It’s not really complicated. The “trad” role belongs to a social setup where women are domestic house slaves and offspring factories, legitimate offspring in the case of an offspring from a wife. This is the traditional pastoralist setup, the wife is just another type of female livestock.
Slavery is about the nature of those relationships, not the act. Just because you’re raising kids it doesn’t mean that it’s not slavery, something that’s exceedingly obvious to those who live in “chattel slavery” in which people are owned in more obvious ways, unmediated by debt relationships. Did you know that the words “cattle” and “chattel” and “capital” have the same root, that root word being head?
