Literally all the women in the article were abused, beaten and consider it a mistake. (None expressed regret about trying to get other women into the same situation. Some regret they taught their kids it is normal.)

Are you unaware or trying to whitewash? Trying to blame liberals while trying to distract from what non-liberals are?

I mean there's a reason why The Guardian chose these specific women to write an article about; and didn't write an article about women who felt they were abused in some other type of lifestyle.

That is absurd claim. Yes, guardian (and generally liberal or progressive media) have articles about domestic violence or abuse in other groups.

The claim is not that this is the only place where it happens. But, believes of this subculture ensure it will happen and members will support the abuse.

A publication with the opposite ideological stance as The Guardian would make the same argument except about Muslims rather than tradwives; and the same people at The Guardian who wrote this article would argue that it's immoral to claim that believers of that subculture ensure domestic abuse of women will happen and members will support the abuse.

Tradwifes are equivalent of fundamentalist muslims who believe in female submission. I literally read articles about violence in that community.

Muslims in general would be equivalent of christians in general. The article is not about christians in general, but about tradwifes.

YOU want to frame the situation as just an aesthetic choice. Or "having kids" choice, as if having kids necessitated submission to husband.
