Alaina Demopoulos reports on Wife School, a video masterclass led by Tilly Dillehay, and on other web sites similar to Wife School:

"Wife School is part of a cottage industry of affable Christian women selling online courses to their compatriots promising connubial joy, with a generous helping of Bible passages and anecdotes from their own enviable relationships."

‘A husband expects a yes’: how wife schools are shaping submissive Christian women

A cottage industry of women are selling courses aligned with a conservative movement that claims feminism is the source of women’s discontent

"The proof of concept is their domestic bliss, they say: Dillehay has a satisfied husband, picture-perfect family and a living room that looks straight out of Pottery Barn catalogue. ...

Much of what they say is that every problem in a modern Christian marriage is the woman’s fault."

The basic message of Wife School, drawn from white evangelical Christianity, to women: Obey, please him, put him first, make him comfortable, submit to him in every respect, try to look pretty and make the home pretty: then you'll have the perfect marriage.

I can't read this description without suspecting that tradwifery is some kind of BDSM kink lifestyle.

Tradwifery is a template for domestic abuse.

That whole "female obedience is the highest virtue" schtick; it sets up girls to be victims of campus rape & sexual harassment in the workplace.

@wdlindsy It’s slavery with sex. There no other appropriate description for what these stupid women are promoting. If/When they become widowed or abandoned by their man, they will be incapable of looking after their family, of getting employment, or even dealing with the day-to-day finances and more. They are being taught to do nothing but clean house, obey, smile and breed. And die while breeding if they have any kind of medical emergency during pregnancy. 🤮
