Courtney Palmer, a stay-at-home mom, has stirred the pot with her call for what she dubs “princess treatment” from her husband during their outings. With two little words, she’s ignited a raging debate about chivalry and gender roles. Some people are totally on board, thinking it’s sweet, while others are throwing shade, claiming it’s a ticket back to the dark ages of outdated gender norms. Honestly, you’d think she was trying to start a new royal family!
While Palmer feels that being treated like royalty makes her special, critics, affectionately labeled as “tradwife haters,” are just not having it. They argue that such expectations promote ideas from a bygone era that no longer serve women’s independence. It’s hard to believe two simple words could spark such a fierce discussion. Maybe being a “princess” isn’t as sweet as it sounds; perhaps it’s time to ditch the tiara and embrace modern equality?
It raises an interesting question: is being treated like a princess a harmless romantic belief, or does it give a bad rap to the idea of gender equality in relationships? What’s your take on basic chivalry in today’s world? Is it outdated, or does it deserve a comeback?
