Read some old books, old newspaper articles, listen to historical videos, read old laws, etc., about how life was for women and how they were treated. This tradwife fantasy you see on youtube is only possible in the privileged world we live in nowadays, with plenty of laws offering women financial independence, protection and many rights they did not have before (protection and rights trans activists fight to destroy), and the technology that provides comfortable solutions which makes doing the house chores exceedingly easier and less time consuming, be connected to the big world from your home and earn money with it - again, financial independence (tradwives make money from their YouTube channels and other media promoting their tradwife lifestyle, pretending they are uwu small little wives while making plenty of money out if it. Be certain they secure financial independence for themselves. These actual traditional wives didn't have all that).
Nothing was easy nor glamorous about being a wife who had to take care of the household and the children in an era that didn't have washing machine, food delivery and microwaves, cheap clothes to buy at every corner, epidural and the medicine we have today, disposable diapers, formula and breast pumps, running water even, trying to fit it all with the budget that is the pocket money her husband gives her, not being able to study, not being able to travel on her own, not being able to vote, stripped of agency, considered silly goose, because she were not versed in the serious men world she was not allowed access too, and in some cases, actively encouraged to act like that, at least until she catches a man. These who had time busied themselves with things like knitting patterns and tea parties, things which men looked down on and regard as frivolous nonsense.
Couldn't be financially independent, couldn't work, couldn't control when and if they want to get pregnant, rape in marriage wasn't a thing and women were basically had to put out and shut up, living a life of glorified subservience, were completely dependent on these husbands, who were not always very successful, bright, kind. Violence against women was more common, and women were often belittled and their occupations and interests - which were all they were allowed to do - were disregarded as unimportant and inane. Couldn't study, or were limited to very specific fields, couldn't work "outside" jobs like men or travel like they did, or enjoy a cigar and alcohol outside and talk about business and politics in the company of their peers. Very little agency.
By the way, women in more poor or/and rural places or background did and do work outside home, low status, physical demanding and low earning jobs if there was any earning at all. Working at the fields, selling fish, making food for the men who mostly sit down and socialize (see tribes in Africa), and in more dire situations, have no choice but selling their bodies (again some godforsaken places in Africa). Look at places like Africa or other third world countries and some developing countries as well, and tell me how easy it is to be a woman. Seriously, where do you come up with this shit.
I've helped boost a lot of fundraisers to that end. I fully support any broke-ass nigga who wants to opt out of Clown World in a non-self-destructive way doing so. Smart move, sometimes wish I'd done it myself.
