The Truth About "tradwives" And The Men Who Want Them

Added: 2026-06-01

[00:00:00]Welcome back, tribe. We have an interesting one here. So, it says, "The truth about tradives and the men who want them." So, 60 Minutes Australia is extremely woke. It's most likely going to be a hit piece. I haven't seen it, but I'm interested to see what one of the most gyocentric, gyascist societies on Earth, Australia, has to say about the rise of, I guess you could call them trades. It is an aesthetic, but whatever. Let's see.

[00:00:26]Curious. Coming up on 60 Minutes.

[00:00:30]>> Typical blue and pink jobs, boy jobs, and girl jobs.

[00:00:33]>> Generation oldfashioned.

[00:00:35]>> That means submitting to my husband.

[00:00:37]>> The rise and rise of the tread wife.

[00:00:39]>> Do you see the tread wife movement as a warning?

[00:00:42]>> Absolutely.

[00:00:42]>> I don't think this movement is just led by women.

[00:00:46]>> That's next on 60 Minutes.

[00:00:49]You might think that in 2026, anyone coming out and saying a woman's place is in the home would prompt immediate demands for them to wash their mouths out with soap. But what if the people saying it were in fact the women themselves? Well, that's exactly what's now happening more and more often. It's thanks to a growing movement of so-called tradives, women who, with their husband's blessing or expectation, are choosing to return to traditional household roles.

[00:01:23]>> So bad, I had a choice.

[00:01:25]>> He's the bread winner. She's the bread maker. How does your household work? Who does what? Well, typical blue and pink jobs, but then we are a team at the end of the day.

[00:01:36]>> So, blue and pink jobs, boy jobs, and girl jobs.

[00:01:38]>> Yep. I'd say like me cooking and cleaning. Um Cy's outside doing all of the like yard work and yeah, making the money for us.

[00:01:48]>> The idea of pink and blue jobs might be >> such a nightmare, guys. We're starting off with like a absolute dystopic hell.

[00:01:55]You mean women get to stay at home and just nurture the family and look after the home and not be yelled at by a boss?

[00:02:01]And it's a choice, too. They weren't even forced into it. The all the women are advocating for this. What is happening to this world? It's going to [ __ ] >> Rare these days, but for the Banana Fitches, it's a recipe for wedded bliss.

[00:02:17]>> Come on.

[00:02:18]>> On their Queensland property, Amber does the housework and looks after daughters Mila and Lucia, while husband Cy is in charge of their cash.

[00:02:27]>> Nothing compares to the fulfillment that I feel being at home, being there for my family, supporting my family in my own way.

[00:02:36]Halfway around the world in the US city of Nashville, Jana Elizabeth loves nothing more than cooking and serving breakfast for her husband, Austin Michael. Dear heavenly father, thank you for this day. Thank you for this food.

[00:02:47]>> Being a traditional wife to me is fulfilling my role as a biblical wife.

[00:02:51]And within that means submitting to my husband, serving him as he serves me as well. And my priorities are taking care of the home and making it a home, bringing it peace, cooking, cleaning.

[00:03:02]And you, Austin, what's your role in the household? I like to to see myself as as a provider and protector. Uh like I think men are are a little more we're kind of built for battle or we're built for to endure um so that women don't have to.

[00:03:15]>> So are you the boss, Austin? Are you the leader of the household?

[00:03:18]>> I mean you'd have to ask her.

[00:03:22]>> It sounds like something straight out of the 1950s, but Jana and Amber women who have chosen to revert to traditional gender roles.

[00:03:31]>> Nine 10.

[00:03:32]>> There is 10 eggs.

[00:03:33]You see the language to revert who have chosen to revert regress go back to their lives are look she's collecting eggs at home with her kids. She's she's living a this would be considered a privileged lifestyle today. You mean she doesn't have to go to work and be a cuck for the tax man? You mean she doesn't have to get yelled at by most likely another man at a boss? They're trying so hard to frame this as somehow negative when these women are absolutely winning.

[00:04:06]This is how women were supposed to be at home. Look, collecting eggs from their own chickens. This is not a good [ __ ] [ __ ] for the capitalist society that we're in. They don't consume. She's got her own chickens laying eggs. That's bad for the egg business. They're probably slaughtering them for meat at home, too.

[00:04:25]That's bad for the chicken business. Do you see what happens when you live a more traditional lifestyle? They call it traditional. This the real way we're supposed to be living. And they have semi autonomy from capitalism. They're independent. They don't have to go to the store for every single little thing.

[00:04:43]Their little plot of land is giving them real independence from the capitalist hell hole that we're living in. And they're framing this as somehow negative. How modern women are reverting to tradition. No, it's how they're waking up to the [ __ ] of feminism and capitalism.

