What? "Tradwife" certainly has a definiton. At issue has been your insistence that wanting a "tradhusband" which isn't a thing, or at least one you can define, is somehow exactly the same, even though the latter doesn't restrict men's participation in either the public or private sphere.
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time. --Frank Wilhoit
For crying out loud. Obviously when I said one vas vague, I was talking about the traditional man in that post.
My insistince has been that this strict "textbook" misogynistic definition isn't what some men mean by traditional woman/wife either. It can be vague too.At issue has been your insistence that wanting a "tradhusband" which isn't a thing, or at least one you can define, is somehow exactly the same, even though the latter doesn't restrict men's participation in either the public or private sphere.

The person you responded to was talking about tradwife (so far as I can tell, since you referenced traditional women in the sentence prior). And no, that hasn't been your insistence at all. Your whole complaint was: why is it fine that totally real women on dating sites want a traditional man--as yet undefined beyond "wants a traditional woman"--but everyone freaks out when men want tradwives.

For a productive discussion, the definitions are necessary.
Tradwife =
Tradhusband =
Please complete, or abandon ship.

For the last time: they're both vague. People have a variety of different opinions and they don't derive them from a wikipedia article.
Remember this brain fart?Traditional Women from when? The 1920’s? 1950’s? 1980’s?
Cultural norms are an ever changing ideal. What women were perceived as only 20 years ago is much different from 50 years ago. And what women were perceived as 50 years ago is much different than 100 years ago.
So which tradition is this referring to? Pending on the decade, results may vary.

Then a discussion regarding an undefined concept is really difficult to have. If the foundation doesn’t exist there is no common ground in which to discussion different opinions on.
In the end. This discussion is in regards to something that hardly exists, and serves no purpose.

if you want a "tradwife", you had better make enough money to support her & the "traditional" 5 kids or whatever.
otherwise just comes across like guys want a surrogate mommy to wipe their butts.

Damn, they were just open about their foot fetishes in the 50's.Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes.
AND ASMR? Man, all this new kink shit has its root in "traditional" housewives!Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.
1950'S, STOP BEING SO INCORRIGABLLY HORNY!Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him.
This is probably one of the more unrelated whataboutisms I've ever seen in a thread, considering there is no equivalent to all of the tradwife talk going around.
Men already have the freedom to do what they want. Nobody is trying to force them into a single life-role. That's the entire point of this. Are you upset at some actual political movement to shoehorn men into single life-roles, or are you merely upset that some women have preferences?
Here's the thing: People are allowed to have preferences in who they marry in life. Nobody has ever questioned that. As has been stated many times, if a guy wants a tradwife, he is free to look for and date one. If a woman has some preference, she has the same freedom. What people really care about are semi-political movements that are attempting to shame women back into a traditional homemaker role.
On the topic of this though, the tradwife meme has been evolving. While the alt-right has been churning out tradwife material, the opposition has been firing back with their own material. Previously, the alt-right made the "tradwife" vs "the liberated woman" images with a couple of the meme women. Not sure if they have names or not. The response has simply been to make the tradwife and liberated woman lovers. And it has worked to glorious effect at enraging the alt-right.

Tradwife has been very thoroughly defined in this thread, and why it has gained sudden momentum.
You started whining about women wanting a traditional husband, probably without even checking the relevance of the whole discussion in the first place.
You then started complaining that nobody is following you, when the only points you've made in this thread are to whine about women wanting traditional husbands.
You also didn't even define traditional husband. The tradwife definition has been provided in this context. What is your context of traditional husband? Why are you even whining about women wanting traditional husbands? Nobody has shamed anyone for their taste in a life partner in this thread, and you seem to be thinking that's what this is about. You seem to think it's some kind of anti-male thread shaming men for wanting traditional wives, when in reality it's shaming the people who want to force women into traditional roles.
THINK MAN, THINK.
DID YOU EVEN READ THE THREAD?
DID YOU EVEN TRY TO GRASP THE SUBJECT MATTER BEFORE YOU JUMPED IN AND STARTED WHINING?
Because from where I and basically everyone else are standing, you didn't do any of those things. Including think. All you did was smash out some words on a keyboard based on an emotional response you had.
