What if we took gender out of the discussion… We would potentially see that ‘tradwives’ aren’t necessarily into being dominated or controlled by men, but that they want freedom to allow the suppressed feminine flow and moment-by-moment to emerge. What if they could earn enough money doing that, would they still need the ‘protective masculine’ if they could become their own protection? Considering that gender is a social construct, it makes these concepts very confusing to define.
