00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:43.520 Why so much criticism over how somebody wants a dress? 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:52.639 What their sexual orientation is, how they just choose to identify regarding their gender, and so on and so forth. 00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:57.680 Well, let's use the example of trad wives. 00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.919 You may ask, what is the true definition of a trad wife? 00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:19.120 Well, trad wife is short for traditional wife, generally referring to a woman who embraces a more traditional division of marital roles, where the husband is typically the primary breadwinner. 00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:34.879 The wife focuses mainly on home on homemaking, such as cooking, cleaning, and raising children, and she may emphasize traditional femininity, marriage, family, and sometimes religious or conservative values. 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:45.040 Many people criticize this these were the roles that a lot of people had in marriages, traditional marriages way back. 00:04:45.199 --> 00:05:00.720 We're talking about this new generation today, twenty somethings, thirty somethings, who mostly like to post on social media, not all, but this younger generation who say, I've made the choice. 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:27.839 I want to stay home, I want to devote time with my children, I want to cook and clean and have meals ready for my partner, in most cases a man coming home and expecting dinner to be made, lunches to be made, breakfast, all of that, children to be taken care of. 00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:31.519 The gardening is done primarily by the woman. 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:34.319 The cleaning is done primarily by the woman. 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:38.160 But they have chosen this lifestyle. 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:43.680 And again, we're not talking about people who have been controlled and told they have to do this. 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:44.720 No. 00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:54.000 Often many of these women had successful careers, they have their own money, their own bank accounts stashed away. 00:05:54.399 --> 00:06:05.279 If something happened and they were no longer in this relationship with this partner, they do not need to depend on that person's income or finances. 00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.000 They have made this decision. 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:17.120 The two of them, these two adults, have decided to set their relationship or marriage up this way. 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:21.519 Many have stepped forward and said, No, this is what I have chosen. 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:25.759 And so some of them it's simply the preference. 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.079 It's a preference with their partners. 00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:34.959 He enjoys a career, and she says that she enjoys managing the home. 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:39.839 But some people just prefer traditional relationship dynamics. 00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:42.240 Maybe because that's the way they're raised. 00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:43.920 Maybe their parents were like that. 00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:45.839 And then they said, you know what? 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:47.439 That worked for them. 00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:52.639 And I can see why I would like to adopt this lifestyle. 00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.759 Why do people criticize this? 00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:58.079 Well, there's the gender roles. 00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:13.839 Some people see the traditional division of man provides the woman homemakes as reinforcing the idea that men and women should have different roles, rather than simply allowing couples to choose what works for them. 00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:16.160 Then we have
