She voluntarily embraces traditional marital roles, often choosing to be a submissive homemaker. Simple concept, right? No room for controversy at all!
Everyone should be free to make decisions without violence / coercion. But the idea that a society might have no social pressure regarding women’s choices is unrealistic. That’s what a society is, a system of people working under the same set of social norms. Social norms are those (usually) unwritten rules that are enforced with social sanctions. Sometimes as little as a weird look and sometimes by a complete shunning, which we now call cancelling. Right now the social norm is that a woman should prioritize herself and her career, wait to get married and have 2 maybe 3 children max, in their 30s and get back to their careers asap. And if your husband annoys you than you should divorce him and not stay together for the children. I think they social norms are harmful to children and society. Our birth rates are too low to keep the system going, which was built on the assumption of high birth rates. We are about to have a crisis with the baby boomers retiring and not being able to afford to support them because they had too few children. And it’s not good for children to be alienated from their working mother all day and often their father for long periods of time. Democrats are trying to enforce their social norms have bullying tradwives because they know that examples of happy women will change social norms just like how shows like Sex and the City normalized the status quo. It’s a cultural battle that won’t end until we break up until 2 (or more) societies.
Why a woman (or a man for that matter) working in a dead-end paper shuffling meaningless meetings corporate world is more important and more highly valued than raising children has always baffled me.
I found the most rewarding moments in my life were when I took breaks to be a stay-at-home mom or when I had the opportunity to work from home, despite having three degrees.
Society has many expectations. Men and women are both subject to these expectations. They are simply different for each sex. I use to believe that men had an advantage over women in life things seemed easier for them. However as I have grown older I have realised men are as trapped as women - just in different ways. Life is about understanding each other and valuing our differences. I believe modern society needs to value motherhood more.

I think your analysis is spot on!
Thanks!
