One tradwife’s terrible take on housework was met with the mockery it truly deserved
If you haven’t yet spotted the term ‘tradwife’ on your travels, lucky you – but we’re about to ruin that.
A tradwife, as it sounds, is someone who believes in the traditional role of the wife, and by ‘traditional’ we mean patriarchical – doing all the housework, raising children, blindly obeying the man of the house.
One tradwife on Twitter, Isabella Riley Moody, shared an absolutely ridiculous take on dishwashing with some casual homophobia at its heart.
Twitter wasted no time – and these were our favourite comebacks.

Say what you will about this take but it definitely supports my “all men should be gay” agenda https://t.co/bv6WT8OF3s

I wash dishes because my undergraduate chemistry lab classes taught me how to clean glassware very thoroughly. I need to make the tuition worth it.

If true, gay helpful husband is preferable to straight jerk husband. https://t.co/SDoWBumMno

You have a terrible husband if he doesn't do the dishes. https://t.co/aI5YASEgOz

My husband has done dishes many times in our marriage. He will even vacuum and dust. I've never asked him to help either, but he knew some of my days were jam packed. (Nothing is sexier than a man doing the dishes.)
And, I rebuilt a fuel pump and a carburetor so he could sleep. pic.twitter.com/ukK14DArcd

You ever see a take that is so insanely stupid that the only response you have is to just laugh? https://t.co/H8VfEu2cno

One man had this to add.
Well, if I had a husband I would think so. But not because he does the dishes. https://t.co/b1rSpdrOTW
