Personally, I find it ironic that these so-called "trad-wives" are raking in cash hand-over-fist by going on social media

I agree that making your own home life into a type of reality show for influence, likes, and money is in fact at odds with the ideals that traditional homemaking represents. It is not surprising that people find this hypocritical - social media tends to rot everything it touches!

Yet the ideals themselves remain, and would remain even if it were not fashionable.

Trad wife movement vs working wives?

BTW: the notion that a traditional wife doesn't work is preposterous.  Just because she doesn't bring home a paycheck does it mean that she's sitting on the couch all day eating bonbons. 

The so-called tradwife life, is a lot harder to do than going to the office for eight hours.  Hard but very rewarding, you get to raise your children instead of a stranger raising your children! , for instance.  

The idea that stay at home mom doesn't work is insulting and nonsense.

a tradwife life was once the norm, and if you ask me was much more civilized than today's lifestyle - choices...

If you marry expecting to separate, you should not get married.

There is a difference between "expecting to separate" versus protecting yourself in case one's spouse is no longer around.  A spouse can die or become disabled or be an innocent victim of a separation.  What then?
