They want the 50's and yet they are still feminists. Hmmmmm. Something not adding up. Oh wait, there it is: "No desire to hold a job", "lay around and watch Game Show Network", "spend time doing my hobbies". Ahh yes, the idealized version of the past. Not the version where most working class normal folks had to bust their butts to make ends meet. The common thread is always, "I want to be taken care of", "Husband does the work."
Women need to wake up from their dream and realize that they can't all be the princess. Only the King's daughter gets to be the princess. That is to say, there are not that many of them. In fact, they are fantastically rare. These worthless women are going to continue to be disappointed until they learn that a lifetime a hard work is everyone's destiny, in the home or out. Joy has to be found in service, to family and community, not finding a sucker to run into the ground.
I would love to find a women that is even kinda like my sister. But where do you find a Christian woman who submits to her husband, cooks 3 meals a day, bakes breads, cans jams and jellies, takes care of and homeschools the kids, sews, keeps the whole house clean, and prays.
They are out there but they are rare. Sure, lots of women want to stay at home, but they are not looking for the "work at taking care of the home" thing.
So realistically, where are the truly old-fashioned, willing to take care of the home and kids types? My theory is that they are so rare that only a few perceptive and high end professionals, like doctors are finding them. The average woman, for the average man is a nightmare. Yeah, my sister is married to a doctor. She could be buying diamonds and going to parties with his money but she would rather spend time at home in there country styled house, cooking, cleaning and taking care of kids.

An economic crash might force people to return to frugality out of necessity. Short of such an event, I doubt Western women will rediscover the joy of canning.
SCS,
WW need to learn their way around the kitchen first! You know, they need to figure out what pots and pans, the various utensils, et al do...