[00:05:00]Wow. You mean we don't want to sit in a cubicle under fluorescent lights staring at LED screens every single day? You mean going out with my children to grab fresh chickens, chicken eggs, and whatever else gardens I have in my You mean that's infinitely better. And uh we should stay under the LED frost and light bulb instead. Never mind. That's the nightmare, actually. Hey, hey, don't look over there. Look over here. money, bags, purses, boss babe, TV screens, social media, or just collect eggs with your kids.

[00:05:34]Unreal. They got sold a lie and bought into it so hard, dude, they got screwed.

[00:05:40]>> That would be great for making the cakes. While being a so-called tradife might not be everyone's cup of tea, nor a luxury all can afford, this revival and repackaging of old-fashioned domestic life has taken off.

[00:05:54]>> See, if it's a luxury, if it's now luxurious to be a stay-at-home wife, then doesn't that mean the system that we're currently in is regressed? The boss babe is a regression. If what your mother or say in this instance in the west your great-g grandandmother your grandmother used to get by default it was the standard. If your life today is a regression and hers was a luxury then what are you fighting for? What's the point of the system? You see how it falls on its face the moment you question things just a little bit. It's like here's a little bit of hypocrisy.

[00:06:30]Does this make sense? How could this be considered luxury? but then also regressing back to a traditional way of life that's like you should lose your job for saying a woman belongs in the kitchen but at the same time it's somehow a luxury to be afforded. It makes no sense because it doesn't actually make sense to life as a trad.

[00:06:52]>> So is it a hack for happy homes? wife that stays home that cooks the dinner that does >> or a step backwards for women >> while the man is out making the money.

[00:07:06]>> Okay, let's suit up more.

[00:07:08]>> That's a beautiful Do you see this [ __ ] Look at Look at the property. Hey, that's the property line down here somewhere. We don't even see it. That's the road they go into their house. They have a separate paved but look at this.

[00:07:20]This is a huge plot of land. A pool. Uh yeah, yeah, yeah. Such a nightmare.

[00:07:27]>> Let's suit up. All right, just make sure they do bees, too. Why not?

[00:07:32]>> It's 8:30 on a Monday morning. And Amber Basanovich is hard at work. She puts everything into being the perfect housewife.

[00:07:41]>> All right, you're fine to lift it up all the way now.

[00:07:44]>> Beautiful.

[00:07:45]>> Now, I'm going to show you the inside.

[00:07:47]>> And today, that means tending to her bees to make honey for her family. Now, this is gorgeous. See how filled with honey bees?

[00:07:57]>> But life, >> like the the scaremongering propaganda they're going for is like it's just a complete failure when you're watching this.

[00:08:06]>> And for the ladies that are the quote boss babes, modern women seeing this, like you have to get on this level.

[00:08:11]Yeah. Yeah. You do have to raise chickens. You do have to go collect eggs. You're going to have to cut their heads off. You're going to have to learn how to process the chick. You're going to have to learn how to do the bee stuff. You're going to have to learn how to make jams and jellies out of things.

[00:08:22]Yeah. Because if you want the kind of man that could produce this kind of life, you're going to have to be this kind of woman. If you're boss baby at work and all you know is how to spend money on your hair and your nails, don't expect any of this [ __ ] And you're not entitled to any of it. Go enjoy being with some soy boy in the office, your [ __ ] coworker, and yeah, get stabbed or raped in the street, and he he's going to run away while it's happening.

[00:08:45]Like, you chose this. this is the dream that was sold to you and you bought into it and you propagate and you uphold it in society. So until women wholesale start to say, "Okay, we had enough. This clearly this [ __ ] ain't working. My grandma had a luxurious lifestyle where the man was working. I was at home doing all this cool [ __ ] Uh we're going to have to go back." So we tried it this way. Feminists were wrong. They're just ugly and wanted to [ __ ] men and they couldn't. So they instituted these rules on society and then forced us all into the workplace just like they had to cuz they were ugly and couldn't get a man.

[00:09:15]So now we're gonna go back to that. So sis, if you're ugly, you're going to have to just deal with it. We're not doing this work [ __ ] anymore. It's that simple. It really is. It's always been that simple.

[00:09:26]>> Didn't always look this way.

[00:09:29]>> Is this the life you've always wanted?

[00:09:31]>> No. So we were chasing so much more. I was always career driven. I had goals of what I wanted to achieve. And then I just started getting burnt out. And having a family changed everything for me. like >> you want to be a good mom, you want to be a good wife, you want to be there for yourself, too. And >> being so time poor, it it just I couldn't do it.

[00:09:52]>> Amber quit her job as corporate operations manager for a global makeup brand to run the home and it certainly seems to work for everyone.

