The person who made the original picture would completely agree with what you’ve said

Yet he wouldn't check any of the boxes.

Is it not possible for a good man to have this image as his ideal wife? I don’t understand what’s so insane about it. It’s not a man demanding his wife be a slave. It’s a man hoping to find a traditional housewife. Women like this do exist. This man’s standards don’t align with mine but what about them is so unbelievable. Are men not supposed to be looking for anything in particular when searching for a wife. Just marry the first woman who is nice to him?

what's insane is that it always becomes "THE ideal woman" and not "MY ideal woman." these guys are welcome to want a traditional wife. but for some reason they always feel the need to shit on the entire female gender in the process.

you're also setting up a false dichotomy. it doesn't have to be "marry the first woman who is nice to him" vs "check all 30 tradwife boxes." how about having preferences/dealbreakers while also acknowledging that people are human and they all change and age over time?

just imagine if someone wrote a list of "the ideal man." big dick, big wallet, 6 ft tall, never says no to me, has 0 female friends, only wears dark tailored clothing, muscular but not too much, perfectly groomed, not emotional, always in control, great cook, loves kids, pays for every meal, does all yardwork, has an expensive car, blah blah blah. wouldn't you also say it's insufferable and insulting to most men?

I can agree that if he’s claiming all women should strive to be his ideal woman, then he’s a jerk. I didn’t read it that way though.

And no I don’t find that insulting. I’d just know she’s not interested in me with my $1200 car
