OP takes the position that all trad wives are just like Nazis. I take a more nuanced position on trad wives: there is not one definition and calling all trad wives Nazis because some things some trad wives believe overlap with some things Nazis believe is and specious.

OP told me (literally) to "sit down" among other things. I called out OP for acting just like a Nazi sympathizer. Instead of OP addressing my points, I was yelled at and told to shut up.

There is also a marked difference between writing, "you are a Nazi sympathizer" and "you are acting like a Nazi sympathizer." I doubt very much that OP is a Nazi sympathizer. What OP IS doing is using the tactics of the people OP claims to abhor, and was enraged at me for calling that out.

Jung wrote about everyone having a "shadow" in our subconscious. Our "shadow" represents the things we hate about ourselves. When we see those things in others, it triggers us. We become angry because it reflects on that part of ourselves that we don't like. Examples of this are people who have an undefinable hatred of Trump or Clinton or Obama.

My example was how OP was acting just like the people OP hates in their response to my nuanced take on trad wives.

I'm not dying on a hill here. I'm neither a trad wife nor a Nazi. I don't have a dog in this hunt. I saw (and see) a large number of women who are happy following a more "traditional marriage" (e.g. trad wives) who in no way support what the Nazis stood for - war, ethnic cleansing, genocide, slavery, murder, terrorism, etc. in the pursuit of achieving political and military domination.