[00:10:01]>> Yeah, it's a good balance. Like um yeah, I do my bit, she does her bit. Vice versa. If each other need help, we help help each other.

[00:10:08]>> Well, I mean she's clearly miserable.

[00:10:10]You've got to change to the kitchen. I can see that.

[00:10:12]>> Definitely not. It's by choice. It's a happy home.

[00:10:14]>> It is a very happy home.

[00:10:16]>> Unlike Amber and Crishy.

[00:10:17]>> Yeah. And you say how I want you to hear in between the line. It's by choice.

[00:10:23]We always have to say it's by choice.

[00:10:25]It's it's the women who cho almost like a what a preemptive like, uh, don't hate. Don't send any negativity my way.

[00:10:35]She chose to do this. Why do we have to speak like that? I wanted my wife to stay at home. I told her quit her job. I could afford her to stay home. This isn't working for the family. She was time poor, never home with us. This is not the ideal way to raise a family. I told her to quit and she found how to make it work at home. How about we just say that [ __ ] How about that? How about without preempting it? Well, it was her choice or like the other guy in the beginning. So, you're the boss in the house and he's like, you'd have to ask her. We're still halfway in the blue pill simp [ __ ] until we're able to speak openly, freely. Yeah, I'm the boss. Duh. No [ __ ] I earn all the money. My wife is in a privileged position. She stays at home and watches the kids. It's teamwork to make the dream work. Yeah, I'm the head of the household as is commanded by God. You have a problem with that? Cuz she doesn't. Look, she's smiling and happy.

[00:11:27]You're here interviewing me. Why don't guys get it like that? We're always having to like It's under the feminine lens that this is all being viewed.

[00:11:37]That's society. Under the feminine lens of like, yeah, well, she's the boss. You got to ask her. Huh? It was her choice.

[00:11:46]The men have zero input.

[00:11:48]Still, this entire narrative here is that men have zero input. It's only the women making these decisions.

[00:11:55]>> Jana and Austin don't have children yet.

[00:11:58]So, Jana calls herself a stay-at-home wife, but don't for a minute think that she's bored or unfulfilled.

[00:12:05]She spends her days looking after herself as well as the house. And it's all uploaded to her adoring online audience, which some might say looks and sounds a lot like work.

[00:12:16]>> That is delicious. Austin's gonna love me. And the muffins.

[00:12:20]>> Do you consider yourself now an influencer, a content creator? Cuz that's a job, right?

[00:12:24]>> Right. I would say I'm a content creator. And it is kind of like a job.

[00:12:28]So yeah, I do love the perks of having social media and what it comes with with the opportunities and the brand deals.

[00:12:33]And it is good pay per video. I do enjoy it. It is good extra income for us.

[00:12:40]There are thousands of social media accounts just like Jan.

[00:12:43]>> So even with a monetary incentive and it's all fake and an aesthetic and they're getting paid. I would rather this fake [ __ ] all over the timelines of young women. I would rather this wholesale destroy whatever feminism promised them, whatever liberal democracy promises them, and just gets flooded with this kind of content. Fake or not, I don't give a [ __ ] This is a much better message than the slot that they're currently consuming. And if she even is doing it for money, just hear this one out. Instead of going at a corporate office to work for some other company, she gets to stay at home and literally the guy comes home to like cookies, muffins, a clean house, and she figured out a way to monetize the [ __ ] she's already doing. And so he comes home to a happy home and his wife is making money doing the things a ordinary housewife would do. Still winning.

[00:13:33]It's still good overall for society.

[00:13:35]Yeah, there is grifters in there. There is fake TRD wives and they're probably absolute harpies and it's a nightmare to deal with them off camera. I'm sure there is, bro. But in the age of propaganda and disinformation, misinformation and scops, this is a good scop to be pushing on women, if you want to consider it that. I would much rather see this kind of [ __ ] all over timelines. Like, yeah, go make me something with that bag of sugar from scratch instead of some chick shaking her ass like a [ __ ] ape by a pool.

[00:14:05]surrounded by dudes with gold chains, jewels, and like absolute degenerate [ __ ] on social media. Like, no, no, give me this chick in her little flower dress with a cup of coffee reading a book.

[00:14:15]I'll take that over whatever the [ __ ] the whole modern boss babe is consuming.

[00:14:20]I don't need a man. What's a man good for? Men, we need to desenter ourselves.

[00:14:23]Get that [ __ ] out of the timelines of young women.

[00:14:27]>> Nice. Some with millions of followers.

[00:14:29]>> Let that rise for about 5 hours before turning it out and roughly shaping it into two lows. serving up a glossy, glamorized version of domestic. It's a very kind of tranquil life, very quiet.

