    I think this is where a lot of right wing women come from though. I’m convinced the entire tradwife thing is “I’m lonely so I’ll make myself the perfect house spouse so that I feel like I matter to someone”

      I feel like that’s more likely to be a post hoc rationalization. They’re scared of being lonely against so they adopt a tradwife persona to cope with being in a relationship with a misogynistic jerk.

      I find the ones who go tradwife ideologically are either raised in it, became that way because of trauma, or are confusing a sub sexual fetish for politics.

        Yeah, I don’t feel like there’s a huge network of tradwives trying to radicalize other women. I mean I’m sure there are a few, but it mostly seems like they are just content creators trying to cater to people who already hold similar values.

        I think the dangerous aspect of the “Male Loneliness Epidemic^tm” is how evangelizing the community is. There are so many right winged grifters brainwashing young men into believing that all their problems stem from women having rights, and their loneliness has nothing to do with a society and economic model in decay.

          while it’s nowhere near the scale of the masc chud-o-sphere, a lot of tradwife tumblr is definitely trying to radicalize other (cis) women
