Then enlight me. You said that I have a "outdated" idea of what being a traditional women means. But by definition, isn't traditional, well, following traditions? I mean, and maybe this is "lost in translation" but isn't traditional the opposite of mordern?

If not marry and have children? What want modern-traditional women?

You think that saying that I'm happy if traditional men end with traditional women is "pasive-aggresive"? Really? How is judmental saying that you can have what you want and at the same time that works also for me?

I think it is way more judmental of you to think that all women should live like you want to live. That what works for you, should work for us. But no. My traditional grandmas might have teach me how to behave traditionally (I suppose you consider them outdated XD). It is no secret that traditional women are expected to marry, have children and become stay at home moms. That is why the man is expected to be the "provider". Expect to be provided for and not offering the SAHW part is not holding up your part of the deal.

So tell me, what do you mean by "traditional" if not becoming a housewife?