[00:14:41]There isn't children asking, "Mommy, mommy, mommy, can I have this? Can I have that?" You don't have to do like the dishes and walk the dog and and work and do a sent like all at the same time, which is kind of the daily experiences I have or other American mothers have.

[00:14:54]Professor Hijong Chong is director of the Global Institute for Women's Leadership at London's Kings. Oh, >> you know, she hates this.

[00:15:00]>> She's been tracking what's behind the TRD wife phenomenon. We're at a point in society where there's a very high level of stress. So if you go on the internet and see this woman who is completely nonstressed, very relaxed, has this very kind of beautiful relationship with their children where they're feeding them homemade homemade sourdough bread, it is a bit alluring.

[00:15:20]>> So is it a rejection then of modern pressures and the juggle, the chaos?

[00:15:24]>> I think there is a bit of a false nostalgia. I think one of the dangers of what the Treadwives are showing is that what they're depicting never existed.

[00:15:32]This whole idea that oh in the 1950s women were able to be look pretty and leisurely kind of break bread from scratch never actually existed. There was a lot of housework to be done. There was a lot of drudgery and unfortunately when you decide to be a housewife >> and she doesn't know what she's talking about because she hasn't lived in that era. Look my mother and my grandmother and I lived in the Balkans partially as a child. I saw what it was like 30 40 years prior, right? It's like a capsule in time. It's a snapshot. The Balkans are like 30, 40 years behind America.

[00:16:02]Back then when I was a kid, I saw what that was like going out in the yard, watching my mom and my grandmother slaughter chickens, the pigs, feeding them, planting crops, plucking them, processing, making wine, making homemade like um it's called pelinka. It's like super strong. It's basically like with the some of the strongest alcohol moonshine. I guess you could call it straight up moonshine. Wines, jams, jellies, hanging dry meat. I have a video on my Instagram where I reunited my parents with my grandmother and it literally shows me I'm walking in my grandma. My grandma her ripe age of I don't even know 70 something is in her outdoor shed hanging up a ton of pork, dry meat from the little celebration they just had. They go sometime around New Year's they slaughter a whole pig and process it for the family. She's doing that by herself. This whole drudgery, this [ __ ] it's fake. They would much rather have that lifestyle.

[00:16:59]They were much more free in that lifestyle. They had the aesthetic because nobody was fat because they were eating good, clean food made at home by people who care about you, aka the women in your family. You think the women in your family back then wanted to feed their kids garbage, [ __ ] cereal boxes, and all this other like rainbow colored food? No, dude. You ate clean.

[00:17:22]You looked good. You didn't need a ton of makeup and all this [ __ ] to hide all your [ __ ] imperfection because you almost didn't have any because it was much cleaner to live the traditional life. Now they want to sell you on their [ __ ] products and the makeup and the [ __ ] concealer and all these skin care routines and everything. Everything to combat the modern life of the stress at work, the [ __ ] food you're eating, the pace of life in general. You can't afford anything, the cost of living.

[00:17:50]That stuff is what's causing all this [ __ ] and consumption in women, all that insecurity.

[00:17:56]She depends because it's her job to keep women dependent on her and her research and all the [ __ ] that she's doing.

[00:18:05]She's literally the advocate, the zealot for the modern woman.

[00:18:09]>> Without any financial means or independence, it does lead to problems with regards to your ability to be autonomous.

[00:18:17]Professor Chung's research also uncovered some disturbing attitudes among young men. This year we found that a third of Gen Z men found that women should always obey their husband. A third of Gen Z men. It was just a bit of a shocking figure.

[00:18:31]>> Um this the kitchen >> coming up on the hunt for a wife.

[00:18:35]>> Don't expect it to chain her up in the kitchen and say, "Make me a sandwich."

[00:18:37]Like it's it's not like that at all.

[00:18:42]>> Here's the switcheroo.

[00:18:45]Big bad men. This lavish Gold Coast home has it all. Six sprawling bedrooms, a pool, waterfront access to the quintessential Queensland lifestyle.

[00:18:55]>> Wow.

[00:18:56]>> Hi, how to nice to meet you.

[00:18:58]>> But for owner Tyson Gordon, who's just renovated.

[00:19:01]>> Wow, this is beautiful.

[00:19:02]>> Thank you. Thank you.

[00:19:03]>> It's enormous.

[00:19:03]>> Perfect family home.

[00:19:05]>> It's missing much more than furniture.

[00:19:07]>> Come upstairs and I'll show you around.

[00:19:09]>> So, I hear you're looking for a trad wife.

[00:19:11]>> Yeah. Traditional partner. Yeah. For me, it would be someone with good communication. um mutual >> wealthy in shape, well taken care of.

[00:19:20]How are they gonna [ __ ] on this guy?

[00:19:22]Please tell me.

