[Some] young women belong to a small subculture called "tradwives." Short for traditional wives, tradwives aren't your average stay-at-home moms. They sneer at what they consider to be modern-day feminism, with its girlbosses and its ungratifying grind, and wax lyrical about the value of traditional gender roles. Crucially, they promote submission to one's husband, sometimes evoking fundamentalist Christian principles in their beliefs. 2, record 1, English, - tradwife
