“I would cook parmesan chicken and film it on Instagram and say, ‘I’m being a good wife, here are my pies
how does it happen that anyone watches that? her’s a pie… and ??
my GF’s a chef, she grows lots of fruit and veg, (i help with the heavy lifting) she bakes cakes, bread, cookies and cooks superb meals, works part time as a chef for 4 months a year, we hike, mountain bike ride, go fishing, kayak, wild swimming, she catches crabs byerself in a her little fishing kayak and we travel for 8 months a year overseas. Not one bit of that would be interesting to anyone else ffs.
why is this even a thing.

If you mean your life, I think you underestimate the number of people who daydream about a lifestyle that lets them travel 8 months a year (or at all), and the closest they can get is watching someone else do it
Yeah, you’re 100% wrong about no one being interested in watching that. There’s hundreds or thousands of YouTube channels that do exactly this.
This man living a dream with a wife that has a hobby job. “Why would anybody interested in a perfect life?” Idk try and figure it out.
Mate your life sounds idyllic, if I were still on social media I’d watch the shit out of your life vlogs to live vicariously through yours and your wife’s so for a brief moment mine felt less mundane.
A lot of people wouldn’t work if they could still fund a good life style, big chunk of those would like to do homely things instead like cooking and gardening. Its aspirational fantasy content, as long as they ignore or stay ignorant of the bad aspects of being a trad-wife that apply to many of them.
Could most people do this stuff while working? Assuming they have the space, equipment, skills, and aren’t completely destroyed by work. Obviously there are those that would like to do this who have those but when it actually comes to putting in a sustained effort they dont because of laziness, or lack of skill, etc.
It’s the same reason why people watch trash TV and other ridiculous shit: Entertainment is opium for the dumb.
Propaganda. Why does the guardian hate their readers? Time and time again one person earning and one person working the home proves to be the optimal family arrangement. Children in these families consistently outperform children in any other arrangement in all areas. Following the advice of the guardian is hurting your kids, permanently.

The article isn’t about how having one person do money work for corporations and another do actual work for people is a bad arrangement, but specifically about the “trad” movement as it relates to the alt-right and their backwards views on men, women, and children. And how it’s just… Not a good time.
“I no longer believe in extreme gender roles, especially when they’re wrapped in spiritual language and used to justify control, silence or harm.”
That’s a snip of the ideology that’s being contested. Notice it has nothing to do with the value of housework or how a single wagie should be able to support a nuclear family.
The article isnt about that, its about rigid gendernorms. You didnt even read it
Fool
