Ha, that was more or less my view of the "Red Pill" guys from maybe ten or fifteen years ago and the "trad" guys nowadays. By the 90s, the claims made by people of a Certain Political Leaning about the plight of women in the 1950s had gone all the way off the rails, so the picture they painted was of men running around, doing rapes with absolute impunity, punching ladies in the face, and ruling their homes with an iron fist, holding the power of life and death, and forbidding women to read or talk, also this sandwich has mustard. A society like that has never existed, let alone in the US in the 1950s, but these guys had basically swallowed that story and when they figured there was something wrong with how things work nowadays, and so when they insisted things had to go back, the answer to the implicit question of "To where?" was this absurd caricature concocted in the 1970s and embellished in the intervening years. So they reason, "Janitors could buy houses back then. You know what? This sandwich *does* have mustard!" and conclude that an orderly society can only be constructed by doing maximum rapes and publicly caning your wife if she tries to read a book.

(It is kind of obvious that there is an undercurrent of fetishism with the "trad" people, but I keep getting the feeling that the same undercurrent is present with the Nuremspergs.)