[00:19:24]>> Respect for one another, kindness. It would be me being the provider and protector for the family and her being a good mother to to my to my children.

[00:19:32]This is the kitchen. We've got like a nice little um entertaining area out here as well.

[00:19:36]>> Are you looking for someone to >> cook and clean and and run the house?

[00:19:39]>> Um I don't expect it to chain her up in the kitchen and say, "Make me a sandwich."

[00:19:43]the preemptive. I'm not trying to ch Yes, bro. Yes, you live in a You have a six-bedroom house waterfront. You are most likely a multi-millionaire. You are in shape. You're not old as [ __ ] with wrinkly nothing. A good-looking young dude who is a success, an uber success.

[00:20:01]He's in the top 1%.

[00:20:03]Yeah, he wants a housewife for his [ __ ] mansion. And I think it's it's not like that at all. But, you know, if I am out working, if I'm out doing my thing and she wants to stay here, it's a choice. If she wants to stay here and cook and clean and look after the children and go out and fish and use the pool, whatever, I'm all for that. Plan to get a jetty out there, have some tinies and mistake. Tyson is adamant he's a modern man.

[00:20:26]>> And I just want to make it clear as well. I want her to actually have time for herself because I feel like it's important we all need our own time as well. So, she's not just going to be locked up in here all day. It's it's nothing like that.

[00:20:34]>> My past has not been without heartbreak.

[00:20:36]I've been married before. Tyson's mission to find his perfect partner, a travel led him to reality TV and nine's married at first sight, where he fast became public enemy number one.

[00:20:48]>> Know exactly what I want in my wife.

[00:20:50]Someone that's submissive. Um, someone that's not going to say, "Would you be a house husband?"

[00:20:55]>> He claims his greatest crime was being inarticulate.

[00:20:58]>> So submissive was the wrong word to use.

[00:21:00]Traditional is the word I was looking for.

[00:21:03]>> No, no, no, no. It wasn't, brother.

[00:21:04]They're shaming you. This is the gynof fascism. You're not allowed to speak truth. Uh submissive is what we want.

[00:21:12]Submission is what we want. It comes with the job of housewife. You submit to your husband. This isn't some she chose, he cho, but she can leave and lounge by the pool. No, no. There are requirements for each gender in this traditional setup. One of them is she must be submissive. If that doesn't vibe with you, go back to your [ __ ] cubicle and get raped by the tax man.

[00:21:38]>> And traditional was a word I wanted to use.

[00:21:40]>> So to be clear then, are you looking for a woman to to serve and obey you?

[00:21:45]>> I'm not looking for for a dog. I'm not looking to put my wife on a leash at all. I think it comes down to choices. I think it's really important for her children to to stay at home for as long as she likes to be able to bond with my children or our children.

[00:21:57]>> Yeah. Submission is literally just signs of respect. Like you trust your husband, you submit to their leadership. It has nothing to do with obey and serve. You [ __ ] I hate how they do this all the time. You want me to obey and serve?

[00:22:09]Like you you obey and serve nobody, which is why your life is a [ __ ] mess. You have no kids. You collect dogs like they're children. You call yourself dog moms. You collect other little furry creatures for your need to have a baby, which you can't. And then you end up getting knocked up by some absolute loser because you're on your last egg and you want to have a family. So you create the only thing you can is a broken home because you lack the leadership of a man. So yeah, maybe it's better that you submit to someone who is superior to you in every way because you date up. Your man is faster, stronger, smarter, wealthier, more mature, more knowledgeable, more everything than you.

[00:22:49]That is why you found him attractive.

[00:22:51]So, how about you lower yourself and stop trying to be his equal because you're not and you never will be. This guy is worth millions. You bring to the table not millions. But what you can bring to the table that a man finds worthy equal to his millions is submission, being pleasant, feminine, having his kids, taking care of the house while he's out making money. That to a man is worth millions. It's an equivalence men make. So when you ask a millionaire what he wants in a woman, he wants the equivalent of what a woman could provide. He doesn't give a [ __ ] about your career, your job, what a boss baby are, sm smart you are, and all this other dumb [ __ ] that women think and we're taught that men look for. They don't. Men look for different things.

[00:23:35]Men aren't women looking for [ __ ] women are looking for in men, >> I should say. And if she wants to go back to work, I'll support that. If she wants to stay home and cook and clean, I'm not going to argue with that. That's completely fine. So there's really nothing wrong with wanting a traditional relationship in this in this day and age. I think if you can financially support it, then why not?

[00:23:55]>> But for Professor Hi Jong Chong from King's College in London, Tyson's approach is problematic.

