And TradWife / CottageCore often seems to be associated, almost like a gateway drug, with a whole bunch of 'traditional' right wing anti-feminist values.

FFS who would want to go back to hand-washing clothes . I remember the mangle, washboard etc... at my Grandmothers.
So to any romantic CottageCore picture add a filter if winter cold; grey and wet.
