Don't get it tbh. Cooking and cleaning and other house chores should be a shared effort, gender roles are dumb.

Here's one. Tell me you wouldn't love to come home to her after a long day of working your ass off. House is clean, hot dinner on the stove waiting for you, grateful wife who is happy to see you. Sure it's not for everyone and it doesn't have to be. Dunno why some people get so offended about it.

Stay at home partners (male or female idc) would make sense if it were possible to survive on one income. These days it's damn near impossible

Yeah. I though homemakers or stay at home moms/dads have been a thing forever.

Are people thinking this is something new because they put a new name on it?

My assumption is that after 30 (40?) years of trying to break gender stereotypes, celebrating being a homemaker has a seen as a step backwards?

No, that's the issue. It was a common thing that became less common and then resurfaced.

Of course now it's just kneecapping your earnings so it won't work for most people.

I tend to think it's fucking creepy to want your wife to be a slave who thinks of nothing but you and does nothing but serve you. Plus it's pathetic to not be able to live your life without the fawning adoration of a person who is entirely dependent upon you for their existence.

It's also psychologically weird to want to do it.

We can't live like it's the 1950s anymore. The world is too different. It's damn near impossible to live in a single income household.

That said, if you can make it work, and choose to be a housewife, that's fine. Choose being the operative word there. The problem arises when outside forces try to force people to live a certain way.

Seems like guys who want this want to have their cake and eat it, too. That is, expect her to keep the home and do all the housework while still working a full-time job away from the house, while the guys themselves contribute nothing to the housework.

It's fine if you want to be a stay at home partner. But the whole "tradwife" thing is stupid. Especially the part about emulating the 1950's... You know, the time period where women barely had any rights. Had limited control of their own earning, couldn't buy or sell property, etc. Because they were basically treated as property of their "superior" husbands.

So it's bizarre to talk about not being lesser than their husbands, while simultaneously emulating a time period where women were treated as lesser than their husbands. You can enjoy being a housewife without making these contradictions because you're focused on a very specific lifestyle.

Women (or anyone) doing what they love and want to do is never a step backwards. If this is forced upon them, that would be a step backwards.

Lets also keep in mind were passing judgment based off how it is being presented by people on TikTok and is (most likely) not based on any sort of reality.