[00:24:02]>> Her research into the labor market and gender inequalities has exposed alarming trend. So there is a huge kind of uh rise of Gen Z men feeling that it is the men who have the final say in the household that women should obey their husband. What is it do you think about the tread wife movement that's appealing to them? So in a way men have lost ways of feeling being a man like I can't be the provider because my wife learns or my girlfriends earns more. I can't really be a protector because she's a strong empowered woman. Um so what do I >> do? You see, I can't be a protector cuz she's a strong, empowered woman. They don't even understand the physical differences between men and women. A skinny 110lb man would beat the absolute dog [ __ ] out of most women unless they're like maybe professionally trained and even then he has like a fighting ch. Like, do they even know the realm that they're living in? I don't They have not seen real danger. This is the problem. You re She thinks women have the physical prowess that they don't need men defending them ever.

[00:25:05]Really, dude? Really? So, this is the one that would be for proposing men and women in the same sport. Like, it's insane. It's insane. And they wonder why the world's falling apart and why people are quote, by their word, regressing back into traditionalism.

[00:25:23]It's not a regression, bro. It's we got off the beaten path. liberal democracy, liberal ideology, liberalism in general is [ __ ] garbage and it preserves nothing and it creates nothing but misery and poverty. The people cannot afford to live under this system. So, they're looking for another one and the one they have to look at is the one their grandparents lived under because it makes sense because it worked. So, all people are doing is the natural thing we do. If what you're trying doesn't work, you just go back to the old way, the the [ __ ] that used to work.

[00:25:54]That's it. It's not an alarming trend, sis. It's a diagnosis on a failing system. That's what it is.

[00:26:03]>> Have left. So, in a way, this is a way for men to kind of try to call back their masculinity.

[00:26:08]>> Well, cheers.

[00:26:09]>> Cheers.

[00:26:10]>> I know.

[00:26:10]>> Alina Pettit, though, doesn't know what all the fuss is about. She's been a tradife for much longer than it's been trendy. So, do you get bored?

[00:26:18]>> No, I don't have time to be bored. I am literally the mistress of my own time. A stay-at-home mom, Alina blogs about the joys of being a housewife.

[00:26:27]>> Today, I'm going to share with you five reasons why I love being a traditional stay-at-home housewife.

[00:26:31]>> During co lockdowns, her views really gained attention. Lots of women were finally getting to trial it for the first time cuz I couldn't go anywhere.

[00:26:38]And I had so many people say to me, "Oh my goodness, I actually love being at home. Don't want to go back to work."

[00:26:43]And then you had the opposite side saying, "This is dangerous." You know, like me dangerous in my apron and doing the vacuuming. No. Terrible. Terrible. What was your initial intention or aim? I think it was just to show the world that there was no positive role models for housewives out there anymore. They're always shown as oppressed, depressed.

[00:27:02]They want to get out. They hate doing it. I was just like, "Hang on a minute.

[00:27:04]I'm actually having a really lovely time doing this. I love this role. Where are my people?" For Alina, the choice and privilege to stay home and support her husband and teenage son is empowering.

[00:27:17]But she's watched with alarm as the movement shifted from sharing traditional values.

[00:27:22]>> Any man that tells you that he doesn't want a stay at home wife is lying to himself >> to glamorizing and monetizing housework.

[00:27:29]>> A large percentage of it at the moment is fake. It's really fake and it's monetized. It's been co-opted. I think people just started jumping on the bandwagon. people pivoted from less wholesome areas of the internet, shall we say, because it was the buzzword.

[00:27:43]Some of us are here just saying it's okay to stay home. It's okay to trust your husband. It's okay to take that risk if that's what makes you happy.

[00:27:52]>> All right, let's apron. This one's for you.

[00:27:55]>> Lovely.

[00:27:55]>> I've got one for every day of the week.

[00:27:56]Do you?

[00:27:57]>> This lifestyle certainly makes Amber Basanovich happy. The former corporate high-f flyier can't think of anything better than cooking and caring for her husband and daughters.

[00:28:08]>> Does dad cook?

[00:28:09]>> No, >> he doesn't need to. Why would you?

[00:28:12]>> It might work is um postings. That's all he could >> easily set for women.

[00:28:18]>> Oh yes, it would be a choice if we were to have had a society where there is no gender pay gap and women >> you see. And then it it's back to the harpy who's mad. I love going downstairs to fresh homemade from scratch meals from my wife who is happy giggling, listening to podcasts, singing in her zone. That [ __ ] makes me happy. I'm happy that if I'm feeling like [ __ ] or I'm stressed out, I get a massage. I get a back rub. I get head scratch. I get attention that a man needs from a woman.

[00:28:50]The feminine energy to keep you going.

[00:28:53]My house is pristine. You can eat off the floor. My woman is extremely clean.

