      You get to work 24/7 with no holidays.

      Also it's free labor akin to slavery as you are paid nothing and are only provided the necessary resources to reproduce your labor - not even including the literal part of creating the next generation to Perpetuate the cycle

            $100k is the rough annual payment on a 25 year mortgage at ~$1.25 million

            In the top 5-10 percent of workers iirc

              yeah but that site lists the average yearly expenses for one person at $40,000 which again seems really high

        Actually, looking again, I can see that. However... Knowing how their brains work, I highly doubt it's actually intended to be a swaddled baby. That's far too generous.

          The way her clothes conform to her breasts like paint, combined with this arms folded under her knockers as if to cradle and present them is something I've only seen in lamer anime. Which is probably the model the artist used now that i think about it.

          it could be two swaddled babies but I kinda don't buy it

          Well, buying babies is morally wrong, so I think that's the right call

      It's because the apron appears to be vacuum-sealed to each of the wojak tradwife's breasts individually instead of as a cohesive structure, like how some poorly drawn Samus fanart would be.

      The tradwife must be reserved, modest, and virginal, but also dressed to show off her cartoonishly curvy body and eagerly up to do anything kinky porn star sex act.

      You want to have that haircut because you're an impressionable chud with no sense of personal style.

      I want to have that hairstyle because it would be nice to be able to grow a not-goatee beard and have a full head of hair thonk-cri

      That haircut is so weird to me, because that was an urban hipster look in like the late aughts/early teens, the exact opposite of the alpha chud type, yet they picked it up anyway. So whenever they have that cut it just looks like they’re cosplaying a Williamsburg barista circa 2011.

    How many of these trad idiots are actually capable of providing for 3 or more people on one salary? Like yeah there's probably some overlap between these types and techbros but there's way more trad idiots out there than wealthy tech bros.

      How many of these trad idiots are actually capable of providing for 3 or more people on one salary?

      On the one end, you've got the terminally online Reddit dorks doing TradCath cosplay. And for them, its next to none. Doubtful any of them have actually tried to do the math on what supporting five people costs, but if they have I guarantee they fudged the numbers by scratching out "Cost of Education" and penciling in "Home Schooling" or knocking their food budget down by scribbling "Vegetable Garden" or "Deer Hunting" in the margins.

      On the other end, you've got the Silicon Valley folks that got Quiver-pilled. For them, its significantly easier to cover the basic standard of living. But they're coming to it so late in life that its impractical from a biological perspective. Like, the other 40 year old you've finally hooked up with isn't going to give you three healthy children. And while the Sugar Baby websites are abundant, the odds of you actually settling down and having a normal happy marriage with someone half your age who is explicitly only interested in you for survival is... bad. Real bad. Just ask Pappa Elon.

      So either way, the fantasy is fucked. You pretend at doing survivalism out of your family's cabin in Idaho and surfing FarmersOnly.com for TradWives for a few years before even that becomes too expensive. Or you throw yourself into 10 years of grad school and hustle culture and Learn2Code boot camps until you break six figures and can afford a 1600 sqft ranch home built in the 1980s. Then get on Tinder and try to get anyone to notice you for five more. Finally meet someone you can settle down with, just in time for your social security to kick in.
