Wtf is with this submissive women trend recently?

[lousyanxiety]

I'm seeing this everywhere on social media atm. Young women talking about returning to the "natural feminine state" of being "submissive" to your partner. It seems to include leaving your job, becoming a stay at home wife (or even girlfriend), cooking and cleaning for your partner, tending to all his needs, and leaving him in control of all the finances and difficulty of life.

Basically, you need to tap into your "divine feminine" energy to bring out a mans "masculine" energy to make him provide for you, take care of you, and stay loyal to you. And a woman who has "masculine" energy (aka provides for herself and is independent) will never truly be happy 🤔
Apparently the idea that women could have it all - career, kids, happy marriage etc was a lie and it's easier to just rely on a partner...
Whats so crazy about this is its WOMEN saying this stuff.

I mean... I thought we'd got past this mentality a long effing time ago??? Surely this is only going to benefit the man in the long run.

Is this a movement thats stemming from these alpha male podcasts? What is happening?

@Terfydactyl I get what you're saying, I just don't like how the general consensus seems to be that stay at home parents and housewives are just live in servants who offer sexual favours (as another poster put it).

A PP on another thread about the same subject summed it up for me:

The ladies I know who identify as 'trad wives' I believe the idea is more about occupying the home and doing everything concerned with it (cooking, cleaning, childcare, life admin, etc) while the husband goes out to work to provide a financial income. It's a partnership where each person occupies a different sphere to make a successful family unit.

There will always be people who take things to extremes. The vast majority of women who chose traditional roles in the home don't fall under this category.

A small part of me can see the appeal of leaving all the responsibility of work and providing for the family to another. I'd love to never have to think about finances, though obviously it's unwise to be so dependant on someone else.

The rest of it though? Being submissive, doing 100% of childcare? Definitely not for me!!

This thread isn’t about SAHP who presumably have opinions and contribute to the decision making. It’s about Submissive wives who seemingly don’t.

@Divebar2021 You're right but some posters are lumping everyone together.
