Is it normal to romanticize traditional gender roles?
I can't help but romanticize the days when gender roles were so clear.

There's nothing wrong with doing that. As long as you're not forcing your viewpoint on others, fantasize away.

Yes, it is normal because human beings do not like sudden change. Even if we eventually adapt it's hard for us to realise that things are no longer as they used to be.
You mean like a man and a woman, with both being over the age of consent? So gross.
It's a time tested lifestyle. Nothing to be ashamed of, it's just that it's something you have to choose for yourself.
Nothing I want more than a trophy wife. I'll work whatever bullshit job to keep her.
Trophy wives are severely harmful to families. You’re teaching your children how they see themselves.
Do you want your daughter to look at the two of you and see that the only thing her father values in her mother is her looks ? What does that teach a young girl ?
Your marriage should be one of example. The mutual respect and admiration that parents show for eachother is one of the greatest things that can be seen by children.
Like I said. Choose to be. I suppose trophy wife wasnt the best example (after quickly google searching the term) I ment a self assured woman who WANTS to be a housewife. That's my ideal woman which I currently have. Though I'm fully supporting her educational pursuits as we wont have kids for a while so we can gain some capital beforehand.
I worry for these housewife-workingman dynamics because they’re almost impossible to maintain in the current day. And were riddled with intense issues in the past as well.
And saying “work any bullshit job to keep her” sounds like you’ll work to the bone. If you work 60-80 hours a week you might as well just be paying child support. That’s when you see the dads who can’t even remember their kids birthday
Though I know you said you wanted a hobby farm someday. We own some hogs, goats, sheep, and cattle. Trade meats and hides for vegetables and grains to your neighbors. Your partner can absolutely make some money in animal husbandry.
You will not get rich on a small scale, but it’s good side money, and eliminates a lot of the grocery bill. If you hunt that’s even more cost off. I also suggest looking into farming microgreens, restaurants and organic groceries will buy from you and it is very easy to do, fast turnaround time and low space required.
I still maintain that both parents working low hours is the best model, economically and emotionally/socially. Isolation and idle hands is deadly, that’s why you see the trend of housewives becoming wino shopaholic neighbor-bangers, and husbands becoming nothing but a cashcow
