Pretty good. Trads also sometimes means people who want to go back to feudal or ancient ways, old school Catholics, and various other things. It can mean different things depending on the context but it generally tends toward social conservatism and old school patriarchy.

This is simply incorrect. Any historian versed in this area will point to the fact that the version of "trad-lifestyle" being pushed by its supporters simply did not exist in feudal Europe. In fact, I don't think the form they push really existed for any length of time in the USA, either. Maybe there was a form of it somewhere in the world but I strongly doubt the people pushing this lifestyle would even know.
