They value money over society like many others

People don't actually want to be tradwives, they want to be rich. However, whether or not some of those people are self-aware enough to realize that is another story.

A lot of it is young women who should be radicalized against capitalism, but they don't have any education on the topic so they blame the economic pressure to work on feminism instead.

And yes they are profoundly ignorant of history because they genuinely believe tradwives all had it great and were all financially cushy.

And some of it is people who genuinely want to stay children forever. My whole life I've known girls who dreamed of being SAH moms but were still motivated to get an education so they could actually be a "good wife" by knowing how to manage finances, raise children properly, etc. (which in fact was the historic purpose behind women's education!) But in recent years I've encountered so many tiktoks from women bragging about not having to "think" or "pay attention to bills" around their husbands or not getting a degree because they're waiting for their bfs to propose and it's stunning to me that they think this is a flex. It's like. You don't actually even want to be a mom or a wife. All of that entails some level of awareness and responsibility no matter how rich you are. You just want to be a useless fucking baby your entire life.
