What do they mean with "trad" anyway. Women used to work. Even noble women worked. They learned to defend their homes, hunt and do the accounts. They didn't just sit on their backsides and embroidered.

Embroidery is work, too

"Trad" likely refers to legal guardianship of the past, where women were essentially the property of men with no legal autonomy.

It means they don't like to make choices, have everything be governed by the 'natural' order.

They are deathly afraid about every decision they need to make in life and choose for the most comfortable option.

I kinda agree with choosing comfort in your life chooses, however actively choosing a trad wife lifestyle is a lot like saying freedom of speech doesn't matter because you've nothing to say.
