Hard to say what's better, the satire or straight analysis, they're both so sharp. But that's all the simping you'll get out of me today, whether you deserve much more or not. You said elsewhere that: "I think to love and analyse and revere books and to read them deeply is essentially morally neutral. I also think not reading books at all is morally neutral and I think the way I read is morally neutral." And isn't this relativism at the heart of your difficulty reaching a conclusion about tradwives here?

That isn't a criticism. As Archimedes said, "give me a place to stand and a lever long enough, and I'll move the world," but in the end the choice of where to stand can seem pretty arbitrary.
