Surprise! The men who want women to be submissive and domestic aren’t really motivated by protection or tradition - but by hostile sexism

Rescripted

For research published in Psychology of Women Quarterly, study authors surveyed 595 men about their familiarity with and opinions on trad wife content. According to their findings, men with attitudes of hostile sexism were more likely to support the trad wife ideology.

A UNLV study of 595 young men found support for the tradwife movement is linked to hostile sexism, not just old-fashioned chivalry, researchers say.

What's the first thing you did today? You may have hit the gym, made a nutritious breakfast, or rushed out the door to work, but I bet my bottom dollar that it was preceded by a five minute scroll on your phone — am I right?

Evening, as the setting sun paints the sky red. The savory aroma of soybean paste stew fills the house, and as the front door opens, a wife and children greet with, "Welcome home." Such a warm evening is likely the scene that traditional male breadwinners once dreamed of. However, these days, with the collapse of awareness about traditional gender roles and the prevalence of dual-income households, such scenes have become a thing of the past.

Last week the movement got a reality check. Psychology of Women Quarterly published a paper from UNLV that pulled a hand-knotted rug from under the foundation myth of tradwives - that her (trad) husband will guide and protect her. No, far from the 'benevolent sexism' exhibited in this idea that women are vulnerable and need protection, the study revealed the 'hostile sexism' of husbands.

Scary Mommy

When our grandmothers were young, the entire point of being a woman was to become a perfect, happy little homemaker. To take care of the kids and the house, but ultimately, to take care of a husband, who deserved to end the day in a domain exactly fluffed to his liking. It’s a very specific nostalgia for that kind of energy that has fueled the #tradwife movement. The social media “trend” has pushed women to do things like cater to their husbands’ every need, spend all of their time and energy on the home and their family, and put themselves last. And a study published in Psychology of Women Quarterly has found that the men who most want a #tradwife... are also men who seem to view women the worst.
