I just finished it. I know a lot of evangelical women who aspire to tradwifery even if the live in cities or towns. Stay home, have lots of babies, praise god loudly, and never ever complain or you’ll upset god and he will take it all away from you.

And those tradwives will tell you that being submissive and letting a man have his way with your body is the only way to sexual satisfaction (only with husband of course). The idea is a submissive woman makes her man more masculine and that’s the Thing being sought. His masculinity is the prize she’s supporting.

I kept getting flashes of Pioneer Woman while reading. Rhee Drummond started this all with her folksy down homey aww shucks coulda been a lawyer but I’m a tradwife instead. Drummond married into a hugely wealthy ranching family and has all this fakery going on in the background of her cooking/lifestyle brand, including lots of cringe episodes where they cook for their immigrant ranch hands and look down magnanimously on their handiwork of serving the needy.
