the other about it. Tradwives, in my eyes, were women in a more traditional gender role, either by choice, necessity, or any other reason one might think of. I had no negative connotation with the term. Your article has changed that. Not because I'm now opposed to "tradwiving" but because of the polarisation that comes with such labels. It implies that either you are a tradwife or you aren't (as a woman). And those self-proclaimed tradwife evangelists that you mentioned, those who feel the need to broadcast their choice AND their religious excuse, these are the ones who, I feel, do the most damage to the gender role discussion. This whole "subservience to the husband" BS that comes on top of that is appalling. Of course, it doesn't, and it shouldn't go down well with women. But for the majority of couples, the splitting of tasks along some gender line comes naturally and a lot more nuanced than what the dichotomy of tradwife-or-not suggests. When I met my wife 35 years ago, she was a successful career woman, who had been brought up in very traditional Chinese family in Singapore. The traditional gender role AND the job meant no conflict. We shared the household tasks and I took over the cooking part, for example, because she didn't know how to. Over the following 35 years, we have evolved into a couple that runs their business together, where I concentrate on my research work which is my strength, and she concentrates on hers, accounting and admin, and she keeps me free from most household tasks, because my time is better used for doing my work. My wife does not regret any of the decisions we made along that path, and we hope to keep going for another 35 years (though, biologically, that's rather wishful thinking). I asked my wife whether she knew the term tradwife, and she didn't. And when I explained to her what it meant, her response was deadpan: "What's wrong with that? As long as you do as I tell you, everything is fine."
