A horrendous alt-right influencer who encouraged “traditional” gender roles realized that practicing what she preached made her feel enslaved.

    I have two main thoughts on this first is that most of the people really into this are just in denial about their sexual submissive tendencies. They want to be dominated in bed and / or bossed around since it turns them on. They don’t want to admit this since that would be against what “good girls want” so they decide its easier to adopt this crazy ideology instead. This of course backfires since the only men who are interested in this are abuses assholes. Everyone else would self select out and would rather have their spouse be equal outside the bedroom. So of course they are miserable since only assholes would sign up for this. A feminist man would happily dominate her as an equal. Its about power over vs power with.

      It is dangerous to speculate on other folk’s sexuality/kinks. That is how you get outside the realm of consent. Instead, go on what we know. We know conservative Christians extol the tradwife vales and there are books that have been written about this very subject for decades.

        I know I am just guessing about it being about kink but it feels that way based on how people interact with it. The Trad Wife influencers has too much sexualized content currently to be about biblical values.

      I mean, it’s possible to have a happy, healthy, 24/7 D/s relationship. Not that you’re wrong about the rest of it; the people who get into the tradwife thing think “consent” is a dirty word.

        Exactly its all about consent. There is nothing wrong with 24/7 D/s relationships but they are really uncommon. Most people who fantasize about them don’t even want them. Its Olympic level stuff so you got to be on the top of your game in every aspect. Not for everone
