As evidenced by the popularity of "Yesteryear," a subculture of "traditional wives" is making big waves in the culture wars.

A cottage industry of women are selling courses aligned with a conservative movement that claims feminism is the source of women’s discontent

For the first time, a study has examined the "Tradwife" trend. Instead of the expected "benevolent paternalism," the study leaders encountered enormous devaluation of women.

The tradwife aesthetic, as it’s sold to women, is easy enough to understand. In our world of social media addiction and dead-end wage labor, it can be tempting to find comfort in the sourdough fantasy of post-war soda ads: a retreat to a simpler, if not archaic, time in recent history.

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."

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.
