A Tradwife refers to a woman who fulfills a traditional gender role based on Western middle-class femininity of the mid twentieth century.[1][2] TradWives is a growing movement of women who promote ultra-traditional gender roles.
The tradwife movement advocates or demonstrates a return to traditional gender roles as a way to reverse the ill effects of feminism. It is promoted by both advocates for traditional gynocentrism, and those who promote non-gynocentric forms of traditionalism, in which men and women are called to adhere to strict ‘gender roles’ – eg. he is head of household who goes out and earns the money and protects her, while she makes babies, apple pies, and keeps the house clean. Its what many people refer to as the ‘two-spheres doctrine’ in which men and women are apportioned sovereignty over different realms – he over the political and social realm, and she over the domestic realm. This, argue the advocates of traditional gender roles, creates a delicate but eminently workable balance that has stood the test of time." [3]