[00:28:57]She doesn't need to go out and prove anything to anybody. She's more of a homebody or an introvert. She can get dalled up and absolutely dressed to the nines. And then she can just sit at home and relax. She doesn't smoke. She doesn't drink. She has a traditional Balkan background. She was raised in like a village of 20 people. She knows how to cut the heads off a chicken, plant things. She's making homemade tallow right now. We might end up selling it. Homemade soaps. Really clean stuff. Good for your skin. Nice smelling for men. Why? because she saw nobody makes any good stuff for men. It's all for women. So that and that's what she gets to do at home and she loves it. And she's not out in the clubs being a [ __ ] or at a job being a boss babe or any of that stupid [ __ ] that you have to deal with in the quote modern woman. She's not time poor. She's time rich and using all her time on things she actually cares about, which means she's happy, which is the opposite of the modern woman. So tell me how that is a regression. how that is suppressing women. It's [ __ ] You guys got sold an absolute fake dream and you're paying the price for it. You're on drugs.

[00:30:07]Young women today, what is it like 34% or if not more, 660? I don't even remember what the numbers were. There's an alarming number of women today on anti- what was it? Not antiscychotic pills. Um, I don't know, happy pills, like dep anti-depressives, you know, like more women today, despite having more freedom, more job opportunities, more everything are more depressed than they've ever been or report being more unhappy than they've ever been than all their predecessors. How could that be?

[00:30:38]Does she look happy?

[00:30:40]She seems to be the only unhappy one here. Isn't it funny?

[00:30:45]>> We're equally represented in the the fields of politics, in business. You know, if we had reached that position of equality and then women say, "Oh, actually, I want to go home and just take care of children." I think it would be a different matter. But in actuality, we're nowhere near it. If women had a partner who was doing a fair share, an equal, you know, um really being responsible for childare and housework in the home, >> would they have made those decisions?

[00:31:09]>> Both Amber and husband Cesy have no doubts about the decision they've made.

[00:31:13]And when you spend time with them, >> the premise of her worldview is that men and women are equal. We're not like men and women should be doing equal amounts of housework. Like men changing diapers and cooking and all this [ __ ] Uh men like to go grill. Men like to cut the grass. Uh go cut the branches, go clean the gutters. That's man work, you know, take out the trap. We naturally gravitate to based on our genetics, our gender towards different things. There are feminine interest and male interest and that comes with not just interest but responsibilities and duties. And the fact that you have to have this conversation with an adult human being is insane.

[00:31:56]We're not the same. We will never be the same. In the most egalitarian societies in Scandinavia, even the women there, despite having more freedoms than anywhere else in the world, still gravitate towards certain aspects of work and society, despite their best efforts to try to get them to nudge them in something like STEM fields, science, math, technology, all that stuff, engineering, they still don't they don't like that stuff. On average, we're not saying all, on average, a vast majority, a huge proponent of men prefer certain tasks and jobs and responsibilities.

[00:32:33]Same with women. She wants to pigeon hole everybody. In her world view, men need to be equal at home. Change diapers, do laundry, all this other [ __ ] clean up the kitchen. No, it's just not going to happen that way. Men leave like me. I leave glasses like this just randomly in my office. My woman just comes and she's like, "You're such a guy." Cuz women would never do that [ __ ] Women get annoyed when you leave like a spoon out in the kitchen and you're supposed to put it in the dishwasher or whatever. You know what I mean? We think different. It's just the thing. It's like, why do most men do this? A lot of men do this [ __ ] the the [ __ ] I do. It's just in us. We think different. And most women are super tidy and clean because that's how they're wired. And trying to pretend we're all the same is [ __ ] And this is how we got into this trouble in the modern world is culture war and this disconnection and the destruction of marriage and the family because you're trying to pigeon hole people into positions that they don't want to be in by nature.

[00:33:32]>> It's obvious that this is a tranquil, loving home. But even still, the trolls aren't convinced. I get told my husband's going to leave me, that he's going to cheat on me, um that I'm not contributing. Do you consider yourself a feminist? That's a very hard label because that's the type of person >> who gives a [ __ ] Online trolls are [ __ ] poor. They're just hating to hate because they see her lifestyle successful. I get the same hate, dude.

[00:33:55]Who who gives a [ __ ] Let's say your wife's going to leave you. Why'd you get married? All this stuff. Who cares, bro?

[00:34:01]Life is great. When the camera turns off, life's great. When the camera turns off, she sleeps in a beautiful house with a husband with kids. the trolls stay mad, stay consuming content, and stay paying her. It's same here. I don't care. Keep commenting, keep hating, keep saying the dumb [ __ ] I'm getting paid regardless. And when the camera's off, my life is great. My wife's still there.

[00:34:20]I have one. She's doing all the cooking and the cleaning and the traditional feminine duties. And she's happy for it.

