The tradwife is a fetish character.
Think about that. Women ALWAYS worked. Even going back to the middle ages or whatever, aside from doing household chores, women would have a side hustle. They’d knit stuff and sell it at the market or sell vegetables they grew in the garden. Some of the more fecund women would nurse the children of nobles, because the queen’s tiddies are too precious to be touched by a baby’s mouth.
In the Industrial Revolution factory owners wanted to employ women and children because they were smaller and could fit into all the nooks and crannies of the machines. Men were also members of trade guilds and had to be paid a certain amount, so they would hire women and children so they could undercut their pay. That’s why mandatory schooling was invented. Organized labor in the 19th and early 20th century waged real war, with guns and people dying, to get kids out of factories so men could make more money.
The one time when we didn’t have a large number of women working was after the Second World War when the US bombed every other nation into smithereens and a single man could now afford to pay for a wife, four kids, a dog, a GI Bill subsidized house, two cars, and a vacation every year. And because household chores were now automated, women sat around being bored and divorces skyrocketed.
Even in the 20s and 30s, and in rural areas into the 60s even, housework was manual labor. Clothes had to be sewn by hand, now they’re bought on the Internet. Clothes had to be washed by hand, with harsh chemicals that rotted flesh on corrugated scrub boards, and that took all day, now you can go to the laundromat and do a month’s worth of laundry in an afternoon. Food was grown in a garden, and people had chicken coops even in cities, and they baked their own bread and preserved vegetables and meats, now you go to the store and it’s ready made, or if you’re rich you get meal prep kits off the Internet and that only takes minutes. You’re not spending four hours a day baking bread and harvesting eggs and slaving away over a hot stove. Floors had to be scrubbed by hand, now robots clean them for us while we’re away.
What’s the tradwife doing at home all day when a week’s worth of chores is now done in a single afternoon, if that?
And don’t say she’s raising the kids. What happens after they turn 5 or whatever and they go off to school? Say you have four kids and the youngest is just starting school, what do you do the 8 hours they’re away? Sit and drink wine and post on onlyfans.
And don’t pretend the real tradwives are homeschooling their kids. I remember Covid. All the people who for years brayed the loudest “You have to homeschool your kids!” the second the schools were closed down due to Covid those same people were the first to bray “Get these monsters out of my house and open the damn schools already!” The very same people who evangelized homeschooling were the ones demanding public schools open again so they can dump their kids on the teachers they claim to despise so much.
So, what exactly does the tradwife do all day? Live in some anarchoprimitivist Ted Kaczynski utopia? Are they really living in a log cabin in the woods with no electricity, knitting their own clothes, washing them in a bucket, growing their own food? Of course not. They’re posting naked pictures on the Internet and banging Chad and Tyrone while the husband is off at work and the kids are in school, and if you think she’s not you’re delusional. The tradwife is attracted to the tradlife because she can’t get a richer/sexier man at the moment.
