‘Submitting to my husband like it's 1959': Why I became a #TradWife

[Rev. Rye]

It occurs to me now that this might be (sometimes) a reaction to internalised homophobia/transphobia - you know, many suffer from paranoid nagging doubts of that ilk regarding their identity because they're "just not happy." Returning to archaic gender roles might provide a "safe" feeling RE that stuff.

It’s a shame that Berry Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique exposed how counterproductive such a single-minded focus on archaic gender roles can be. It can work for some, but to expect this to be the default state women should generally strive for is simply not realistic.
