Over the past few years, I've written about trad wives ad nauseam.

I wrote an open letter to the guy on TikTok wondering where all the "real women" went. I wrote about why this generation of women is choosing to stay single and childless. I wrote about how historically, the trad wife is a myth; she didn't exist in the 1950s, and she sure as hell doesn't exist now.

I had hoped that time, rational thought, and the plummeting economy would nip this trend in the bud - but with Christian nationalism on the rise, it's only gotten worse.

Last year, a pastor went viral for saying that he "does not need to get [his] wife's permission to get physical," and that "'you may kiss the bride' is an ongoing permission." (Please note that as of 1993, marital rape is illegal in all 50 states.)

Some men are still obsessed with the idea of marrying a "traditional woman" who loves cooking, cleaning, and child-rearing as much as she loves pleasing her husband. But here's what those men fail to realize:

Even if we wanted to be traditional wives, we logistically couldn't unless we had traditional husbands.

Do you, good sir, meet the criteria to qualify as a traditional husband?