[00:34:26]And she's not fighting a feminist imperative in her brain cuz she wasn't raised under one. I told everybody how to go out and get one of these, how to find a traditional society, what to look for in a woman. Uh, it's all there. It's all there. You either do it or you don't >> that I'm >> and don't worry about the other people.

[00:34:45]>> Receiving the most hate online from >> from feminists.

[00:34:49]>> Yeah. Pretty mind-blowing because >> isn't >> it's the same [ __ ] So, she's getting hate from feminist and I get hate from like manosisphere red pillars. You know, if you ever get married, that's like the anthesis for them. It's like, "Oh my god, dude. You got married. Oh my god, there's a red pill. What's your body count?" It's like, you haven't even gotten laid in years. What are you What What are you talking about? You're shopping for a [ __ ] flashlight, bro.

[00:35:13]Calm down. You're looking at blowup dolls and you talk to Chad GPT like it's your girlfriend. Like, slow it down.

[00:35:19]There's a weird proportion of the manosphere red pill that is like super radical like that. And those are the guys talking are usually the loudest.

[00:35:27]It's the same with the feminist. is the most radicalized wing of feminism that's hating on her. Like they're the butch dyke looking nose ring like buzzed hair, green, the craziest [ __ ] tats everywhere. Those are the ones in her comment section. She represents the literal thing they hate. It's the thing they can never be. It's the thing they never would have had access to. And it's the same with the anger in the red pill or the manosphere. When there's a successful person doing his thing and in a traditional lifestyle, it's the anger underneath of the thing that they could never attain or achieve or afford or whatever it is. Once you understand like that lens, it doesn't bother and it should never bother. It's just, hey, the reality is I represent something you want and then you hate on me for having it because you can't attain it yourself in your current position. That's the gist of a hater or an online troll. That is that's it.

[00:36:26]>> A feminist is supposed to be a person that is fighting for women to be able to do what they want to do. And they say target American treadw wife Jana Elizabeth too claiming she and husband Austin Michael a country music singer are romanticizing oppression.

[00:36:41]>> Sad girl got me all this stuff.

[00:36:43]>> For Jana that couldn't be further from the truth. She loves her role keeping house and planning to start a family.

[00:36:50]But Austin warns fulfilling his duty as leader of the house comes a lot of pressure. What would you say to Australian men looking for a trad wife?

[00:36:58]>> Keep looking.

[00:37:00]>> They're out there, man. If I could give any advice to to men looking for that kind of relationship. I think you ought to look at yourself first and consider are you worthy of that. I think there's simple >> a lot of the what gets confused as control which I see as responsibility um is not as great as it it seems to be you know >> do you feel it's a lot to carry I mean are you ever burdened by having to make all the decisions and earn all the money >> sure I mean it's I think it's just as um >> great responsibility >> yeah not to quote uh Spider-Man but with great power comes great responsibility right >> it's also in the Bible >> yes sorry Spider-Man >> well not not directly it's the same principle is definitely in the Bible yes >> whatever all works for you.

[00:37:40]>> Yeah.

[00:37:43]>> For so long, women have been told we can have it all and do it all. But maybe, just maybe, not everyone wants to anymore. So, what do you say to some of the the critics who would say, you know, your lifestyle is bringing down everything we fought so hard for?

[00:37:59]>> Well, I would just say that just like they have the right to choose, as do I, and I choose this lifestyle instead.

[00:38:07]on this week's 60 Minutes podcast. Extra minutes. Now, >> uh, why do they do that? They turn off the comment section because they would get destroyed.

[00:38:18]Anyways, not much more to add to this other than read between the lines.

[00:38:21]Notice that it is under the feminine worldview that they're pushing this despite it showing that most women would prefer if given the choice. They still have to label it as scary. There's still, this is still a piece that it shows you the carrot, but then behind it is like rotten worms and traps and cages and it's not it's not you don't have to believe me. Just go ask your grandma, your great grandma. Just go look at what people used to look like. Just go look at how happy people used to be and forget even the past. Do you think you're happy today? Do you find happiness in the lifestyle you have? Are you fulfilled going to your job? So the IRS or whatever tax man in whatever country you're located could take half of your income. Uh do you feel like you're making progress at your age compared to your grandparents where they owned home and land and had children? Do you feel like your life has meaning where you're constantly droning on like a bee going to and from your house to a job that you hate and to rinse and repeat this Monday through Friday? The drudgery of the modern life. Is that fulfilling for your soul? And then you wonder why people are turning to spirituality and traditionalism. Why we're going back to the church and traditional ways of living. I don't know. Maybe because it offered much more than what this world claims to offer today. And I'll leave you with that thought. Anyways, thank you so much for tuning in everybody.
